* ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', as the Grinch -- and read by Boris Karloff, too! too! The producers also wanted him to sing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch", but he declined, believing his singing voice wasn't up to par for the song (which was instead performed by Creator/ThurlRavenscroft, though a clerical error left him off the credits, and both men having deep voices led to a long-standing belief that Karloff ''had'' sung it.) (1966) (TV)

Born William Henry Pratt, [[StageNames Boris Karloff]] (23 November 1887 – 2 February 1969) was a much-beloved English character actor who worked in a [[HeAlsoDid variety of genres]] and whose career spanned fifty years (albeit all too often in films that were [[MoneyDearBoy criminal wastes]] of his talents). He is most remembered, however, for his work in {{horror}} films (most particularly the Franchise/UniversalHorror cycles of the 1930s and '40s), in which his distinctively gaunt, heavy-browed appearance and sinister lisping voice were a definite advantage.

In an ironic twist that the actor surely would have appreciated, for more than a decade after his death he continued to entertain readers of the eponymous ''Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery'' comic book from Gold Key/Western Comics as he was depicted introducing each issue, Creator/RodSerling-style, becoming a PosthumousCharacter. His voice has enjoyed a similar afterlife; referenced and parodied so often over the years that, much like that of Creator/PeterLorre, it now exists independent of him. Arguably the most notable examples are the kitch classic song "The Monster Mash" and the iconic, "They're coming to get you Barbara!" from ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968''. With that, and ''How the Grinch Stole Christmas'' airing like clockwork every holiday well into the 21st century, it often comes as a shock to younger people to learn he died over a half-century ago.
