A tribute to Boris Karloff ‘orribly assisted by Bela Lugosi while Peter Lorre, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, and Vincent Price revel in the Great Beyond. Boris and Bela centre stage, Karloff doing the grave dignity, Bela hamming it up with vampire flourish, Lorre looking gleefully unnerved, Price positively revelling in it, Cushing trying to keep some gentlemanly order, and Lee towering over everyone with sepulchral bass gravitas.

In this collection, we honour Boris Karloff — one of horror’s most beloved and unmistakable performers.

The collections kicks up the crypt with the delightful curiosity that is Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi singing “We are Horrible Horrible Men”. Let’s be honest, “Boris & Bela Kicking Up the Crypt” sounds like the lost horror-comedy B-Movie we never knew we needed. But there it is.
