Poor Boris Karloff. This year his birthday would’ve fallen on Thanksgiving. Though, I suppose if you were to dig him up and put some bolts through his neck and shoot a few kajillion volts through him and bring him back to life, that overlap might be low on his list of concerns. Even if you didn’t do that, I suppose it still wouldn’t bother him too much right now. It is a concern for me, since I don’t want to shoehorn the celebrations into the Thanksgiving marathon, so I consulted the appropriate legislation (H.R. 5768X, Standard for Celebration of Boris Karloff’s Birthday) and saw that in such cases, it should be celebrated on the following Monday. So, come on by Inventing Situations Monday November 27th at 7 PM eastern, and join us for The Ape and The Terror.
Our more attentive readers might ask why it is I feel these little mockfests are appropriate ways to celebrate artistes’ birthdays while I didn’t feel one was the right way to mark Sid Davis’ death. Good question. I could give you a load of philosophical nonsense here, but the short answer is “because I do”.
