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.
Such a treasure when this happens. I'm 72, and it doesn't happen that often anymore. Enjoy, my friend.
Bravo to CCC for uploading such high quality prints when available. It really makes such a big difference in viewing enjoyment.
Dwight Frye was excellent in every horror movie he did one of my all time favorites
came to the comments to say the exact same thing
frye was such an icon 🫶
Poor Herman...so misunderstood. Great movie!!! Well worth the watch!
Lionel Atwill was one of the most talented and handsome classic Hollywood actors! Love his voice too!!
Poor Herman - he was just a misunderstood animal lover.
Thanks @CCC!
Look at that great cast. Melvyn Douglas, the suave hero. Lionel Atwill, the sinister villain. Fay Wray, always a class act. Dwight Frye, the quintessential screwball.
Melvyn Douglas is terrific in this. Love his casual acting style. And quite handsome.
Just love Fay Wray. Such classic beauty.
I love anything with Fay Wray.
Fay wray beauty. God bless you wherever you are
Adding colour only to the flame of the torches was a nice touch...
The sound of the pump, the splattering of blood into the collection beaker must have been pretty intense for a 1933
audience.
Movies were creepier back in the old days! This was great quality. And a very good movie, especially with Fay Wray 🦍❤👍
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.
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.
not colorized. the 1933 film had a technicolor sequence
@@lotteweill I only remember seeing the flames being bright orangeish yellow. Don't know the technique or pretend to. I just know I liked it.
@@godfreecharlie Hi Charlie, UCLA Film and Television streamed their 2017 restoration of the film today 10/29/20 on Vimeo. The flames in the 1933 original were in color. UCLA digitally restored the color for their restoration. Fay Wray's daughter did an informative interview today after the film. She said Wray never talked about the film. Wray made 11 films, including King Kong in the single year 1933
Thanks folks. I just asked the same in a separate comment.
Let’s have some kudos for Maude Eburne’s hilarious aunt, whose moods change like quicksilver, whose medical terms - real and unreal - roll off her tongue with ease, and who nails every comic moment with speedy, spontaneous perfection! Well done, Maude!
WOW!! For such an old movie, this is an excellent quality print. Thank you CCC!
The scene where the beaker pops is one of the greatest half seconds in film history...
Dwight Frye SIXTH billed? That is criminal.
Wow pristine quality print what a gem!
Nice to see this restored.
I love these good old spookies, thank you for sharing this joyful horror 🦇
This is an oldie but goodie thanks for posting for us to enjoy keep them coming
32:07 is my absolute favourite part! Bless the Nice Soft Bat 🦇
The colorized flame effect was good.
CCC... I'm currently binge watching your channel. I can't believe what clarity and high quality these old movies are. Great Job!!!!
You are very welcome Micha Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the club for crazy cinephiles! Hope to CCC ya soon 🍿
Just saw Melvyn Douglas in The Changeling... Such a difference 50 years makes.💔😞
I finally found him in that movie. It's ever a shock to me when I see what age does to youth and beauty.
@@SBCBears Yes indeed...time is a thief 💔
great print looks like it was restored.
Thank you, Cult Cinema Classics, for posting "The Vampire Bat" with such a great quality. It's one of my favorite movies, and I'm never tired of it. Frank R. Strayer directed many unsettling excellent films, but (I don't know why) this one is the best for me. :D
Now, poor little, scaredy Herman. Because your intentions were misunderstood, you met an untimely demise. What could you have done to make em treat you like that?
Fay Wray wonderful! 🖤
Happy Birthday to me! Thanks for the great gift...you are awesome. Loved it!❤
Happy Birthday hun ,,, from Dusty Willams of T.A.P.S. GHOSTHUNTERS .

