OVERLOOKED FILM: THE BOOGIE MAN WILL GET YOU (1942)

 In a twist on Arsenic and Old Lace, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre try to create superhuman zombies from hapless traveling salesmen for the war effort.  Their failures are buried in the cellar of an old colonial inn.  Wackiness ensues, with a bizarre cast of characters thrown in to add to the humor.

Former boxer Maxie Rosenbloom, Larry Parks, and (Miss) Jeff Donnell co-star.

A minor horror/comedy that actually entertains.  Worth a look.
