He really should have sticked to telling the show as the host. I thought this was gonna get good but it was pretty awful so don't waste your time. My dad told me that my great-aunt who worked for Boris Karloff said she told him, my dad over & over again, that he (Karloff) hated women. Just hated them. She knew from what he said about them, his wife's and actresses he worked with.
This show's topic is about a gold digger who marries an old man. Karloff is pretty old in this so I thought he was gonna let her have it but he starts by talking to her like he's saying "Hey, pass the salt!". His acting is wooden, mechanical, stifled, contrived, theatrical and like he's doing lines in rehearsal without substance. There's no emotion or thinking to back up his lines, really weird to watch and also a bit Embarrassing. I thought he was saving it and at the climactic scene, he was gonna let her have it, for what she did to his friend. But no. So Karloff hates women, here's one who married his friend for money and what does he does at the end? He's just talks to her like "I'm not passing you the salt and take out the trash yourself." Boring. The only thing good for fan's is at the beginning he acts like Dr. Fraenkenstine (at a table with a dead body he bring's back to life) but that's just a one minute scene. Not worth my time. Who said Keanu Reeves was wooden hasn't seen this guy. It's one of the most ridiculous Karloff acting I've ever seen. He's just bored. Yeah he should of stuck to just do the intro and leave the acting to the pros. 3 stars for the little atmosphere with the crypt scenes. That's it.
