He made a lot of wonderful films. "The Curse of the Cat People", "Day the Earth stood still", "The Haunting", "The Andromeda Strain", "Audrey Rose", and "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"........etc.
RIP.
What's your favorite in his movies? If I choose one, I'll pick "Day the Earth stood still".

My favorite was The Body Snatcher, by far!! It was my favorite Karloff performance. While I liked Frankenstein better, I like to hear Karloff's amazingly haunting voice. The Body Snatcher offers some fantastic Karloff dialogue and touches on some terrific tales of old. Also I find myself thinking, "You'll never get rid of me. never get rid of me. never get rid of me. TODDY!!!", for days after watching The Body Snatcher. What a great film!!!

Without a doubt, "The Haunting," ranks up there as one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
That would be the 1963 version, not the awful 1999 version - ugh!
