In The Boogie Man Will Get You, mad scientist Boris Karloff sells his colonial house to Winnie, frustrating banker Peter Lorre. But he’s been experimenting on traveling salesmen — whose corpses are in the basement! Then Winnie’s ex-husband shows up …
Dr. Lorenz(Peter Lorre): And if you ever need anything, like medical attention, or fire insurance, or a marriage performed, or a loan, perhaps? I should be delighted to oblige.
Winnie Slade: Doesn’t anybody else do anything in Jinxville?
Dr. Lorenz: Oh, they… they vote once a year.
Bill Leyden: They murdered him! Just like they murdered the other one!
Prof. Nathaniel Billings (Boris Karloff): Please! Please! The word is, “martyrized.”
Winnie Slade: [Referring to Professor Billings] Isn’t he a dear?
Amelia Jones: Even when he was a baby, he never cried – not even when we dropped him.
Dr. Lorenz: [Referring to Bill Leyden] … if the army didn’t need him, I would have commmitted him to the squirrel pen at Idlewild Sanitarium, so help me!
Dr. Lorenz: [Signing the mortgage] “Contractum sanctum putnam,” which means done and dished up!
Maxie, the Powder Puff Salesman: Am I unconscious yet?
Prof. Nathaniel Billings: Amelia! This riffraff, as you call him, is really the salt of the earth! All he needs is to be iodized.
