Plot

In the whimsically eerie tale of "The Boogie Man Will Get You," young divorcee Winnie Slade ventures into the world of real estate, purchasing an antiquated, historic house from the eccentric Professor Billings. She plans to transform this old-world gem into a bustling hotel, while innocently allowing the professor, his daffy housekeeper, and their peculiar neighbors to remain as live-in oddities. Little does she know, the professor's scientific curiosity runs deeper than she could imagine, as he persistently, albeit unsuccessfully, experiments on unsuspecting traveling salesmen, their bodies mysteriously filling the house's dank cellar. The plot thickens when a parade of eccentric characters come on the scene, each more colorful than the last. From Winnie's ex-husband, who is as frantic as he is unpredictable, to an unusual choreographer with a flair for the dramatic, to a punch-drunk traveling salesman and an unpredictable Italian army deserter, each character adds a layer of hilarious complexity to the unfolding events. However, the real twist comes with the entrance of Dr. Lorencz, the town's multi-talented dignitary who serves as the mayor, justice of the peace, notary, sheriff, and even the coroner. When he tries to arrest Professor Billings, he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the professor's bizarre experiments. This encounter sets off a chain of hilarity, suspense, and a dash of horror that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Will the Boogie Man get you? Venture into this eccentric tale to find out.
