“What knockers!”
Light posting this week as I’m filming some mysterious goings-on Thursday-Friday. But over at Limerwrecks the Halloween countdown continues with a limerick on the last days of Hammer films, a rhyme rhapsodising on Dwight Frye’s performance in FRANKENSTEIN, co-authored with horror host Hilary Barta, and an ode to that most melancholy of monsters, Karloff.
Title from YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, of course, image from LUST FOR A VAMPIRE.

The one on “that most melancholy of monsters” is something special.

Yeah, I liked doing that one. Unusual emotional depth for doggerel!

I, for one, appreciate the digging.

There’s a bittersweet melancholy to Karloff in every performance he ever gave.

Even as the Rev. T Vernon Isopod in Five Star Final.
