- Stars: Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, Gavin Gordon
Director/Writer: Crane Wilbur
In a creaky haunted house with a hidden fortune of stolen money, bodies pile up as a mysterious prowler known as "the Bat" tries to uncover the loot!
This movie has it all.
A haunted house, trap doors, secret walls, a fire, many murders, lost money, bank heist, a creature on the loose half man half animal a.k.a. The Bat, troublesome phone, people coming in and out with the most outstanding characters Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead and continuous suspense.
A fun thriller!
Agree with you my friend 🥰🥰🥰

I agree. Lenita Lane was also great as Lizzie Allen. The Bat is an all time classic movie with an all time great cast.
Agnes Moorehead was 59 years old in this role and still a beautiful woman. And what a career; she enjoyed some truly iconic roles. Such a star!
Your right, total star! And very attractive.
Agnes Moorehead had it all as an actress.... She had class, style, and old world manners... She coincidentally is buried in one of the most unusual places.... She is buried in Dayton Ohio which was an ancestral center for her... She also had a masters degree in English and public speaking, She had the opportunity to work with Orson Wells as well as well known fellow actor Joseph Cotton and let us also remember that famous actor Vincent Price. (the master of the macabre).... Rest In Peace Mrs Moorehead.... the world misses you....
There is nothing better than these old classics.
What a team: Vincent Price the one and only, and the goddess of Radio, Agnes Moorhead. Terrific film from a great era. Thanks!
Now I am wondering what it would have been like if the bat met his match in the shadow.
I’m very thrilled, honest…. It’s nice seeing good movies and younger versions of the film stars I knew growing up.
Last film I saw in theater was Vanilla Sky. Seven dollar tickets for me and the wife to be… 4 dollar pop corn and 3 dollar sodas. Almost 30 bucks for yet another over hyped movie?!
Last film I likely enjoyed at the theater was Karate Kid. Enjoyed the movie… following 5 weeks at 9pm and 11 we’d park near the theater and watch everyone karate fight for free.
Pretty much what my friends and I did when we saw it. Fantastic!
Oh yeah! Watching the girls giggle and roll their eyes…. Can’t remember anything as funny and predictable after a movie.
An enjoyable thriller with a twist. I see Vincent Price in my recommended and it’s an easy choice. Agnes Moorehead was good too.
Agnes Moorhead was a treasure! What a great actress she was! A real nice Sunday night movie! Thank you!
As long as I see Vincent Price, I am watching the movie. No modern actors are like the actors of the old days. I am in my 20s and I would watch a black & white movie anyday over the modern movies 💕😍
It's too bad movies can't be this good anymore.
When was the last time you were in the movie theater? You're kind of trash is what's ruining the business
You can't miss that voice of Agnes Morehead! Love her acting.
Price and Moorehead in the same flick. Total class. 👍 🔫 🎥 🕵
What a fun little flick! Perfect for a stormy night. Really enjoyed!
Saving this in favorites for Halloween night 2021! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
@@jeansenn2831 Me, too!
@@jeansenn2831 I must say you've made a good choice, it's been on my phone for a long time I've got half an hour left, I've always liked Vincent Price I've never seen this , I can tell you now if you haven't seen it, you won't be let down,💰 & waiting 🤔till that dark&👀 spooky ☠️🪓🙄🙈night 🌛🪔is brilliant 🤗
Or a relaxing Sunday afternoon.....
I know great cast,Agnes is such the awesome character actor she was really awesome on Bewitched, I believe I'm gonna watch it again 😀😀
Vincent Price's acting abilities are truly priceless!
Just like our so-called leaders, their acting is truly priceless.
You could earn a degree in English, just listening to him speak!
Just like parasitic politicians.
I see what you did there ... nice.
He is so underrated!!! That’s a crime. Lol. I love him in everything he is in. Especially Laura.
Vincent Price, could listen to him speak all day. Agnes Moorehead, a sublime actress. I suspect she was under rated.
Besides being a brilliant actress who carried herself with class & dignity, Moorehead had the greatest single resumé credit of all time: "I was in Citizen Kane".
@Jimmy L Needham I stated that she was sublime, should I redact that statement?
Agnes e a quente...e Price e o cara!!!
@@jupiterlegrand4817 I've got half an hour left this is a great movie, I believe everything you said, & she is the only Agnes that I have seen or known with that name that was attractive, you may know do you think that was her hair even though Long braid, and yes I agree her and price are brilliant, priceless, definitely the true meaning of Stars.
@@bigm383 I understood what you were saying, you're probably right.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MAIN CHARACTER ❤ Mrs Corny is literally my favorite person
The house on haunted hill is another great Vincent Price movie 🎥
With a good twist.
