Girls, Join Us This Evening As Svengoolie Presents Boris Karloff In "The Ghoul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                    There has been a lot of excitement in our house, this week, concerning the upcoming showing of this film.  First, it is a rare gem, said to have been lost, so neither David nor myself have seen it.  Baby Gojira and Kerwyn, who watch along with this, have kept asking me just what a ghoul is, and I don't know how to answer that one.  I told them the film should explain anything.



                                                    All I know is that, while Karloff was visiting his family in England during the early Thirties, he was corralled into making this film, which includes pros like Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Ernest Thesiger, (with whom he would work on their most famous collaborative work, 1935's "The Bride Of Frankenstein!") and Ralph Richardson.  So, this has the potential of being horror of a very high grade.



                                                      I can hear some of you asking, "What is the difference between a ghoul and a zombie?  Are there any differences?  Are they all the same?  I don't know, but maybe this film will help to explain.  Or maybe you should watch the 1943 Val Lewton classic, "I Walked With A Zombie."  Bronte lovers especially will appreciate the latter!



                                                       So, you are invited to join us all for this special screening.

                                       Natasha Fatale says, "Tune in tonight, dahlings!!!!!!!!!!!!"



                                                       It should be a ghoulish delight, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Those of us of a Certain Age fondly remember Boris and Natasha.

  2. Victoria,

    Yes those of an age loved Boris and
    Natasha. If she was not PC she certainly
    at least struck me, and still does, as
    sophisticated.
