The Boogie Man Will Get You is a 1942 comedy horror film, directed by Lew Landers and starring Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre. One of six pictures Karloff made with Columbia. he filmed it in the wake of his success in the stage version of Arsenic and Old Lace. Willful Winnie Slade (Jeff Donnell) purchases the home of kindly Prof. Billings (Boris Karloff) with a view to turning it into a hotel, not knowing that the scientist has been working in the basement to create a race of superbeings to help the war effort and intends to use prospective guests in his experiments--unfortunately so, given that his work has seemingly killed a number of test subjects already. Peter Lorre plays the town mayor/sheriff/hair tonic salesman Dr. Lorentz, who becomes involved in the professor's work when he sees the potential for profit, while Larry Parks is Winnie's long-suffering love interest, Bill. LESS
