SOMETHING HAS CHANGED… CAN YOU SPOT IT?

We recently showed you our MISERY window at the Towle — but since then, we’ve added ONE new item to the display.

Think you can figure out what it is?

There’s only one catch: you have to come see the window in person!

Stop by the Towle Theater in Downtown Hammond
Take a good look at our Misery window
Call the Towle and tell us what you think we added!

Everyone who correctly identifies the new item will be entered into a drawing to win TWO TICKETS TO MISERY!

And no, we’re not posting a new picture of the window. Nice try.

Get sleuthing — Annie Wilkes is watching.
