Lugosi's Best
This movie, Starring Bela Lugosi, is what I consider to be one of his best. You can laugh at the giant rubber bats (which probably inspired the 1950's giant insect genre). Note of Advice: Avoid the cheap video version by Front Row Entertainment version, taped in SLP mode. The plot: Lugosi plays the town doctor, who everybody likes. But in his house, out of the public eye, he is creating giant bats and a shaving cream they are attracted to. He gives the shaving cream to victims for them to sample, and the bats sense it and eliminate the victims. The film can be tedious at times because of the sometimes dark picture, but it's a short flick (70 minutes) and can easily be sat through. Extremely watchable and worth buying, if the price is moderately reasonable.
