Halloween with Lorre at Indiana Library

Spend Halloween night with Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff when the Bartholomew County Public Library, located in Columbus, Indiana, offers a free showing of the spooky comedy The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942) on Thursday, October 31, 2019.

The movie begins at 6 pm in the Red Room.

Admission is free for everyone.

The Bartholomew County Public Library is located at 536 5th Street, between Franklin Street and Lafayette Avenue, in downtown Columbus, Indiana.

Parking is available in the lot beside the library. Enter the parking lot from either Franklin Street or 7th Street.

For more information, please contact the library at 812-379-1255.

Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff worked together in a total of four movies. They began with You’ll Find Out (1940), another horror-comedy in which they were joined by Bela Lugosi. After The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942), they did not work together again until the horror-comedies at American International Pictures in the early 1960s, including The Raven (1963) and The Comedy of Terrors (1964).

Although Boris Karloff was known as a serious horror film actor, Peter was not. The movies they made together were more funny than frightening.
