The Movie: The Body Snatcher (1945)
What Is It?: Boris
Karloff gives his most gleefully macabre performance as a grave robber in
Robert’s Wise’s adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s tale. It's a slow burn, but worth watching for Karloff and a very spooky denouement. Lugosi's underused though.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1887, Boris Karloff’s is born.
