The Vampire Bat (1933) Drama, Horror, Mystery | Full Movie | Subtitled 

Bravo to CCC for uploading such high quality prints when available. It really makes such a big difference in viewing enjoyment.

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!!

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

Just love Fay Wray. Such classic beauty.

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

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

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

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

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

Lubię stare filmy o tej tematyce. Mają swój klimat.

Dwight Frye SIXTH billed? That is criminal.

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

Wow pristine quality print what a gem!

Nice to see this restored.

I love anything with Fay Wray.

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

Fay wray beauty. God bless you wherever you are

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?

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

The first post-Dracula vampire movie.

great print looks like it was restored.

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

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

Brilliant from start to finish. Thank you for this.

The colorized flame effect was good.

Thanks for this, enjoyed!

Thankz, CCC! This is a cool rarity.

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,

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.

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

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

Opening scene . helluva swagger for a gimpy guy

Love these movies ❤️

Fay Wray wonderful! 🖤

Fay Wray looks gorgeous !

Good show thank you for sharing it!👍🦇

Great movie! Thamk you!

Enjoyable film - thanks for sharing this!

for any first-time viewers: The flaming torches 🔥were actually original to one version of the 1933 film. From IMDb: "At least one original release print had the torches 🔥 in the Bronson Canyon sequence hand-colored by Gustav Brock. Thereafter, the film remained completely B&W until 2017, when UCLA digitally restored the color in its new preservation negative." 😊

I could watch Fay Wray watching paint dry.

THAT'S WHAT I CALL A MOVIE, A GREAT MOVIE. AND NOT THE CRAP TODAY WHAT MAKE HOLLYWOOD

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.

Atmospheric modestly budgeted film - good use of the camera - Lionel Atwill only made a modest number of spook films - but what fine movies they were - strong cast Fay Wray, Dwight Frye, George E Stone and a young Melvin Douglas - what a fine voice Lionel had - and at just over an hour - it does not waste a second

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

Thanks

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".

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

Wow classic.

Awesome movie 🎥 🍿

I came here for Dwight Frye 🥰😍🤩🥵

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

Great qauility kudos for digital print.

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

dwight frye is so cute

I love Herman

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!

I came for Dwight Frye

Torches have been colorized at 37: 03!

That burgermeister had the same job in the 1931 Frankenstein

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

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

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

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

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.

Scary thumbnail

Mayhem in the underground laboratory. A fitting finish then

Subtítulos porfavor 🙏Español

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

Fay Wray: KING KONGS WOMAN

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

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

Bom muito bom

Why were the torches in color? Weird!

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

Yes.

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.

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

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

Dwight frye died young at only 44 rip

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

Alguien debería controlar los anuncios de youtube

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

Nice title. I love Chinese food.

How they did to colorize the torches?

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

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

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

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

Can anyone tell me if the colour moments belong to 1933 or have been added

Fay was beautiful !
