It must have been something to see him on the stage, too. Raymond Massey can only hint at what it must have been like to have Karloff as brother Jonathan in “Arsenic and Old Lace”.

“I wish movies like this were ever on TV, which they aren’t. How else are budding horror movie kids ever going to figure out that they even like classic horror? At least we all had the opportunity to sort of fall into our likes after seeing lots of different movies”

Oh, I couldn’t agree more. Everything is available all the time, but with everyone now able to “star” on YouTube, blogs, etc., no one has time for the past, making us all chrono-chauvinists.

But Karloff lives eternal.

Karloff was a trouper, that’s for sure!

I wish movies like this were ever on TV, which they aren’t. How else are budding horror movie kids ever going to figure out that they even like classic horror? At least we all had the opportunity to sort of fall into our likes after seeing lots of different movies. Even a bad horror film gives you some context and maybe a few chuckles.

I also wish more of Karloff’s TV material was easily available. I got plenty of nightmares from “Thriller”!
