    I’m 74 years old, have been watching the B/W classics all my life - I can’t believe I’ve never seen this most exquisite movie!!! So glad I “stumbled-upon” The Vampire Bat!
    What an excellent movie!
    Thank you so much for posting this!!

      It is good to know that you have been watching B/W movies for so long. This gives me hope that there are enough movies from yesteryear to last my lifetime too particularly if I include colour and other than horror genres up to about 1980's because these days movies are no longer proper movies in my opinion.

      It's a bit funny you hadn't, because this has Dwight Frye in it, who was Renfield in Dracula and Fritz in Frankenstein. He's Herman in this one. Then again, this film went to Public Domain some time ago, since I have it in one of those 50 Movie Pack DVD sets. It probably doesn't get as much fanfare.

      @leelarson107 Рік тому

      Movies today aren't as creepy, but real life in our cities most definitely ARE. Rather than vampire bats, we have 'peaceful protests' burning our cities, 'woke' thought pervading our classrooms and military, and 'political correctness' teaching that all of that, the lies and destruction, are good for us.

  • @leelarson107

    4 in the morning and I'm enjoying a fine vampire movie thanks to CCC!
    The neatest thing for me is the B/W film is so nice in a dark room but in a scene where villagers are hoisting torches in a cave the flames were colorized. Great effect!
    I'm not a fan of colorized movies but this small use is interesting. Thanks again CCC.

  • @murtazaarif6507
    @murtazaarif6507 Рік тому +4

    This film has an intelligent way of fusing superstition with high intelligent characters that seek scientific proof in a Victorian society. This is achieved by giving a weak attribute to seemingly intelligent looking and sounding characters based on the way they think and behave in dealing with the presence of the destructive entity in the village. This is particularly observed in the detective with a light humour and informality he cannot shake off. With this approach the story delves deeper into the supernatural force helped also by the mid dark lighting turned darker particularly in scenes of gas lit lamps on streets at night typical of Victorian London.

    George E Stone and a young Melvin Douglas - what a fine voice Lionel had - and at just over an hour - it does not waste a second
