The Devil Bat

Short little 1940 film features Bela Lugosi as a chemist seeking revenge on corrupt business partners. He does this by mutating a bunch of bats who go nuts over a special shaving lotion he's concocted. I swear....I don't make this stuff up! This early work from Jean Yarbrough who would go on to direct shows suchs as THE ADDAMS FAMILY and MY FAVORITE MARTIAN as well as many westerns, is not nearly as bad as it sounds and running at just over an hour is well worth a look if for nothing else other than Lugosi's over the top performance....and wait til you get a look at the devil bats...special effects at their very best!!
