I don't understand why the monster is often painted green. Yes, I know Pierce selected a pale green make-up for Karloff, but I always read it was so he'd appear a bloodless, pale white on-screen. Since the image they wanted viewer to see was pale, it seems to me showing him as pale white would be more accurate for karloff's monster.
I also have this one. I noticed the Sideshow site doesn't even show this one anymore. It only shows the "Bride of" version. He's posed different & is painted a different (worse) shade of green. He also has a different base. Does anyone know why this is? I think THIS version was the 1st. Should I assume this means this one is worth more & completely unavailable?
Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. I've done another clip on some old cigarette cards of 1930's actors and actresses: Boris Karloff from The Mummy,Gracie Fields, Florence Desmond, Charles Laughton, Laurence Olivier and many more.
Good stuff .. any chance of posting the "An Evening With Boris Karloff" album? I had it years ago & would love to hear it again.

@younghoss
ive always wondered the same thing about the monster.
Sometimes pale fits him,and sometimes green does.
i guess it depends how he looks?
like marry shelly for instance,he's pale.
