Never cared for the genre, but I was eagerly awaiting this one's premier. That Summer I had met and talked at length with Karloff...chiefly about being physically handicapped (As we both were.) and having a theatre career. He mentioned that he'd recently finished doing the voice work for this.
The kindness and patience this wonderful old player had for a gawky teenage fan boy is one of my fondest memories. My entire career as an actor was the result of that chance encounter.
That man was a mensch!
