Trailer For The Documentary BORIS KARLOFF: THE MAN BEHIND THE MONSTER
The past few months, I’ve found myself exploring the films and life of legendary actor Boris Karloff. It’s been a lot of fun rewatching many of his films and seeing others for the first time. I’ve gotten lost in the Karloff rabbit hole and I’m not ready to find my way out of it.
Most people know him from the Universal monster films he starred in such as Frankenstein and The Mummy. But, there is so much more that is interesting about Karloff, and so many more films that he starred in where he gave amazing performances such as The Body Snatcher, Bedlem, and Isle of the Dead, just to name a few.
To celebrate Karloff and his wonderful accomplishments, there’s a documentary that’s been made titled Boris Karloff: The Man Behind the Monster. It digs deep into his life and chronicles the star's incredible career and the kind of person he was.
