Much like Bela Lugosi and Dracula, so Boris Karloff is forever remembered for the role of Frankenstein. Unlike Lugosi, Karloff was able to put the character behind him and find success with other roles, most notably Imhotep in The Mummy. The three films in this collection further explore his talent, with Doomed To Die, The Ape and The Fatal Hour. The first and last of these titles feature Karloff as James Lee Wong, a Chinese detective Karloff would play in five films. The Ape sees Karloff as a mad scientist trying to cure a woman of polio.
