The Haunted Strangler (Episode 114) - Hot Date with Dan and Vicky
At 73, Boris Karloff was looking for material that would finally give him the chance to show his range as a performer. He knew he couldn't escape his reputation as a reliable box office horror star but he hoped for a role that would allow him to play more than the sympathetic monster. 1958's The Haunted Strangler, written for the actor by friend Jan Read, gave him that opportunity -- partly. Dan and Vicky pay tribute to Karloff and this film, one many consider to be his best. They also give us some of their recently seen including the films Swallow, Red Sun, Vivarium, Mark of the Vampire, Boys in the Band, Enola Holmes and the series Death Comes to Pemberly and Monsterland. The Haunted Strangler is your Hot Date Halloween treat. Enjoy the show and leave us some feedback. Check out our website at www.hotdatepod.com
