In 1931 Boris Karloff portrayed the Monster in the James Whale directed Universal Horror Movie "Frankenstein," making cinema history and becoming a Movie star and film sensation overnight. Of course, Boris is no longer with us, but his daughter Sara Karloff is carrying the torch, running Karloff Enterprises, and making herself available for this Randomland Conversation

His voice as the grinch is epic.
That was the first time I've heard of Boris Karloff
That’s so cool that his daughter continues to help keep his memory alive.
I met Boris Karloff in the early 60s (I was a kid) he was the nicest man to me and my friends. We could hardly speak because to us HE was Frankenstein LOL.
Boris Karloff’s daughter is so pretty. This sounds rude, but I don’t mean it as such. She is lovely and poised. Thank you Justin for introducing some of us to her.
She is a real lady. Wonderful. I loved her dad and she nailed it. Kids know Frankenstein is the victim and he is very sad. Enjoyed hearing her talk about her dad.
I met Sara at Comic Con back in 2018. She's a doll in every sense of the word! 🥰
Wow! You don’t see an interview like this very often. Sara is delightful. So happy you guys got to interview her! 🥰 I enjoyed this so much!!! It was fun to listen to her & see her darling scene-stealer Bailey. 🐶
Boris would be proud! THANK YOU! ✨🙌✨
Boris Karloff is one of my favorite from the early days of movies! I just had to comment that one of my all time favorite movies of all time is Arsenic & old Lace! Boris Karloff played the role of the psychopathic brother in the play on Broadway! The play was extremely popular and was playing at the same time that the film was in production, so his role was given to Raymond Massey who was terrific, but I would have loved to be able to see Boris Karloff’s interpretation!!! Thank all of you, especially Ms. Karloff, you for this wonderful interview!!
I met her, Lon Cheney Jr, Bela Lugosi Jr at the L.A. Weekend of Horrors back in the early ‘90s. They were lobbying for a Classic Horror series of U.S. postage stamps.
Boris Karloff was a Great Performer. Enjoy all his work. RIP
Boris Karloff is definitely a legend. Wonderful interview!
What a delightful woman! A treasure!
This interview was amazing. Great job on being so prepared and letting her tell the story
My Dad used to tell a story from WWII when he was in Africa and the USO Tour came for shows to the weary servicemen. I believe Boris Karloff did USO tours, but you can ask Sara if she remembers this. My Dad said Boris talked about being "The Monster" and being only 5' 11", the shoes he had to wear were extra tall to make him look scary. I believe they also made him stand on a box for certain shots as was told to me. That was an effort by my Dad to make Boris seem more actor than monster when I was younger. What an incredible interview. Thanks so much.
Great interview. You’re a natural. I like how you didn’t interrupt and allowed her to speak. Fascinating stories. It shows you did your homework. I am a huge classic horror fan so I really enjoyed this interview. Sweet lady. I really hope she benefits financially from the her fathers success and not some one who has no relation to her father. It was funny how she didn’t answer your question about how was it as a kid trouble because of his voice. Im sure there’s more to that story, but she kept it classy
My dad and Boris spent a day flying from Seattle to Alaska. Dad said Boris was a great conversationist.
Excellent interview! I was so happy to see her at Seasons Screamings and hear her tell the story of her dad's involvement with The Grinch 🥰
How wonderful for you to be able to interview the daughter of Boris Karloff. I enjoyed it immensely as I was a big fan of Mr. Karloff and have several of his movies on DVD. She seems to be a lovely person and I could listen to her talk about her father all day lol Incidentally, one of the very first horror movies I saw was Universal's original Frankenstein and fell in love with it, even at such an early age. I think I was 11 or 13 at the time.
Great interview! Nice to have the interviewers be knowledgable, and she is always so kind and gracious.
Super amazing video
Awesome 😎
I see Boris’s statue right behind Sara. My goodness! Sara is the female carbon copy of her beloved father, Boris, because the facial bone structure, eyes, nose and mouth are exactly the same to me. It’s like Boris is watching out for his baby girl. RIP Boris, one of the original kings of the Universal Monsters 😪🙏🏼
Thanks to Boris’s incredible performance as his iconic role, Frankenstein, it’s no wonder why Universal Studios Hollywood’s HHN’s director, John Murdy’s sentimental fave Universal Monster, because he cried out of sadness watching Frankenstein, as a kid. Holy cannoli! Boris won a Grammy! No kidding! 😮
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with us, Justin!
Boris Karloff is one of my all time favorite radio, movies and TV stars. I grew up watching him and since have found a lot of his old radio shows to enjoy along with his movies. Thank you for this great interview.
WONDERFUL 👏 INTERVIEW with Ms Sara Karloff! Wow 🤩-there is so much to admire about Mr. Boris Karloff. Amazing facts, stories and information shared here! Great job Justin and Tyler.
That was fantastic! He was very multi talented. Thank you for including the grinch. I did not know that
I thought it was a great interview, would have had no idea about the glitches. What a lovely woman, she reminds me very much of the beautiful Elizabeth Taylor.
Justin & Tyler, you guys did a great job with your interview, like old pro's! Gonna see how to watch the full interview!!!
Question, how is our good friend Bob Gurr doing? Always thinking of him, keeping him close to heart!!!
He made a brief appearance in Justin's Season Screamimgs video if you haven't had a chance to check that out yet. And he looked amazing as always. I agree. Bob is super awesome. I hope Justin does a follow interview with him soon.
This is awesome! I am a big fan of Boris Karloff and have practically seen everything on CZcams about him. Thanks for this new insightful and entertaining interview!
