Peter Lorre in fine comedic form here in The Boogie Man Will Get You. No sound 'cause I slowed this clip down just a tad, just to indulge in the myriad of expressions and movements that man can do in mere moments.

--

I finally saw this movie - the whole movie, that is, a couple days ago. I love Lorre and Karloff is always Karloff, yet what a weird feeling to this one! I found myself wishing there had been a better plot. I still think this even as I intend to enjoy all the Lorre parts whenever I see it.

As usual, I dug into the biography to see what the deal was.

“The secret of Lorre’s indelible and unforgettable power lay, of course, in absolute innocence,” said [screenwriter] Edwin Blum. “The sweeter he smiled, the softer he spoke, the more dangerous he became. Karloff had this quality in his lisp and sweet gentleness, but Lorre faced the great master off in ‘Boogie.’”

Well, that’s nice! However:

“According to Blum, the studio had envisioned The Boogie Man Will Get You as a ‘goose pimple’ picture. At the premiere, however, audiences laughed rather than trembled.

“‘Boogie’ turned out to be a film of some minor historic meaning,” claimed Blum. "You see, nobody realized it was 'camp,' because no camp existed in those days. Lorre didn’t know it was camp, nor did Karloff. They played it absolutely straight, which is the only way camp can come off—that is, if the camp is in the writing. The reason the camp was in the writing was that I was and still am incapable of writing a straight horror film. Without knowing it, I tend to secretly kid it. There was not a single person in that company who thought they were doing anything other than another horror story. . . . this special brand of film has culminated now in Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein."

Huh.

I don't think two pros such as Lorre and Karloff would have mistaken this rehashing of gags and pratfalls and plot contrivances as serious or straight horror. The biographer seems to agree: "The whole idea is incomprehensible. Karloff and Lorre kidded the story themselves, salvaging an uncertain situation with mock malevolence."

Take that, Blum.

31 Nights of Halloween Horror: day 13

My pick for today was the horror comedy Gatlopp

I rated this 7/10! Very fun, funny movie. Good premise, but I almost wish it had been a liiiiiittle bit longer. I looooove Emmy Raver-Lampman, and she was great in this movie, like she usually is! I definitely recommend this for a watch. Sorry this review is short, I’m suuuuper tired and about to go to bed lol.

Thinking about how this must have felt...

Being able to freely move his body again, to feel some semblance of life after over a century of lying in that grave rotting. Up to this point, he's been so stiff, lumbering around arduously. But this is where he becomes more man than corpse.

And the first thing he does with his newfound life?

He dances with Lisa.

He knows there is a piano inside. He could go in and play it for her, he could finally play music after nearly 200 years without it. But he dances with Lisa.

With his new life, all he wants to do is be with Lisa. To touch her, love her, make her happy. He has all this energy and he gives it all to her. Everything is for her.
