Reporter Kills Devil Bat! Oh and PS, Americanism and Girls!Great thriller B! Bela Lugosi is kindly "village doctor" whose scientific research gets ripped off by local moneyed family; he seeks revenge by electrocuting bats until they feel like chewing on the jugulars of his oppressors. Bela Lugosi is such a dapper guy, always in that sharp fedora and full suit. This one is pretty solid. I appreciated all the little touches: the great question-mark tie worn by the Chicago newspaperman, the strange family portraits in Lugosi's hallway. The chilling screech heard when the bats descend on their prey is fantastic! I haven't had so much fun since The Tingler!
$5000? I can't believe these jerks!
