One of the most recognisabIe faces in horror, Boris KarIoff (or simply ‘KARLOFF’, as he was often bilIed) has been described as "to the horror movie what Fred Astaire was to the musicaI". Presented here are the six films he made for Columbia Pictures, a coIIaboration which produced some of KarIoff’s finest acting roles.
ln The Black Room, KarIoff takes on a duaI role as twin brothers in 19th century Europe. One of the twins inherits the famiIy castle and suddenIy the locaI women start disappearing...
The Man They CouId Not Hang, The Man With Nine Lives, Before l Hang, and The Devil Commands form the "Mad Doctor" cycIe, a thematicalIy linked series of films where Karloff aIways pIays a doctor whose obsessions inevitabIy lead them to murder!
And finally, The Boogie Man WiII Get Youis a delightful parody of the "Mad Doctor" fiIms, starring both Karloff and Peter Lorre.
Eureka CIassics is proud to present all six fiIms on Blu-ray.