I HATE mobs. They are an example of the worst in supposedly "normal" people.
The first post-Dracula vampire movie.
Fay Wray looks gorgeous !
Très bon film, bonne réalisation, excellente photographie, qui rappelle l'expressionnisme allemand ; et un acteur qui interprète Herman d'une façon magistrale !
A double dose of creepy little hunchback guys in this one, with both Dwight Frye and George E. Stone, but Frye wins the battle of the creeps. I think he was actually playing this one more for laughs.
Great movie-- When a 'B' movie then, can easily be an 'A' movie in our year 2020--At a midnight matinee ? (kidding) Loved it !
I used to live in Los Angeles where there were & still are theaters that show old movies on the big screen. Some show double features - sometimes at midnight. One theater showed a Marx Bros. triple feature. It was so much fun! I actually got physically tired of laughing!! I now live in a much smaller town that doesn't do that & I really miss it.
Let’s have some kudos for Maude Eburne as the hilarious aunt! The way her moods changed like quicksilver, the way medical terms (real or not) rolled off her tongue with ease,
But- if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.

But -No human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Love these movies ❤️
Brilliant from start to finish. Thank you for this.
Enjoyable film - thanks for sharing this!
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.
THAT'S WHAT I CALL A MOVIE, A GREAT MOVIE. AND NOT THE CRAP TODAY WHAT MAKE HOLLYWOOD
What? This movie is ok at best. There are plenty of much better movies made today.
Don’t be such an idiot.
Fay Wray resembles a young (and natural) Meghan Fox. Love these old 1930s movies.
Opening scene . helluva swagger for a gimpy guy
Came for Lionel Atwill, Melvyn Douglas, Fay Wray and Dwight Fry. Love to see this in such great quality. Now I know where the band "Dog Faced Hermans" got their name from. Came for acting, stay for the witty writing. I'm surprised that the whole thing ends on a toilet joke! But hey, if you didn't catch on to running gags of hypochondriac medial jokes before the end, I mean, It's not too "on the nose".
I came here for Dwight Frye 🥰😍🤩🥵
Good show thank you for sharing it!👍🦇
Perfect line delivery by Dwight Frye at 32:45 ! LMAO
dwight frye is so cute
Thanks for this, enjoyed!
Thanks
Thankz, CCC! This is a cool rarity.
I love Herman
Wow classic.
7:07 dynamite!
I could watch Fay Wray watching paint dry.
Great movie! Thamk you!
I came for Dwight Frye
Same
Me too. Underrated gem.
Goodnight, sleep tight , dont let the vampire bats bite.
56:30 Dracula, two years before only allowed offscreen implication of the count biting Renfield to avoid homoerotic implications - great to see another production seeing past that silly notion and just treating this as another vampire’s victim
Herman do herman do Dwight frye was a legend but died very young love Dwight frye he should have had top billing 👍
That burgermeister had the same job in the 1931 Frankenstein
Scary thumbnail
Lionel Atwill would've made a good Doctor Who.. the negative 2nd Doctor maybe
Awesome movie 🎥 🍿
36:42 the torches are the only thing that have colour in this movie
Mayhem in the underground laboratory. A fitting finish then
Great qauility kudos for digital print.
Torches have been colorized at 37: 03!
not colorized. the 1933 film had a technicolor sequence
Excelente pelicula.los felicito.👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍.
Great movie, thanks for posting in HD. 12 commercial breaks in an hour-long movie was too many, though.
Fay Wray is in this and DYK she was king kongs love interest. ❤
thanks CCC great movie , but then a couple of trolls turn up in chat again , so it put me of the movie
-Don't VAX me bro- Like what happened with Lady Gangster today?
Where can you find this full version on DvD? Or which version is it? I can't seem to find the full restored version anywhere besides here! The dvd we have had a good 3 minute part cut out of it!
Are the red flames of the torches original to the black and white release?
It may be old but it`s a good film.
Bom muito bom
Fay was beautiful !
Anyone else find the fact they ended the movie on a "funny" note strange? I guess the theme of life and death was never taken seriously in the movie but finishing it on such a bad joke was an unfortunate choice.

Why were the torches colorized? Odd.
Dwight frye died young at only 44 rip
Instead of "Don't let the bedbugs bite," it is "Don't let the vampires bite!"

Why were the torches in color? Weird!
Favorite of my sons. The lower level of the upper level. Of the Chem Lab
th culprit of those bite marks was a flying hamster. this is a little known fact
37:40 Why are the flames of the torches colorized???
good question i thought the frist movie with color was wizard of oz but i guess not
Well i was thinking the same too. Thats kinda weird 🤔
@@randomreviews4278 its not the wizard of oz. The first movie in color was Becky Sharp from 1935 i think
