CRYPTORIUM is proud to interview Sara Karloff,..... Sara Karloff,daughter of horror film legend Boris Karloff,whose films include Frankenstein,Bride of Frankenstein,The Mummy,and our favorite "The Old Dark House",amonst dozens of others,was kind enough to answer a few questions with CRYPTORIUM editor Chris Newman.... |

CRYPTORIUM /Chris Newman-Sara it is quite an honor,how was your holidays? SARA KARLOFF-Our holidays were quite delightful and hectic at the same time.We had family here and then left for two weeks in the Antartic on a National Geographic Icebreaker ship expedition which was glorious.We just returned home and I am still buried in dirty laundry and paperwork. |

CN-I was talking with a friend/former US serviceman,Kenneth Olsen,who was on holiday in England,and found himself at "Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem Pub"in Nottigham,and recalled a picture of your fathers there.
KARLOFF-That certainly is an "off the wall" question.The only connection I can think of is that a close friend of my father's,Bernie Coleman,owned a series of pubs and my father loved to help open them.That might explain the photo there.Also my father was a huge cricket fan and went to every match he could,and did so with Bernie often,and that could also explain the photo if the pub was frequented by cricketers. |
 |
CN-In "Gods and Monsters" actor Jack Betts gave a chilling cameo billed as "Elder Karloff",what did you think? KARLOFF-I thoroughly enjoyed Gods and Monsters and thought a tribute to James Whale was long overdue.I felt that the portrayal of my father was really well done. |
|
|
CN-According to an interview I read with Carroll Borland,in response to the Tim Burton film "Ed Wood",Boris and Bela were perfectly good friends? KARLOFF-As far as I know my father and Bela had a professional respect for each other and worked together on 7 films.Each had his own personal interests off screen,one being English,and the other Hungarian,but any rivalry wa a media hype far more than a reality.I personally attribute the words that came out of Bela's mouth in "Ed Wood" to Tim Burton and the writer's rather than Bela.I never met Bela SR,but Bela Jr. is a friend of mine and a gentleman through and through. |
 |
CN-Of the actors that tried to fill the shoes,no pun intended,of the Frankenstein monster,Chaney,Lugosi...how do you feel about the Glenn Strange portrayal? KARLOFF-I never have seen any of the Frankenstein films other than the 3 originals and of course Young Frankenstein,so I can't comment on any of the other actor's performances.I must admit,these are very good questions by the way. |

CN-Thank you...Four words.....Deniro as The Monster? KARLOFF-I always enjoy Robert Deniro in any role,and I think his Frankenstein is exceptional for the way it followed Mary Shelley's book. |

CN-Sara it truly has been an honor,and thank you...If I may,2 in 1...Scariest movie???and...The Misfits??? KARLOFF-The Wizard of OZ,and The Misfits are great favorites of my grandchildren,Thank you Chris. |
