The Black Cat
(1934) Universal Region 1 DVD (Bela Lugosi Collection Boxset) | Lugosi
and Karloff together for the first time, and both play off each other
superbly. The film is strong, but with a poor ending. Recommended to Karloff/Lugosi and Universal Horror fans. |
Black Friday
(1940) Universal Region 1 DVD (Bela Lugosi Collection Boxset) | A poor attempt by Universal to mix horror and gangster genres. Karloff gets a decent but limited role. Of interest to Universal Horror completists only. |
The Comedy of Terrors (1964) MGM Region 1 DVD | A Shakespearian comedy, boosted by strong performances and direction. Karloff has a small but effective role. Recommended. |
The Invisible Ray (1936) Universal Region 1 DVD (Bela Lugosi Collection Boxset) | One of the best Universal Horror pictures, with some great performances from Lugosi and Karloff and a good storyline. Highly recommended to Karloff and Universal Horror fans. |
The Raven
(1935) Universal Region 1 DVD (Bela Lugosi Collection Boxset) | Based on the
famous Poe poem, Karloff gets an underwritten and limited role in this
poor film. Only recommended to Lugosi fans. |
The Raven
(1963) MGM Region 1 DVD | A clever twist on the classic poem provides a good backing for this well directed film with a good turn from Karloff. Recommended to AIP gothic and Karloff fans. |
