the boogie man will get you (1942)

the boogie man will get you (1942)"Something always goes wrong."
Young divorcee Winnie Slade (Jeff Donnell) buys a rundown house from an eccentric professor (Boris Karloff) and tries to convert it into a hotel. Unfortunately the professor is piling up a lot of dead bodies in the basement due to his experiments on travelling salesmen!
Reminiscent of Arsenic and Old Lace, both Lorre and Karloff give it their all, but it doesn't quite match up to the screwball antics of the later picture.
