 | Frankenstein (75th Anniversary Edition) (Universal Legacy Series)
Buy new: $21.49 / Used from: $5.99 Although in movies since 1919, it all starts here for Boris. A truly legendary performance that still resonates especially in this 75th anniversary edition.

 | I Walked with a Zombie / The Body Snatcher
Buy used from: $5.65 BODY SNATCHER is Karloff's second best performance showcasing his voice and his dramatic capabilities. One of 3 1940s films for producer Val Lewton. All are essential to an appreciation of Boris.
|
 | The Mummy
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.55 My personal favorite of Karloff's 1930s films. Loads of atmosphere and incedible make-up stay with you long afterwards. Karloff's Im-Ho-Tep is alternately terrifying and pathetic.
|
 | The Ghoul
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $2.75 This 1933 British rarity was only recently discovered in a pristine print that shows us what all the fuss was about. Great support from Ernest Thesiger as the manservant.

 | The Devil Commands
Buy used from: $3.48 The best of Karloff's 1940s films for Columbia thanks to a creepy script, low key lighting and the direction of the up and coming Edward Dmytryk.

|
 | Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (Deluxe Edition)
Buy used from: $9.72 One of the most beloved of all the 1960s Christmas offerings showcases the unique Karloff voice and his storytelling abilities. Even people who don't know him by name recognize this classic.
|
 | Targets
Buy used from: $4.79 Forget the final Mexican films, this is Boris' last hurrah and one of his greatest performances. Part social commentary and part homage it is even more effective today which speaks volumes about the world we live in.
