A Master of Horror speaking with genuine admiration for another Master of Horror. They don't make them like Christopher Lee anymore. RIP to the true Dark Knight.
RIP Bela Lugosi (October 20, 1882 - August 16, 1956), aged 73 RIP Boris Karloff (November 23, 1887 - February 2, 1969), aged 81 RIP Sir Christopher Lee (May 27, 1922 - June 7, 2015), aged 93 You will be remembered as legends.
Boris owed Corman a day or two of shots from The Terror so Corman used him in the Peter Bogdanovich film "Targets". "Karloff was under contract and owed Corman those two days. Karloff was so impressed with the script that he refused pay for any shooting time over his contracted two days. He worked for a total of five days on the movie."
@@ivans.191 yep I suppose so they are very similar films in style.Im a massive fan of all this horror, from hammer, amicus and tigon,to Pete walker and Norman j warren, argento, bava and fulci,and my favourite actors are,Cushing,Lee,price and karloff. It's a shame we will never see their like again, they were all absolute gentleman too,according to people who worked with them.
Botis Karloff was given a lot more to work with in his Frankenstein films than Christopher Lee was given to do in Curse Of Frankenstein. In the Hammer film the Monster is just a one note villain and not much else. But Boris Karloff's Frankenstein character was given dialogue, emotional range, sensitivity.
You might want to watch "Curse of Frankenstein" again and dig in more deeply. Lee's performance is very sympathetic. Pathetic, even. He gave a similarly affecting performance in "The Mummy", again with no dialog, acting only with his eyes and body language. Clearly, Karloff had the advantage of better scripts and directors...though I'm a huge fan of Terence Fisher...but Lee elevated those films with his sensitive performances.

Yeah he is quoting the 'Bela' character in Tim Burton's biopic about Ed Wood. It's not the most historically accurate film but few biopics are. It's an entertaining watch if you let that caveat rest by the wayside.

They were greats.
Irreplaceable.
Colleagues & friends, two of the finest gentlemen of stage & screen. 🎭
A real gentleman, along with Peter Cushing
He had the coolest voice. RIP.
Both lee and Karloff

Boris was born in London, England ... birth cerif name - William Henry Pratt ... changed to Boris K when on tour with a play in Canada ...
Christopher Lee
I could listen to Christopher Lee for hours
Three legends ❤❤❤
RIP Darth Tyranus A.K.A Count Dooku
Karloff, Lee and Cushing were the great English actors of horror.
Boris Karloff was the best actor to play the Frankenstein monster without a doubt.. Just as Christopher Lee was the best Dracula by far
Best Dracula, really?
@@mikeykine257 I have always thought Bela Lugosi the best.
I totally agree with you
There’s only Lugosi 😊
R.I.P
Sir Christopher,Boris,and Bela.🎬👏👏👏👏👏👏
The more I look at these documentaries the more I see these films get remade over and over
Rip the legend 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.
An Actor portrays a role in a story, Boris Karloff made make up and expression come alive, a truly frightening dude.
What did Sir Christopher think of Herman Munster?
As Bugs Bunny once said: "He`s such an interesting monster". For me his best is, Frankenstein, The Body Snatchers and How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
hey, what documentary is this cut out of?
100 years of horror
Corman didn't direct The Comedy Of Terrors, that was Jacques Tourneur.
Yes, I know. Lee was mistaking. It's just it was made in the style of Corman's Poe films, so probably that's why Lee confused them

I love him in Colonel March n Mr. Wong. Hollywood should have foreseen how popular they'd become AND MADE MORE!
This is beautiful❤

I never tire of watching WP as the Frankenstein creature.
WP? William Pratt?
@@Rickkennett143 duuhhh
Yeah!!!!
@@johnvoice815 When asked why he changed his name Karloff said, "Because Billy Pratt wouldn't scare anyone."
That's like saying why Reg Dwight changed his name to
Elton John because Reginald Dwight did'nt make him sound gay enough..
my favourite bogeyman
🖤

🧟♂️. ❤
Such nice things Vincent Price is saying about Boris
It was his privilege to act with Karloff? When exactly did they act together?
@@Ebert-Pincus Corridors of Blood, Colonel March of Scotland Yard (TV series), Curse of the Crimson Altar
Thank you. You would think they'd include a clip of them acting together for this piece.
Karloff, Karloff, That's not acting. All that is is grunting
Some of the best acting. He brought Frankenstein to life in a way no one else has been able to replicate.
Define acting for me. You seem to feel it means "saying words".
Guys I'm pretty sure OP's referencing Ed Wood.
Yeah he is quoting the 'Bela' character in Tim Burton's biopic about Ed Wood. It's not the most historically accurate film but few biopics are. It's an entertaining watch if you let that caveat rest by the wayside.
Boris Karloff is known as the baron of horror movie!!
