The Vampire Bat (1932) The Vampire Bat

The Vampire Bat ★★½ 1932 A mad scientist and a vampire bat and its supernatural demands set the stage for murders in a small town. Sets and actors borrowed from Universal Studios in this low-budget flick that looks and plays better than it should. Weird and very exploitative for 1932, now seems dated. 69m/B VHS, DVD. Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray, Melvyn Douglas, Dwight Frye, Maude Eburne, George E. Stone; Director: Frank Strayer; Writer: Edward T. Lowe; Writer: Ira Morgan.
