Classic Horror movie The Ghoul! A truly excellent old movie, highlighting the talent of both Boris Karloff and Ernest Thesiger who starred opposite each other in Bride of Frankenstein in two very different roles. I also like using Egyptian themes in a horror movie that isn’t mummy based.

21:45 toglie il gioiello dalla scarpa.
I knew this was going to be a good movie when I saw that Geoffrey Boothby was the unit manager.🙄
Best restored 1930s horror I've seen? Funny we are watching this clearer than the people of the time!
"Is he a sheik too?"
"No, a chauffeur. "
Kathleen Harrison, who plays Miss Kaney, lived to the age of 103.
At 48:54 Boris' character rises from his sarcophagus. Almost an hour, but it's worth the wait. The look on his face when he realizes the amulet wasn't wrapped in his hand is one of disbelief and then a silent fury. God help the person who stole it because Boris is coming for you. Phenomenal actor Boris was!
An incomparable restoration. The best for a film of this vintage that I have ever seen. Sound quality is also excellent. Thanks for posting.
Ernest Thesiger! 👍🏻👌🏼
The Arab isn’t an Egyptian (and admits it). The MOORlands are.
Needed a zoomshot of the jewel or whatever it was most of them were all after.
At the start of the film doorway has the number “33” above it.
When I ended up in the town called “Jaca” in northern Spain I spotted that the mountain (anenst the Pyrenees side) lookalikes the Sphinx in shape. The Sphinx sometimes has a Jackals head.
This is absolutely AMAZING! Karloff made this role live
Excellent. Based on true events.
Great movie; lotta dry humor in it as well. Wonderful cast.👍👍
Thank you for the remastered copy!!!
Just a bit convoluted, and the characters can be pretty cliché, but visually it’s remarkable. Obviously the pristine copy that this restoration comes from really was pristine. Too bad more lost films don’t turn up like this
It's a jemmy.
Film at its best when Boris is on screen… Thanks for this 👍🏻
Boris comes home and steals the show with strong support from two future knights Sir Cedric, hardly recognisable and looks younger in Lured 1947, and Sir Ralph legend of stage and screen and the hero not playing a policeman for once Anthony Bushell. There is even a small role for Ma Huggett Kathleen Harrison.
Many thanks for putting this on, it is an absolute pleasure to watch this once considered lost film in an pristine print and not a very dark hard to see and garbled sound version.Thank you!
This is a truly awesome print well done great job 💯
I was in the mood for an old horror classic on this Friday night/THANKS.
BK is one of the GOATs.
If he took off the club boot he wouldn’t have a limp! Each leg would be the same length!
Boris Karloff was an incomparable actor. His talent was criminally underrated.

>Luv it !!!!
You did an amazing job with this movie! It was a hoot watching it. I think it'll be a favorite for years to come. 🙂
How did he come back from the dead without the jewel
Thank you for offering this restored copy. It's the first watchable version I have seen.
Classic
I agree with others about the marvelous visual quality of The Ghoul.
The audio quality, however, could be improved — specifically increasing the volume. It is too low.
That quibble aside, thank you for this otherwise superb presentation!
Arguably a better crafted film than any american Karloff effort, and a young Ralph Richardson to boot!
for 1933 great quality film well done 👍👍👍
Brilliant reproduction, and a "Good Old" classic, thank you.
Thanks so much for the superb remastering of all these old movies & sharing them here. It's great to be able to see these classics in such pristine condition.

"I don't have to!"
