Customer Reviews

First rate book on the filmography of Hollywood's Gentle Monster.

Superb book from the Citadel press Actor's series, detailing the films and life of Boris Karloff. All of Karloff's films are covered from the early silent days where he was a bit actor, through his transitional period in the 30s and through his ensuing stardom as the greatest of all Horror actors. Loaded with rare photographs and behind the scenes anecdotes on his classic films, this along with the same author's "Films of Bela Lugosi" are essential in any Horror fan's book collection. Note of sadness: The author of this book passed away earlier this month. Thank you, Mr. Bojarski for the wonderful book. May it continue to entertain further generations.
