Overview

Beginning just before his debut as Frankenstein’s creation, this documentary compellingly explores the life and legacy of a cinema legend, presenting a perceptive history of the genre he personified. Karloff's films were long derided as hokum and attacked by censors, but his phenomenal popularity and pervasive influence endures, inspiring some of our greatest actors and directors into the 21st Century – among them Guillermo Del Toro, Ron Perlman, Roger Corman, and John Landis, all of whom and many more contribute their personal insights and anecdotes.

Boris Karloff

(Archive Footage)

What they bring to the party

Practical caring, detailed, factual, a planner, sees the downside, notices all the specifics of situations, people-centric uber doer, gets lots done, steady, quiet, methodical, serious, dedicated, deliverer.

Not their forte

More of a behind the scenes type, shy, doesn’t like the limelight, prefers the known, the ‘tried and tested,’ wary of change, sociable but very private, store of knowledge, great memory but not creative.

What they bring to the party

Creating and maintaining harmony, intensely caring, loyal, dutiful, sensitive, empathetic, insightful, future-oriented, optimistic, positive, prefer possibilities to facts, quietly supportive, values-driven.

Not their forte

Shy so not the centre of attention, complex and difficult to know, can want to maintain harmony at all costs, need meaning in tasks, not detailed or a planner, looks forward rather then ‘here and now.’

What they bring to the party

Verbally quick, creative and love intellectual pursuits and challenges, enthusiastic, bring something different, big picture thinker, creates possibilities and opportunities, curious, fun, communicative.

Not their forte

Dislike of facts and tradition, on the lookout for new possibilities, difficult to pin down, not a planner or organised, needs freedom to act their way, lacks attention to detail, competitive, needs ‘the feed.’

Ron Perlman

What they bring to the party

Built to manage, create a plan, marshal the troops and drive for closure, brings clarity and order, strong work ethic, determined, detailed, factual, process-driven, traditional, brings discipline.

Not their forte

New initiatives, they prefer the ‘tried and tested,’ ‘let’s just see’ would irritate them, they need a plan, clear communicator but can be very blunt, competitive, need to control, not creative or ideas driven.
