November 23 in Goth and Horror History

November 23, 1887 - Boris Karloff - Actor - Born

November 23, 1959 - Dominique Dunne - Actress - Born

Boris Karloff was the penultimate horror actor, starring in dozens of horror films in the early 1900s. He's probably best known for his role as the monster in Frankenstein.

You may remember Dominique Dunne from her role as the older sister in "Poltergeist." She was murdered by her boyfriend in 1982, only a couple of weeks before her birthday.

November 13 in Goth and Horror History

November 13, 1992 - Dracula - Movie - Released

Aah, one of Keanu's worst accents (and acting) ever. But he was still beautiful to look at, as was Winona Ryder. I can't forget Gary Oldman's super cool purple tinted sunglasses, either. The costuming on the film was stupendous and the sets lavish.
