He gains revenge by electrically enlarging bats and sending them out to kill his employers’ family members by instilling in the bats a hatred for a particular perfume he has discovered, which he gets his victims to apply before going outdoors.

    Horrible how the studio denied him to be more successful than being popular. The Director told others that he was a "softie" and would take any low offer given to him.
    Bela was a kind and generous man.

    Before her death years ago in the 1990s my mother was reminescing about her life. She blamed this movie for scaring her so badly (she was 20 yo at the time) that she never wore perfume after seeing it and would freak if she ever saw a bat. Over 50 years later she still remembered the movie, Lugosi's evil character, the perfume and the bats. Thanks for resurrecting this movie!

    Close ups of a fruit bat probably not a good idea if the intent is to be scary! They're very puppy-like. Here they lit it in a way to make it look a little creepy----and apparently gave this one something to chew on so its teeth would show. Didn't quite work. But...sort of an enjoyable old film.

    mais jovem dos quatro filhos de um banqueiro, Béla Lugosi começou a sua carreira nos palcos da Europa em várias peças de William Shakespeare. Mas no entanto tornou-se famoso pelo seu papel de Drácula numa encenação da clássica história de vampiros de Bram Stoker, e teve como especialidade os filmes de horror.
    Béla Lugosi fugiu de casa com 11 anos, abandonou a escola e engajou-se no trabalho de mineração. Na adolescência começou a atuar em pequenas companhias teatrais. O caminho mais comum o guiou do teatro para o cinema mudo húngaro, atuando com o nome artístico de Arisztid Olt. Porém, teve que interromper seu início de atividades no cinema graças à Primeira Guerra Mundial. Há boatos de que ele tenha sido ferido três vezes, assim causando sua futura dependência em morfina para aliviar as dores que o seguiram por sua vida inteira. Há também uma versão que diz que ele conseguiu evitar o serviço se passando por louco.

We do occasionally change the schedule, and currently screening CEST: 10pm, and 4am. But please be mindful there are 24 other timezones in the world, unless we are publishing 4 or more films daily, we cant keep all timezones happy.
