This movie has it all. A haunted house, trap doors, secret walls, a fire, many murders, lost money, bank heist, a creature on the loose half man half animal a.k.a. The Bat, troublesome phone, people coming in and out with the most outstanding characters Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead and continuous suspense. A fun thriller!
I’m very thrilled, honest…. It’s nice seeing good movies and younger versions of the film stars I knew growing up. Last film I saw in theater was Vanilla Sky. Seven dollar tickets for me and the wife to be… 4 dollar pop corn and 3 dollar sodas. Almost 30 bucks for yet another over hyped movie?! Last film I likely enjoyed at the theater was Karate Kid. Enjoyed the movie… following 5 weeks at 9pm and 11 we’d park near the theater and watch everyone karate fight for free. Pretty much what my friends and I did when we saw it. Fantastic! Oh yeah! Watching the girls giggle and roll their eyes…. Can’t remember anything as funny and predictable after a movie.
As long as I see Vincent Price, I am watching the movie. No modern actors are like the actors of the old days. I am in my 20s and I would watch a black & white movie anyday over the modern movies 💕😍
Agnes Moorehead had it all as an actress.... She had class, style, and old world manners... She coincidentally is buried in one of the most unusual places.... She is buried in Dayton Ohio which was an ancestral center for her... She also had a masters degree in English and public speaking, She had the opportunity to work with Orson Wells as well as well known fellow actor Joseph Cotton and let us also remember that famous actor Vincent Price. (the master of the macabre).... Rest In Peace Mrs Moorehead.... the world misses you....
Besides being a brilliant actress who carried herself with class & dignity, Moorehead had the greatest single resumé credit of all time: "I was in Citizen Kane".
@@jupiterlegrand4817 I've got half an hour left this is a great movie, I believe everything you said, & she is the only Agnes that I have seen or known with that name that was attractive, you may know do you think that was her hair even though Long braid, and yes I agree her and price are brilliant, priceless, definitely the true meaning of Stars.
What a Gem of an Suspense thriller🎥. Moorhead and Price with a supporting cast make this a enjoyable treat! Keeps you on your toes till the end. I love black and white films!!!
Excellent movie, and clever plot. Agnes Morehead was sublime, as was Vincent Price and the others. What a pleasant surprise to see little Darla of "The Little Rascals" fame as an adult.
@@jeansenn2831 I must say you've made a good choice, it's been on my phone for a long time I've got half an hour left, I've always liked Vincent Price I've never seen this , I can tell you now if you haven't seen it, you won't be let down,💰 & waiting 🤔till that dark&👀 spooky ☠️🪓🙄🙈night 🌛🪔is brilliant 🤗
Cannot believe I gave up on this film after 20 Minutes!!!! Watching it again now and thoroughly enjoying. Mind you anything with Agnes Morrehead and Vincent Price is always excellent. Thanks for the upload.
Love the movie, love the silly plot, love the actors, love the quality of the print but wow . . . love that crazy music, man. Fantastic B-movie package.
Agnes Moorehead was spectacular, I thought she was so lovely & exotic looking when she was younger & I loved her as Endora & thought she was lovely still.
Agnes Moorhead is always hot and has a rocking body. If you saw her in a bikini you would drool. Scratching her long nails on your back with sun tan lotion on the sand. Erecting your beach umbrella.
Man we I saw the suggestion on my TH-cam page, didn't think twice, already here checking out Thanks for uploading, love these old movies, black and white screen, lovely Sometimes I think I was born with 89 years already haha
Yep, the secretary is Darla Hood, most famous as The Little Rascal's Darla. Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead (Endora in Bewitched) in 'The Bat'. One of my fave 50's horror/mystery movies. With Gavin Gordon, outstanding character actor with 109 movie and TV credits over 40 years. Excellent video quality by the way.
Thank you for posting. I've seen many of Vincent Price's films over the years but not this one. It was a lot of fun. But honestly, I love his cheesy films like the Dr.Phibes films the most. He showed us all his love of comedy and never took himself so seriously. Just had fun with these pulp films.
