As far as "Karloff" DVD collections go, I would say that "Icons of Horror" slightly outdoes Universal's "Franchise Collection." All of the four films offered here I had never seen, so I'm not sure what--if any--expectations I had going in, but all four movies I would say were all solid. Of course, the movie that intrigued me the most--and the one I ended up enjoying the most--was the Boris Karloff/Peter Lorre collaboration "The Boogie Man Will Get You." And judging by most of the reviews I've seen for "Boogie Man," opinions about it seem to range all over the map--from horrible to those who thinks it's comedic brilliance. Count me as one of the latter, as Boris seems to be having a lot of fun sending up his own "mad doctor" image & Lorre is a lot of fun as well, playing a multitude of titles as the town sheriff/coroner/justice of the peace/mayor, and probably a few other titles I'm forgetting. "The Black Room" was the 2nd best feature of the collection, with Boris doing an excellent "double role" as twin brothers--one nefarious and the younger brother more altruistic. In between those films are what are commonly referred to as Boris' "Mad Doctor" vehicles--"The Man They Could Not Hang" and "Before I Hang." Two good programmers that are worth the hours spent watching them. Overall, this ranks as a very solid set for one of the all-time greats of classic horror/suspense--Mr. Boris Karloff....Read full review

I ordered Boris Karloff classic horror DVD because I like to be scared each night during October I watch a different horror movie. Boris Karloff is especially good in any of his horror movies from the 30's!, Linda
One of my favorite actor. It was pleasing to find the movies I liked to add to my collection and to find them at such a reasonable price. Not to mention the excellent customer service I experience.
Good
