The Boris Karloff Blogathon: Day Six


Boris Karloff "An Evening With Boris Karloff And His Friends" (1967).

A cool merging of monster talent here; Forrest J. Ackerman
writes a script that Boris Karloff reads with Verne Langdon
& Milt Larsen producing! This LP is a collection of synopses
for the classic Universal films that Karloff figured in so
largely, and mixed in with his narration are sound bites and
musical cues from "Dracula", "Frankenstein", "The Mummy",
"The Bride of Frankenstein", "The Son of Frankenstein", "The
Wolf Man", and "The House of Frankenstein"; all of which must've
blown the collective minds of monster kids dwelling in the
pre-video-on-demand days of 1967. Forrest J. Ackerman's
script (famously written in one sitting) does a nice job of
stitching together all the parts, and while the whole thing
only lasts about 24 minutes it manages to give an appropriately
grand sense of status to the initial Universal horror cycle that
was then still setting the tone for most monster entertainment.

Boris Karloff "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination".





I've had several requests for this one. Seen in many different
versions, this particular LP was from Pickwick International in
1977. The Script is by Sid & Helen Frank. Music by Frank & Judy
Stein. Arranged and produced by Ralph Stein. The sound effects
were done by Myst-A-Rama / Cricketone Chorus And Orchestra.
