One of the most recognisable faces in horror, Boris Karloff (or simply 'KARLOFF', as he was often billed) has been described as "to the horror movie what Fred Astaire was to the musical". Presented here are the six films he made for Columbia Pictures, a collaboration which produced some of Karloff's finest acting roles.
In The Black Room, Karloff takes on a dual role as twin brothers in 19th century Europe. One of the twins inherits the family castle and suddenly the local women start disappearing...
The Man They Could Not Hang, The Man With Nine Lives, Before I Hang, and The Devil Commands form the "Mad Doctor" cycle, a thematically linked series of films where Karloff always plays a doctor whose obsessions inevitably lead them to murder!
And finally, The Boogie Man Will Get You is a delightful parody of the "Mad Doctor" films, starring both Karloff and Peter Lorre.
Eureka Classics is proud to present all six films in their worldwide debut on Blu-ray, this release is also the first time they have been available on home video in the UK

Mad Doctor Madness
This is the definitive set for the series of films produced by Columbia featuring Boris Karloff. The quality of the prints and indeed the extras are simply superb. Owning these titles on DVD for many years I wasn't expecting that much of an upgrade in terms of picture quality - How wrong was I!. Picture presentation is crisp and sharp throughout, no need to use any fancy enhancing tools on your TV, make sure they are turned off for the best experience. Menus are solid and well presented with a host of extra features and audio commentary with well known genre experts. Packaging is good and the booklet provided is well presented and contains a wealth of information on the films and stars. This was a pre-order only and limited edition, so pleased I ordered in advance. One word sums up this set - Brilliant!
