"Devil's Island" Boris Karloff 1938 Warner Bros. **I.V.

When his brother disappears, Robert Manning pays a visit to the remote country house he was last heard from.

Quiz
He celebrated his 51st birthday during the production of Il figlio di Frankenstein (1939) and said that he had received the best birthday present ever: the birth of his daughter, Sara Karloff. He reportedly rushed from the set of Il figlio di Frankenstein (1939) to the hospital in full makeup and costume as the Frankenstein Monster.

Citazioni
[on whether he resented being typed as a "horror star"] One always hears of actors complaining of being typed - if he's young, he's typed as a juvenile; if he's handsome, he's typed as a leading man. I was lucky. Whereas bootmakers have to spend millions to establish a trademark, I was handed a trademark free of charge. When an actor gets in a position to select his own roles, he's in big trouble, for he never knows what he can do best. I'm sure I'd be damn good as little Lord Fauntleroy, but who would pay ten cents to see it?
