Incredible... some of the things that go into public domain! Amazing... Nice find! It's KARLOFF, guys -- Frankenstein's Monster, the actor of a thousand boogeymen and mad scientists, arguably the greatest actor in the history of thrillers/horror movies and certainly one of the most iconic legends of the horror genre! I won't choose between him OR Bela Lugosi as MY FAVORITE horror actor. I like both men for similar and different reasons. I will say I've always appreciated the dark humor that occasionally came out in Lugosi's performances! He had the best lines in the Frankenstein movies where he appeared as Ygor, the hunchback. The greatest icons in horror? In no particular order -- Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney (both Sr. and Jr.), Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing... Yes, it's biased towards the English-speaking cinema but that's still what most of the world knows.
