Robert Wise,

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!!!

Robert Wise....What's your favorite in his movies?

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!
