This is the perfect little movie to watch on a dark and stormy afternoon or night. I watched it again last night. It wasn't storming; it was warm so I had windows open, and just a tiny light on. Just my cats and me in the house when the tape ended and I started closing the windows, I did it really fast because it was pitch black outside and I couldn't see a thing. I was actually creeped out from watching the movie!
Agnes Moorhead and Vincent Price are so good in this, and I always enjoy the scenes between "Corny" and Lizzie. -

I thought this film was pretty tense and very entertaining. The Bat made for a real creepy and nifty villain. Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead were both terrific in the leads. Lenita Lane was a real hoot as the excitable Lizzie Allen. I also loved Joseph Biroc's sharp black and white cinematography with its artful use of dissolves and vertical wipes. Moreover, the Bat's true identity was a genuine surprise.

I have to say, having seen all three Bat movies, my favorite is Lenita Lane's Lizzie Allen because she was the brave one who wouldn't be scared out of the house. As a kid I always admired her character, more so I think than I did Cornelia's.

It was certainly a surprise to me the first time I saw it, granted I was 2 years old at the timeand at that age I didn't try to figure out who among the character was The Bat.
But a while back, my mother and I were watching it again and right before the Bat is shot, my mother said they should've recognzied his voicebut to me, it doesn't really sound like his regular voice. -

cool..to be honest, I don't remember the movie as well as I'd like. I haven't seen it in years! But I can agree that most people wouldn't have recognized his voice (I doubt I did)

The first time I saw that movie I didn't even recognize Anderson when they unmasked him. I mean maybe it's me but I thought his face looked fatter at the end than it did before, but then again he stood for the whole movie but he was laying down when he was dead, so I guess that would have something to do with it.

"The Bat" was on Wolfman Mac's Chiller Drive in (shows B movies). EVen though I have the dvd, I had to stay up and watch it. It is more fun televised, knowing other people are watching it too

Yes, I definitely enjoyed this movie while watching it for the first time on tv years ago. It was definitely comforting to know that others were watching it too. My younger brothers and I enjoyed watching it at that time, and they were only in elementary school! I just love classic movies!

You took the words out of my mouth practically. I love this movie because yes, people die, but in the traditional 50's tradition they were not excessively bloody, though it always annoyed me we never really got to see Judy after her death, they really seemed to take a great length to avoid showing what he did to her throat and that always kind of bugged me even as a kid, because I wasn't sure if we were seeing anything or not.

I knew I had seen the actor who played Lt. Anderson somewhere before, but it was a real surprise to find that he played Lord Byron in the prelude to BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