The Last man on Earth is the best Vincent Price movie
That’s my favorite - Price was priceless
Yep just watched earlier today. Also Shock
What a brilliant film! 😁
One of my favorites of all time ❤❤❤
A really great movie! I met Vincent Price once...A very nice man, He acts and sound just like he does in his movies
This was a good movie. definitely recommended
Excellent movie, and clever plot. Agnes Morehead was sublime, as was Vincent Price and the others. What a pleasant surprise to see little Darla of "The Little Rascals" fame as an adult.
She was in The Bohemian Girl with Laurel and Hardy. The Bohemian Girl was the best operetta that Stan and Ollie made!
What a treat. I could watch Vincent Price all night. 🌹
What a clean copy. A pleasure to watch.
Wonderful dance music for the intro. Love her voice, Agnes Moorehead.
What a Gem of an Suspense thriller🎥. Moorhead and Price with a supporting cast make this a enjoyable treat! Keeps you on your toes till the end. I love black and white films!!!
LOVE ALL VINCENT PRICES'S MOVIES HE WAS THE BEST ACTOR FOR ALL SC/FI MOVIES...GREAT MOVIES
Oh, that style of the 50's!!! Priceless!!!!
This is one ofmy favorite movies❤
Vincent Price at his best. Thanks for uploading this movie.
I love how people shrug murders off in these old movies. Good stuff lol
What a great film this was, great acting by everyone. You can't beat these classics.
One of Agnes Mooreheads great performances!
We lost her too soon... 😥
This is a fun thriller with the talented and enigmatic Vincent Price. Great movie!
Vincent and Agnes. 2 legends in the same film. A pretty good one for the time.
I saw this as a kid . The Bat scared the hell out of me .
Agnes Moorehead was spectacular, I thought she was so lovely & exotic looking when she was younger & I loved her as Endora & thought she was lovely still.
J is Scoobysmom Remember her in that incredible episode of the Twilight Zone? Outstanding!
The only TZ episode with no dialogue i think interesting episode
And that character, what a refreshing break from the usual 'stand there, look pretty and scream' female characters of the time!
Agnes Moorhead is always hot and has a rocking body. If you saw her in a bikini you would drool. Scratching her long nails on your back with sun tan lotion on the sand. Erecting your beach umbrella.
Vincent Price, mmmmmm x
Thanks for uploading this movie. It was very entertaining with Vincent Price.
“Goodnight, Andy. Don’t get hurt.” I love it when Vincent Price says that in his smooth, sexy voice. 49:39
Always loved Agnes Moorehead, first saw her in Citizen Kane. Price is wonderful, whatever he does.
Loved him in The House of Wax, House on Haunted Hill, Diary of a Madman, so many more!
That little bat 🦇 was the star of the show! Bravo!👏🙌💙
Vincent Price : A man for all seasons ! R I P
Nah, that was Paul Scofield. : p
This movie had more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at. The person that was the least likely suspect turned out to be the Bat. Was sure caught off guard. This movie is a real classic.
I agree. I was so surprised by how clever this film is.
@@katherynemero4118 I love Vincent price hes the best
Brilliant movie, Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead were excellent as always.
I love watching Vincent Price and peter laury. The movie where they had the wine contest together is my favorite movie with them both in it. I always love to watch that movie with a glass of wine in my hand. It is so relaxing to me and that movie is got a lot of funny moments in it to.
Tales of terror!!! Also together in comedy of terrors
lorre gulps down a pint of wine in one go! a horrified price says but you are supposed to sip it swill it round you mouth taste the favour and spit it out.lorre replies lissen you do it your way ill do it mine!
@@mikekemp9877 I love that part. Also side note when Charles Manson was alive and planning on murdering a few celebrities. He was going to murder Peter Lorrie's Daughter but when he found out who she was he decided not to murder her just because of who her father was. So they did not murder her.
@@mr.garlicman3134 thats odd because one of lorres daughters was nearly killed by the night strangler richard ramirez when he went solo after parting with his cousin.she was called by him as she advertised for a house sitter but apolice car outside put him off! He then went to the pacific northwest where he used the same ruse killed the girls and got caught.
I love this movie!! Comedy, scary stuff and Vincent price! Who could ask for more!!😁😀❤❤
There will never be another like him!
Love this movie!! Can watch it over and over!! Great acting!!💙💚🇺🇸✌🙏
Great horror movie. Love Agnes Morehead. She had a Ph.D in English. Also first time I saw Darla Hood(Little Rascals) as an adult in a movie. Agnes Moorehead's greatest appearance however was on the masterpiece, ingenious Twilight Zone episode "The Invaders" which was 99% silent except her grunts and the fantastic ending with approx. 30 seconds of talk(not hers).
