Black Sabbath, Die Monster Die & Body Snatcher are tops with me. But Mask Of Fu Manchu gets my vote. "The world's going to change tonight, doctor, I'm glad you'll be able to watch it. And... happy Halloween."

"The Body Snatcher" is a close second... a literate script with something to say. And I love Karloff's taunting portrayal!

May 4 09 4:32 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I decided to go with BODY SNACTCHER. The frankenstein films,Mummy and Black Cat are close behind

Sep 6 11 7:13 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I went with BODY SNATCHER because the question is "best" not "favorite" (DIE, MONSTER, DIE or MASK OF FU would probably get that vote). BODY SNATCHER takes precedence over TARGETS and BRIDE because it's the most "Karloff" of his movies - he's a villain (and a scary, witty one) and he speaks a lot, giving us plenty of that great Karloff voice. If Karloff had actually been in ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, though...

Aug 9 12 9:56 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	On second thought, must reverse my order. Watching the acting duel between Karloff and master thespian Henry Daniell has to be the epitome of enjoyment. No denying that those pros are clearly enjoying their thrust and parry. Absolutely, friend Rick: KARLOFF was the man! Apologies: Somehow messed up my previous now-barren poost. Last Edited By: Mora Aug 9 12 4:35 PM. Edited 1 times.

Devil commands is my favourite mad doctor ,closely followed by The man who changed his mind but on this list it has to be The bride of Frankenstein.
