I think I was born in the wrong era. My grandparents got me hooked on movies from this time. I'm having such a good time binge watching on KZbin

[@fqrez239]

I know what you mean by feeling like your living in a different era, all of my relatives and friends questions me how/why I got into these kind of classic movies as a teen especially when I’m in my mid 20’s now lol

The movies now are really bad, i understand what you mean.

These old movies are the best compared to the garbage they make nowadays. Always be a fan!

[@ironblue5958]

I love this film. I think Bela Lugosi is marvelous.

[@mikebacchus5421]

I love old Black and white. Well written.

[@MrYorickJenkins]

"Experimenting on bats"; that resonates in a very sinister way during the corona epidemic.

[@gregorszurnicki41]

This era of black n white (non technological) your true worth was the acting. 79 plus years. No award can achieve their brilliance 🤗😘

[@duantorruellas716]

The one and only Bella Lugosi .

[@bhoward9378]

This movie is so convoluted no one could make it up. Yet someone did. Thanks!

[@rhondae8222]

Thanks for sharing this great movie. Bela Lugosi is great!

[@frankowalker4662]

Another Bela classic! I am loving all the old horror flicks. Thank you so much for preserving these gems of the silver screen!!! :)

[@beckyyule1228]

Only five minutes in and he's already electrifying bats... This is gonna be an interesting one

[@eliotmccann2589]

This contains one of my favourite horror tropes: Well meaning but doomed youth- "Goodnight doctor" Lugosi- "...Good bye, Roy..."

[@davidfaas58777]

The Devil Bat 1940 Is a Horror Classic Starring Bela Lugosi 1882-1956

[@LastUnicorn52]

never saw this before , great movie.. thanks Pizza

[@RichardDominguezTheMagicIsReal]

Great movie, Bela Lugosi (nothing else needs to be said), great plot, being able to kill and not being anywhere near the crime, thanks for the upload

[@tonyjohndonovan93donovan31]

1 00ff they best

[@kimkauffung7687]

Footnote: No Devil Bats were harmed during the filming of this motion picture. Additionally, after shave sales plummeted after the release of this movie. Lol

[@IAmJimRetzer]

This is the best-looking print of this film I've found so far. BRAVO for sharing it!

[@Msfisherqueen1]

Love Bela Lugosi - great actor.

[@walterfechter8080]

Bela Lugosi is my copilot

[@stanthology]

At 1:31 the opening statement describes "doctors gone wild", pertinent nowadays , as well as the fears existing in 1940.

[@marclayne9261]

I grew up on these films in 1950s...i have this film on dvd......

[@leavingitblank9363]

The crow-like squawking was funny enough, but when it let out the long shriek during its dive bomb, it fully made me lol. (And I love how the guy with the thick Eastern European accent has a nice Scottish name.)

[@1000mindy]

It would be so cool to have secret rooms. Thanks for the upload.

[@jackiemarini3203]

Yes it would awesome 👍👍💯

[@JaneFrieman]

"BATS" an entertaining horror flick starring Bela Lagosi.

[@1251ews]

Another great PizzaFlix movie.

[@janegrantz2723]

Just in case anybody out there doesn't know this. The leading lady here is the same one who played the dancer on trial (Gale Tempest) in that funny Three Stooges short.

[@quester09]

Jane Grantz ah yes, "Disorder in the Court" 😂

[@dannyc.jewell8788]

@@quester09 The name you are looking for is Suzanne Kaaren listed in the credits ,born 1912 pasted at 92 ,I enjoyed the research , she did a lot of interesting things

[@gregorywellssr7857]

Really? The jiggly-boobed dancer? Cool!

[@bubby2325]

Enjoyable yarn: saw it for the first time in 1986, I believe, and 3 or 4 more times after. The photographer is a good comic!

[@dadahyena]

Insufferable comic relief aside this is still a fine horror classic, and gives us exactly what we want: Bela Lugosi and fakey-but-fun monsters!

[@markrubin9449]

I always liked this movie. It deserves a remake with Leo Gorcey as Dr. Carruthers.

[@denisemadigan1038]

Nice one!

[@Ourladyrules]

bela was a master 🦇

[@jesuisgerardo]

For a microsecond there I read "gigantic balls", and honestly, I'd also watch that one

[@bobbyejr]

What if the pearson he wants to kill doesn't like the smell of the lotion or wears a beard and doesn't shave. Oh well back to the drawing board.

[@peterthayer6238]

But those he wanted to kill were interested in his scent creations. Also none had beards and I doubt a beard would have deterred a devil bar enraged by the secnt

[@stewartsanders315]

If it says bela lugosi you watch it 👍

[@deniselewis2982]

SO did mine ! 😊

[@ronaldstrange8981]

Surprisingly, Bela died penniless but Frank Sinatra pain for his funeral. England, November, 2023.

[@paulhelman2376]

i mixed my own after shave which I lable "Devil Bat" Put it on the tender areas of the neck of course.

[@jacobjones-4811]

Pretty laughable flick. Wish Abbott & Costello had been in it, It would've been Perfect.😄

[@norternredneck]

Not one of his best movies but ok

PRODUCERS OF THIS DUD MUST HAVE BEEN "" TOTALLY BATTY ""

[@Caddy47273]

Hum jerma985 real voice ?

[@RavelloBikes]

No disrespect to Mr Lugosi, but the props in this movie were terrible. The scenes where he is talking to the bat looks like he is talking to a rug . The only time the bat looks real is when they insert close ups of a real bat. Also the parts where the bat is flying - totally unrealistic. Really dreadful.

[@msbrowngault]

Alan Baldwin 😳?

[@gregorszurnicki41]

MsG. I thought the same thing 🤦‍♂️
