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!!

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

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.

WOW!! For such an old movie, this is an excellent quality print. Thank you CCC!

Melvyn Douglas is terrific in this. Love his casual acting style. And quite handsome.

Dwight Frye SIXTH billed? That is criminal.

Movies were creepier back in the old days! This was great quality. And a very good movie, especially with Fay Wray 🦍❤👍

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.

Just love Fay Wray. Such classic beauty.

This is an oldie but goodie thanks for posting for us to enjoy keep them coming

The sound of the pump, the splattering of blood into the collection beaker must have been pretty intense for a 1933 audience.

CCC... I'm currently binge watching your channel. I can't believe what clarity and high quality these old movies are. Great Job!!!!

Fay wray beauty. God bless you wherever you are

Adding colour only to the flame of the torches was a nice touch...

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!

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

Nice to see this restored.

The scene where the beaker pops is one of the greatest half seconds in film history...

Wow pristine quality print what a gem!

I love these good old spookies, thank you for sharing this joyful horror 🦇

I love anything with Fay Wray.

The first post-Dracula vampire movie.

The colorized flame effect was good.

Happy Birthday to me! Thanks for the great gift...you are awesome. Loved it!❤

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?

Just saw Melvyn Douglas in The Changeling... Such a difference 50 years makes.💔😞

great print looks like it was restored.

I HATE mobs. They are an example of the worst in supposedly "normal" people.

Love these movies ❤️

Great movie-- When a 'B' movie then, can easily be an 'A' movie in our year 2020--At a midnight matinee ? (kidding) Loved it !

Très bon film, bonne réalisation, excellente photographie, qui rappelle l'expressionnisme allemand ; et un acteur qui interprète Herman d'une façon magistrale !

Fay Wray wonderful! 🖤

Brilliant from start to finish. Thank you for this.

32:07 is my absolute favourite part! Bless the Nice Soft Bat 🦇

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.

Fay Wray looks gorgeous !

Thankz, CCC! This is a cool rarity.

Thanks for this, enjoyed!

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,

Enjoyable film - thanks for sharing this!

Opening scene . helluva swagger for a gimpy guy

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

Good show thank you for sharing it!👍🦇

Great movie! Thamk you!

Thanks

But- if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another. Galations 5:15 ESV But -No human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. James 3:8 ESV

Perfect line delivery by Dwight Frye at 32:45 ! LMAO

Wow classic.

I came here for Dwight Frye 🥰😍🤩🥵

Awesome movie 🎥 🍿

dwight frye is so cute

Fay Wray resembles a young (and natural) Meghan Fox. Love these old 1930s movies.

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 love Herman

Great qauility kudos for digital print.

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!

Excelente pelicula.los felicito.👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍.

That burgermeister had the same job in the 1931 Frankenstein

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

I could watch Fay Wray watching paint dry.

Lionel Atwill would've made a good Doctor Who.. the negative 2nd Doctor maybe

Un petit budjet formidable avec la divine Fay Wray qui n avait pas encore tourné dans le film de Meriam Cooper et Ernest shoedsack de 1933 pour la RKO le chef d'oeuvre absolut KING KONG . Elle dans ce petit film elle s en sort relativement bien.

Mayhem in the underground laboratory. A fitting finish then

36:42 the torches are the only thing that have colour in this movie

thanks CCC great movie , but then a couple of trolls turn up in chat again , so it put me of the movie

Torches have been colorized at 37: 03!

Scary thumbnail

Bom muito bom

I came for Dwight Frye

Are the red flames of the torches original to the black and white release?

Great movie, thanks for posting in HD. 12 commercial breaks in an hour-long movie was too many, though.

Herman do herman do Dwight frye was a legend but died very young love Dwight frye he should have had top billing 👍

Goodnight, sleep tight , dont let the vampire bats bite.

Fay Wray is in this and DYK she was king kongs love interest. ❤

Yes.

Subtítulos porfavor 🙏Español

Fay Wray: KING KONGS WOMAN

It may be old but it`s a good film.

Me encanta el genero es uno de mis favoritos, lastima que no siguieron con el ser sobrenatural

Nice title. I love Chinese food.

Fan theory, Otto Niemann is related to Dr. Niemann from House of Frankenstein

That dude is definitely a vampire when sucking his own blood on his fingers. 27:51.

Esses homens dessa época todos têm cara de loucos 😵😂😂

Dwight frye died young at only 44 rip

Why were the torches colorized? Odd.

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.

Alguien debería controlar los anuncios de youtube

What’s the secret sponge? Or are we never meant to know?

Why were the torches in color? Weird!

Instead of "Don't let the bedbugs bite," it is "Don't let the vampires bite!"

Favorite of my sons. The lower level of the upper level. Of the Chem Lab

How they did to colorize the torches?

37:40 Why are the flames of the torches colorized???