Sara Karloff is Delightful and even more Fantastic in person. Thank you, Sara, for all that you do.
Wow! What a lady! Super glad you captured some of her story! Bravo
Wow. Fantastic job! Bravo, Justin & Fake Tyler...that was just perfect!
Justin I've watched your vlogs for 10 years this is your best work !
This was great! Well done, everyone.
Watching this interview inspired me. I’ve been struggling with getting into filmmaking myself. I gave up at one point. When you mentioned that Karloff was 44 when he got his big break, it got me to realize that it’s not too late for me as well and I’m 30.
What’s a great interview. She is a legend because of her famous father, Vincent Price…lol. Loved Boris Karloff…..he really scared me as a kid….I attribute most of my nightmares to him.
I appreciate all the hard work that went into making this video, despite all the struggles you had to make it, I thought you guys did an amazing job, I enjoyed this interview and learned a lot about Boris , you done your duty Justin 👍🏻 🥳🎉
An Awesome Video Justin
I appreciate this interview thanks.Also would like to say that smile on your wife's face eminates such joy and happiness.Thanks for that.
This is wonderful! So happy you got to do this and thank you kindly for sharing this with us! :)
Great Interview Justin.
Excellent interview! This was such a delight to watch
You are cool 😎
It’s so awesome that you got to do this!!! I just watched the movie about Boris called “The Man Behind The Monster” a few months ago and loved the bits with Sara!
That was Amazing!!! I can’t believe you both got to sit down with Sara Karloff. She seems so nice … just like her Dad .
And thank You for sharing your video. I didn’t know she did congratulations. I hope I can make it to one them .
And thanks again for sharing your video 👍👍
Well done Justin!
what an amazing opportunity to do this epic interview and to meet and talk to one of the icons daughters... i love Boris esp as Frankenstein but he was awesome in any horror movie part
Absolutely lovely, graceful, classy lady.
Just great guys. What an oppertunity. Thanks for sharing.
Its true its never too late I'm 36 and I finally achieved 2 of my life long dreams I have always wanted to be a preformer and be in a Rocky Horror Shadow Cast. I joined up with a Sh Cast this past Summer and I got to play Eddie at our show back on December 2.
Great job y'all‼️ You're killing it this week Justin - between this and the knotts blacksmith, i learned sooooooo much💯💯💯
this was Awesome 👍👍 Loved it 😀
That was a great interview Justin(hey Tyler!) she is such a nice lady😀.
I didn't know much of her dad's early struggle to find work for almost 20 years, wow!
This is amazing!
that bust of Mr. Karloff though… wow…
ikr! i saw it too, cant imagine myself trying to watch one of his classic movies, with that staring laser beams into the back of my head, ahah whomever sculpted it did an amaze balls job!
💛🚬
How funny. I just saw your conversation with Miss Karloff and in 8 minutes Mr. Karloffs Grinch will be on
That's awesome.
Very interesting interview. I remember back in the 90's Sarah was always at the Chiller Theatre convention in NJ.
She's delightful
💛🙋
Great lady,really enjoyed this
The Old Dark House... became my favorite movie of all time. Boris Karloff 1st then Vincent Price for horror films and then Oliver Hardy & Stan Laurel, while James Stewart also deserves mention.
This was so amazing. There are a few things I knew but several others I didn't.
what a great video. thanks for sharing this
I ama big fan of the Mr. Wong movies, in addition to his work in the horror genre.
Hi Justin she amazing person
Epic
I love to watch Frankenstein and bride of Frankenstein sooooo much. My kids are always like what r u watching it's old 😂
As many scary moments in horror history that scene in Frankenstein where he backs in the room & slowly turns around is still the best these is . Sarah has been a real trooper doing all these things & for a long time & it shows in her demeanor she really loved her dad . Sad thing is this interview could go on for at least another hour & i would love to hear what Boris felt about doing the role of the evil Fu Man Chu which he played with great fun & cruelty, also his role in The Body Snatchers was top level from start to the horrifying end. He was the the best & as good as Lon Chaney was he was as close to his equal as it got. Gotta see if i can get a bag of that DARK COFFEE , i could almost smell & taste it !!!
BEST interview! great job
Karloff was A True Master. Playing The Monster. Pete Siny
Awesome
Just bought some of the coffee for Christmas gifts. Fun. Great video.
Sara has her father's eyes.
I Love this
2:25-3:14 Sara is maybe just a little off date wise on just one thing here, Dwight Frye died back in 1943, She may be thinking about Dwight Frye's son who has been very active in promoting his late father's legacy.
My God Sara Karloff is so Pretty ! Wow !
wow she was very nice ..I must add one of my fave halloween musts (or any time) is MAD MONSTER PARTY
There's definitely a resemblance between Sara and her father. There's no doubt she's his daughter. But Bela Lugosi, Jr. looks almost like a clone of his dad. 😃
I’m interested in the fact that he was married so many times, and most only lasted 2-3 years.
People talk about female actresses’ multiple marriages, i .e., Elizabeth Taylor, but no one mentions male actors’ multiple marriages. Claude Rains was married six times, too.
I know it’s a personal topic, but I’m curious..
THE FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER!?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She looks just like Boris
cool
She sure looks like her dad.
she seems like a nice woman and some cool behind the scenes stories, i just dont understand obsession about her autograph, products yes ,
I still think Bela Lugosi is better.
I prefer Karloff, but both were very good at what they did.
Sara Karloff Seems such a sweetheart
💛
