Name the top classic horror actors and Peter Lorre must be included in that list. Those eyes, that voice. Standing still he looked sinister. Here's the pressbook for The Beast with Five Fingers. Don't miss his Stranger on the Third Floor (1940). I always get a chuckle out of the theater lobby promotions that included first aid stations, with fake nurses standing by to either give you a stress test or call the ambulance afterwards. I'm not so sure we've gone beyond the ballyhoo hokum; maybe just moved it online instead. Would be fun, though, to have a nicely old theater do the full monte for a midnight horror show, complete with fake nurses. One interesting tidbit, if true: Singing Waiters Group Honor Former Associate: Rober Alda "was once the youngest singing waiter in America...at the Old Barn in Brownsville, Brooklyn."
