About our episode reissues:
The early episodes of Creature Features on KZbin were merely low-res uploads of our original Northbay TV broadcast feed. With commercial adverts, station IDs, etc. all embedded in the same video. When we re-upload these old episodes, we first remove all of the old adverts, make some color and picture corrections where we can and then put them back up on KZbin in full-resolution 1080p. While we don’t claim them to be “restored”, they are a substantial improvement over the original copy of the episode that was on our channel.

Great movie and Bella Lugosi was a legend. 👍🏻🦇

[@MikeKelly9786]

I love this movie !! The 20s, 30s, and the 40s were the best decades for horror. Especially the Pre Code ones.

[@rodneyadderton1077]

Yes, the old black and white horror movies have something the new ones do not.

[@audreyricci6383]

This is from1940.

[@MikeKelly9786]

@@audreyricci6383 you are correct of course. For some reason I was thinking about the movie The Vampire Bat with Fay Wray.

[@MrBillcale]

pre code!

[@dalekosak7611]

One of the great classics with one of the great actors of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

[@joeyd6702]

Going back to the classics excellent. This is what creature features should be. 💀☠️💀

[@melissastruxness512]

Amen

My dear, I'm not going to suck your blood, I don't want Vivid. DRACK. Thank you for keeping the past alive for all past, present, and future fans. CAMERON.

[@thurayya8905]

Looking forward to bad jokes and tasteless remarks upon a deserving film -- yay!

es una pena que no estén dobladas al español europeo

[@JohnTLyon]

I had shark steak once. It was delicious!!!😋

Please can download hope

[@midnightkitty8172]

I love this movie, especially because it has Bela Lugosi. He played the villain in a lot of other movies and he always nailed it.

[@paulthompson4332]

One thing for sure...when Bela says goodbye, he means, GOODBYE. Bela is my most favorite actor of all time.....a great actor, incredible talent. R.I.P Bela Lugosi

[@Cito-lx7fp]

Geez, 83 years old. A "sequel" was made in 2015. Long time between movies! Looks interesting and should be a fun watch with the CF Chat. Love this channel!

[@idiotsevant71]

I been watching the newer shows and wow they all look different from 5 years ago. Love anything Bela is in and this didn't disappoint. The screaming bat cracked me up. Thanks CF

[@richierich8081]

Il be the first to say it just to get it on the table...You guys are BATTY....get it....batty..bat movie.hahaha..you know bat.. batty..funny huh

[@troyhickman4904]

For some reason, this reminded me of the very elderly ladies in my great-grandma's Bible study group, who wouldn't come over if there was a can of deviled ham in the cupboard. True story.

[@seacampeon8729]

Was it the devilled ham or great grandpa's wandering hands?

[@troyhickman4904]

I think years earlier gramps went to the Great Hog Roast in the Sky... 🐖

[@venitasharon8541]

Sounds like my mother lol

[@sicilianotoronto]

Jesus H. LOL

[@DannyWilliams-ch6xq]

Yes. More recent Generations have been fooled into REALLY fearing the devil. FEAR or Regard, listen to, thinking his ways are either acceptable or some sort of answer, even. But NOT to worry, this final age of the devil's (Lucifer's age of deception) is just about over ... We NEVER did have to take the devil seriously, THE TRUTH is forevermore ensuring that fact. ❤ Ur grandma.

[@Jimm386]

Love that Lugosi was buried with his Dracula cape 🧛‍♂️

[@TinyMaths]

" ..one particularly wonderful aspect of my noble assistant Livingston ........... is just how wonderful he smells..." Livingston's reaction - I almost died😂 And I almost died again when he realizes the 'real' reason for your compliments.... These intros are killing me 😊

[@weezy2185]

I just watched this great movie i loved it .I have never seen it before keep them coming Creature Features.

[@annmariemarino2003]

Is this recent or did Vincent have a bunch of work done to his face? He looks fantastic here!

[@shable1436]

No he has done himself up because of the guest

[@Ukie_Hags_World]

And where's Mr. Livingstone's beard?

