Boris Karloff was a 20th century British actor recognized as one of the true icons of horror film, and the actor most closely identified with the general public's perception of the "monster" from the classic Mary Shelley book Frankenstein. He frequently co-starred with other horror icons such as Bela Lugosi in movies like The Black Cat.