No, Agnes Moorehead's greatest performance was on radio..."wrong number".
@@stephenperretti8847: I'm old but not that old from the radio era of the 1930s and 1940s. So I can't attest to your opinion. However I disagree since her Twilight Zone acting was superb as well as that episode probably I'd say in top 5 episodes of TZ along with the outstanding Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up with the great but unknown John Hoyt!!!
@@roberttelarket4934 Yeah... that episode was great.
@@johnc2438: This morning Monday 9/20/21 on SyFy channel as every Monday and only Monday beginning at 4 AM till 6:30 AM they show the Twilight Zone-they had The Invaders(1962) with Agnes Morehead - completely silent except her grunts until the last minute when a small astronaut Earthling starts talking.
I've seen all the episodes since about 1964 when I was 16 at least 500 times but this morning I heard something I missed all these almost 55 years: the Earth astronaut frantically speaks to Earth that the other astronaut Grisham is dead(Agnes Morehead killed him and is destroying the spaceship with an ax). Unbelievably and coincidentally almost the same name Grissom and two other astronauts died differently in a capsule fire 4 years later in 1965!!! It's an unreal prediction that could only come of course from the twilight zone!!!
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609: Come on! You can see it if you look for the Twilight Zone on several public channels especially SyFy and when they have a Twilight Zone marathon.
Now to answer your question yes that's where she destroys the space ship and kills the astronauts who are from Earth who have landed on a planet of human like giants(Agnes) but they're not human!
Man we I saw the suggestion on my UA-cam page, didn't think twice, already here checking out
Thanks for uploading, love these old movies, black and white screen, lovely
Sometimes I think I was born with 89 years already haha
Price and cast fill the contentment and give the movie its enjoyable twists... I can't resist old movies
In a 1987 interview on Sinister Image (1987), Vincent Price revealed that the stage version of "The Bat" had terrified him when he was a child and he accepted the role in this film because he thought the filmmakers "would revive it and bring it up to date," but he was disappointed with the final result because "it wasn't a good script." - The fourth film adaptation of the novel and stage play.
I agree with Price -- the script IS spotty. He and Morehead, however, compensated for it with their presence.
Ty for great reviews on this movie ill def watch now
Agnes is incredible!
This movie has the best opening theme music.
So glad to see praise in these comments for Moorehead and Price, who always give such technically elegant and precise performances in their roles.
Fun ! Chills and Thrills!
Murders galore
Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead great to see
@@lin_mrachek, lol! Yes.
Love the movie, love the silly plot, love the actors, love the quality of the print but wow . . . love that crazy music, man. Fantastic B-movie package.
Classic Vincent was ahead of his time on this one the thought process is astonishing..
Yep, the secretary is Darla Hood, most famous as The Little Rascal's Darla. Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead (Endora in Bewitched) in 'The Bat'. One of my fave 50's horror/mystery movies. With Gavin Gordon, outstanding character actor with 109 movie and TV credits over 40 years. Excellent video quality by the way.
When the kids were younger Friday evenings I would let them have a creature feature night. The first time I played this movie for them an actual bat got in the house somehow and started to fly around...it disappeared after 15 or so minutes...Now that is cosmic...
love these old classy horror movies
Thanks for the movie. Great one. I know Morehead's voice when I hear it instantly. Love her presence and look. She was a grand dame, even on Bewitched where I first saw her.
Had saved it - perfect late evening to watch ! Love Vincent Price and Agnes Moorhead!
AWWWSEME CLASSIC B&W HORROR FLICK..HEY THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1959...N3VER GET RIRED OF WATCHING MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE...ILL BE 54 IN OCTOBER..IM OLD SCHOOL..YA REALLY NEED MOVIES LIKE THIS TO LIKE ..IDK...BRING YA TO A CLASSIC PLACE 👌👍✌😁
Vince price is a 1 in a million actor
always a pleasure to watch Price work and Moorehead is icing on the cake, thanks for the upload
I love ❤ vintage horror 😍I've been watching vincent price since the 70s.
Nice twists and turns and well acted.
What a great movie! Very entertaining to watch.... and love Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead together! 😉
This movie was Excellent!!! Nothing like a good mystery and it will leave you guessing right up til the end. :)
Thank you for posting. I've seen many of Vincent Price's films over the years but not this one. It was a lot of fun. But honestly, I love his cheesy films like the Dr.Phibes films the most. He showed us all his love of comedy and never took himself so seriously. Just had fun with these pulp films.
