Happy birthday Boris! You'll always be Frankenstein's monster to me, no matter what Legosi thinks (he's just jealous).

Mr. Karloff is an example of an actor who, lacking matinee idol looks, found a niche and made it entirely his own. I admire his work.

Various monsters are the horror genre's tragic figures, of which Frankenstein's monster was a prime example in Mary Shelly's novel. The monster is really the victim of Dr. Frankenstein's hubris, a hopeless outsider destined to roam the world in search of a bridge to others. Karloff thoroughly explored the part.
