Big Bat
The Devil Bat is one hour and nine minute long and was released on December 13, 1940. Bela Lugosi plays Dr. Paul Carruthers who invented perfume years ago and is not repeating the benefits from it. So to get back at the people he creates this over sized bat to attack certain people he has giving an experimental aftershave. One by one begin to die. Newspaper man, Johnny Layton and photographer One Shot Maguire come to Heathville to solve the murder and get a story. Johnny figures out that Dr. Paul Carruthers. He sets a trap for Dr. Carruthers to get him to confess. In the end Dr. Carruthers is killed by his own bat. The movie is high on suspense. The bat in the movie looks like something out of a Halloween catalog. Still this is a good movie to watch and gets a B.
