Product Description:
When a brilliant scientist, Dr. Paul Carruthers, develops an ingenious product and is cheated out of his fair share of the profits by his greedy partners, Carruthers decides to use his brain rather than brawn to get vengeance. The scientist turns his laboratory of science into one of doom as he creates a giant race of bats.

Rating:  - "Must See For English Lit Majors"
Commentators at this site have already done a good job singling out most of the memorable lines of this Gothic horror "classic." Never failing to amuse far beyond its utterer's, though perhaps not its screenwriter's, intentions are such unforgettable Lugosi gems as "Bombastic ignoramus!," "Rub it on the tender part of your neck," "Splendid! You shall be even greater than your unfortunate predecessor!" (intoned with Hungarian accent and full solemnity to Devil Bat # 2), and most of all, with reference ... Read More
Rating: - Bela does it again!
Even though Bela's movies are "before my time," I can't help but appreciate his roles in these low budget flicks of yesteryear. I love the premise of this movie and can see a modern variation on this theme of giant bats that "sever the jugular" of their victims.
As a warning to all, do yourselves a favor and only buy the one which states that the movie was released by the Bela Lugosi Estate since this version uses the original film elements to present a nice, crisp picture. Bela Lugosi Jr. ... Read More
Rating: - "Ah My Friend, Our Theory Of Glandular Stimulation Was Correct!"
"The Devil Bat" is a 1940 classic starring Bela Lugosi as (surprise!) a mad scientist up to no good. Lugosi, as Dr. Paul Carruthers, seems like a model citizen, but evil lurks. Lugosi is a cosmetics researcher (who obviously participates in animal testing) out for vengeance, as he feels betrayed by his employers over money issues. He contrives a nefarious plot to enlarge bats with electricity in conformance with his "theory of glandular stimulation" and simultaneously teaches the bats to target a new shaving ... Read More

Rating: - A DVD From The Lugosi Estate
This is a DVD put out by the estate of Bela Lugosi.I love it.I loved the audio commentary from Bela Lugosi Jr.While a lot of Lugosi fans tend to bash Bela Jr., I personally was enchanted by his commentary.It is basically a public domain film,repackaged.However, it conatains a rare radio program audio track within it that is worth the price of the DVD. I think Bela Jr. has done a fine job in producing this DVD.Kudos to Mr. Lugosi from an avid fan of your fathers!
