Mad Love
1935 • Introduction by Author/Historian Julian David Stone • Directed by the great cinematographer Karl Freund (who also helmed The Mummy), this wild slice of pre-Code horror stars Peter Lorre in his first American leading role—as a deranged surgeon who replaces a pianist’s crushed hands with those of a knife-throwing murderer. With its eerie expressionist lighting and Lorre’s gleefully unsettling performance, this over-the-top tale of obsession, dismemberment, and unhinged love plays today like a ghoulishly entertaining fever dream. It's as creepy as it is campy—and a cult favorite for good reason. • Show begins with music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.HorrorPT1H8M2026-06-07Peter Lorre