I remember this movie's tagline: "When it flies, someone dies!". lol
😂😂😂😂
I was 9 yrs old the summer it was released. A bat flew into our house and I was terrified...because when the bat flies... This is the first time I've seen the movie. All that terror over a delightfully silly movie. Love the cast.
7.5/10 A Pretty Interesting Mystery Thriller with just enough Red Herrings To Keep Your Mind Busy Speculating, Though What Really Makes This Film Unusually Fascinating would be the fact that the Female Castmembers are granted more Character than just being hysterical Damsels in Distress
This is one of my favorites!
Cannot believe I gave up on this film after 20 Minutes!!!! Watching it again now and thoroughly enjoying. Mind you anything with Agnes Morrehead and Vincent Price is always excellent. Thanks for the upload.
That was excellent and it had a good twist to it!!!
Highly entertaining great cast
I somehow missed this one but saw the last man on Earth there you go always been a Vincent Price fan
Yeah, that was one of Price's Best... being a supporting and whatnot actor, this was a Classic Tale of Bat tales... Great Movie of Antiquity... !
A "B" movie with a lot of problems, but I keep coming back to watch it because I love Agnes Moorehead and Vincent Price :)
Yes, a bit creaky, but I had a really good time. Wouldn't have been much without Moorehead and Price. The rest of the cast I'm thinking, "Didn't I see him/her in that cheesy movie about the giant killer ants/moths/grasshoppers?"
Price was King of the 'B's horror movies, love him still
Vincent Price & Agnes Morehead together. What a treat. Did anybody recognize Darla of Our Gang as Judy?
Thank-you for posting this gem of a movie. Just loved it.
Girdles and bullet bras! A transom. Takes me back!
Years ago my daughter leased an older house with transoms over each bedroom. Built in the early 40s we figured. Wall heaters, old times pedestal lavatory and footed tub, etc.
2020! Bat soup is off my menu for now with COVID19 pandemic running rampant. Love the B&W classics especially the Friday Flick Fright Night!! & Mr Vincent Price.
Another stellar share! Having recently re watched The Mad Magician, this will be a treat.
I love Vincent Price movies!
Vincent n Agnes 👏👏👏👏👏. The story line or two the BEST. Good writing
Thanks for the upload. I have this one on DVD since it's one of my favorites, but the quality is not as good as this. I mean wow!
Perfect popcorn night movie. I really enjoyed this one. Kept me guessing for sure! Great whodunit.
Agnes Moorehead great great great Vin Vin Vin great I am getting old sucks. Still love these.
I have to wonder if this was considered horror or just suspense in 1959. With today's eyes it's a bit campy and even funny to me, but I'm only a little bit morbid in my senses! LOL Still very enjoyable to watch. Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead were legends in their craft! ❤
With Vincent Price in the lead and the setting, it is usually assumed to be Horror, but it's more of a Suspense Thriller.
PizzaFlix Indeed. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the post!
Campy horror!! B grade that's the beauty of them!! A lot of them are funny!! Don't bother with modern horror anymore!! Waste of time trying to find a good one
I would of loved to be married to Vincent Price and live in a creepy gothic mansion while he reads the tales of Edgar Allan Poe.
MyKindOfNormal 💗
He met his wife in a graveyard. They were married forever, until his death. I always wished he was my grandfather so he could tell me spooky stories.
I love this movie I have watched it so many times I do have this on DVD
It's out on Blu ray now too
Vincent Price is an excellent actor .Love the era of film .
Love all his movies he waa a great horror actor
Agnes Moorehead Vincent Price a priceless priceless priceless combo
Fantastic ! This movie is exceptional. In most of the mystery movies, any character may be the culprit but not someone from the police. Exceptional intelligence is required to plot such a movie. It also indicates the plotter's sensitiveness & fearlessness regarding a grave problem of the human society.
Message of the Film- The police force do contains sadist, money hungry & criminal minded people. The human society have a tendency to separate white-collar professionals from crime though in reality most of the dangerous crimes had been planned by white-collar people. The police forces need to be monitored by competent professionals to ensure it's purity. It is too unfortunate if the priest himself is possessed by the demon !
That was a GREAT movie!!!!!!!
Bats are so maligned! Poor things.
Yea especially the older 2 legged females.
I'm hoping for mine to move in to a bat-house I've installed this spring----to hopefully feast upon a rightly maligned creature: the mosquito!
Agreed but I can't help but freak the hell out when one gets in the house! Helpful hint: don't call Animal Control unless you want to give them a good hard laugh. Save me, Vincent!
Roderick Sloan: Excellent response. However these old bats should be maligned.
Except for the Bat man.
A good one.
Thanks Mr Flix.
Love this great old movie 💙 thank you! ;)
