Who killed Mr. Boddy?&nbsp; In October, we'll be watching a comedy murder mystery, loosely based on a classic board game.&nbsp; The 1985 movie brings together a fantastic ensemble cast as six strangers are invited to a mansion on a dark and stormy night for unknown purposes, only to discover that their host is dead. Led by the house's butler (Tim Curry), will they discover the murderer before it's too late?&nbsp; We'll talk about the movie's rocky road to production and multiple theatrical endings. (Find the film's title at BedfordNHLibrary.org/library-calendar.Registration is open to all, but is required.&nbsp; Please visit the link or call (603) 472-2300 to sign up.