[@RichardLlamas_HWY_120]

Hey many thanks the the cast and crew of Creature Features for bring the fun and comfort of enjoying great entertainment at home with loved one! Looking forward to seeing 🎉❤😊 and hopefully meeting Mr. Livingston, Vincent and the adore able Tangella at this years East Bay ComicCon in Concord CA this February 5th 2023!

[@dumoulin11]

LOVE seeing Samantha Mathis!!!!!

[@shable1436]

That devil bat swooping in for the kill sounds like those screaming goats viral vid 😂😂😂

Great episode, cracking movie, great guest, fun banter. Love that you're bringing older eps back each week.

[@TM-ev2tc]

It's nice to have a black & white movie on Creature Features every once in a while. PS. Have you heard of the disease mercritis

[@seacampeon8729]

As if "The Bat" isn't scary enough, they decided to call it "The Devil Bat." Into the way back machine we go for an encore screening of a Creature Features episode so great people still talk about it to this day......I think. 🦇

[@troyhickman4904]

Would you watch a movie called The Angel Bat? (For those times when angels just get too snarky!).

[@daveparrott9530]

Regarding the conversation that they were having at the first break I would like to point out that in German the word for bat translates to flying mouse 🦇

[@robyork7109]

Been a long time since I saw that one thanx / always looking forward to the next one 😉 I'm gen x so got respect for black and white movies we couldn't afford a color tv when I was a kid

[@melissastruxness512]

Same here. We had an old black and white that my Dad and I watched Creature Features on in the Bob Wilkins era every Saturday night. Great memories

[@walterfechter8080]

"Guudbye, Tommy." "Guudbye, Roy." I love that inset artwork with Bela as Dracula with flaming bat wings. That would make for some great artwork on a sickle's gas tank.

[@janetcraft]

Walter: That photo/pose of Bela also appears as a box photo for the AURORA model kits. The actual finished model has his arms raised a bit as if he's ready to cast a spell on you :)

[@walterfechter8080]

@@janetcraft Yep. I remember purchasing all of the original Aurora monster models as a kid. I also bought model kits of Rat Fink and the rest of Ed Roth's monster-in-hot rod models. Godzilla was my favorite monster model. The Creature from The Black Lagoon came in at second. I liked the tuatara lizard and the skeleton arm/hand that came with the Creature kit. I also bought 2 model kits of the Munster Koach and Drag-u-la. I've always wanted to arrive at a big Halloween bash in the Munster Koach. My Romanian grandmother and mother loved Bela (though he was Hungarian). They thought he looked so debonaire -- so suave -- in his tux and cape. I concur! Bela Lugosi will always be my favorite "Count Dracula."

[@janetcraft]

@@walterfechter8080 I bet you had lots of fun with those kits :) I heard that AURORA was a popular model kit manufacturer and they specialized in creating the Universal Monsters of Filmland. There is one I saw called, "The Forgotten Prisoner of ..." (I forgot the name). It's a model of a human skeleton chained up in a dungeon with rats at its feet. That one is scary and original :)!

[@walterfechter8080]

@@janetcraft -- I had that model, as well as the rest of the monster models which Aurora plastics offered. I also assembled model aircraft and sailing ships. I guess I was an amalgam of Mark Petre ("Salems" Lot") and Theodore Cleaver. 🦫

[@dannysunay4386]

This is a classic!!! Well done!

[@encinostalgia]

It might be my favorite Lugosi film (author of "No Sympathy for the Vampire: the Film World of Bela Lugosi."

[@gungagalunga7761]

Movie is as usual 'far-fetched' but Samantha Mathis was lovely! Thank you CF for sharing!

[@janetcraft]

Bella: "I'm a vampire!" Janet: "And I'm an umpire!" (That's all I can think of for now. Looks like I'm gonna have to tune in on Wednesday to brush up on my bat-jokes :) Same Bat-Time! Same Bat-Station! Now THAT works :)!

[@seacampeon8729]

That vampire joke sucks!

[@janetcraft]

@@seacampeon8729 Ha! Ha! That is funny sea :) So original, I must say. Ha! Ha! Ha! Vampire sucks! Ho-ho-ho! I can see you are doing your best to brush up on your vampire bat jokes, I see. Fangs a lot :)!

[@Paradise4-28]

That's why i love Christmas 2 with all the songs and flix