I love watching Vincent Price and peter laury. The movie where they had the wine contest together is my favorite movie with them both in it. I always love to watch that movie with a glass of wine in my hand. It is so relaxing to me and that movie is got a lot of funny moments in it to.
lorre gulps down a pint of wine in one go! a horrified price says but you are supposed to sip it swill it round you mouth taste the favour and spit it out.lorre replies lissen you do it your way ill do it mine!
@@mikekemp9877 I love that part. Also side note when Charles Manson was alive and planning on murdering a few celebrities. He was going to murder Peter Lorrie's Daughter but when he found out who she was he decided not to murder her just because of who her father was. So they did not murder her.
@@mr.garlicman3134 thats odd because one of lorres daughters was nearly killed by the night strangler richard ramirez when he went solo after parting with his cousin.she was called by him as she advertised for a house sitter but apolice car outside put him off! He then went to the pacific northwest where he used the same ruse killed the girls and got caught.
Great horror movie. Love Agnes Morehead. She had a Ph.D in English. Also first time I saw Darla Hood(Little Rascals) as an adult in a movie. Agnes Moorehead's greatest appearance however was on the masterpiece, ingenious Twilight Zone episode "The Invaders" which was 99% silent except her grunts and the fantastic ending with approx. 30 seconds of talk(not hers).
@@stephenperretti8847: I'm old but not that old from the radio era of the 1930s and 1940s. So I can't attest to your opinion. However I disagree since her Twilight Zone acting was superb as well as that episode probably I'd say in top 5 episodes of TZ along with the outstanding Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up with the great but unknown John Hoyt!!!
@@johnc2438: This morning Monday 9/20/21 on SyFy channel as every Monday and only Monday beginning at 4 AM till 6:30 AM they show the Twilight Zone-they had The Invaders(1962) with Agnes Morehead - completely silent except her grunts until the last minute when a small astronaut Earthling starts talking. I've seen all the episodes since about 1964 when I was 16 at least 500 times but this morning I heard something I missed all these almost 55 years: the Earth astronaut frantically speaks to Earth that the other astronaut Grisham is dead(Agnes Morehead killed him and is destroying the spaceship with an ax). Unbelievably and coincidentally almost the same name Grissom and two other astronauts died differently in a capsule fire 4 years later in 1965!!! It's an unreal prediction that could only come of course from the twilight zone!!!
@@chirelle.alanalooney8609: Come on! You can see it if you look for the Twilight Zone on several public channels especially SyFy and when they have a Twilight Zone marathon. Now to answer your question yes that's where she destroys the space ship and kills the astronauts who are from Earth who have landed on a planet of human like giants(Agnes) but they're not human!
Love this movie! I'm ready to watch it yet again. Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead are perfect together. Each a legend for good reason: talent and charisma for days! Fun spooky time, great for Halloween too! Boo!
This movie had more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at. The person that was the least likely suspect turned out to be the Bat. Was sure caught off guard. This movie is a real classic.
In a 1987 interview on Sinister Image (1987), Vincent Price revealed that the stage version of "The Bat" had terrified him when he was a child and he accepted the role in this film because he thought the filmmakers "would revive it and bring it up to date," but he was disappointed with the final result because "it wasn't a good script." - The fourth film adaptation of the novel and stage play.
I was 9 yrs old the summer it was released. A bat flew into our house and I was terrified...because when the bat flies... This is the first time I've seen the movie. All that terror over a delightfully silly movie. Love the cast.
When the kids were younger Friday evenings I would let them have a creature feature night. The first time I played this movie for them an actual bat got in the house somehow and started to fly around...it disappeared after 15 or so minutes...Now that is cosmic...
AWWWSEME CLASSIC B&W HORROR FLICK..HEY THIS WAS RELEASED IN 1959...N3VER GET RIRED OF WATCHING MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE...ILL BE 54 IN OCTOBER..IM OLD SCHOOL..YA REALLY NEED MOVIES LIKE THIS TO LIKE ..IDK...BRING YA TO A CLASSIC PLACE 👌👍✌😁
7.5/10 A Pretty Interesting Mystery Thriller with just enough Red Herrings To Keep Your Mind Busy Speculating, Though What Really Makes This Film Unusually Fascinating would be the fact that the Female Castmembers are granted more Character than just being hysterical Damsels in Distress
An enjoyable thriller with a twist. I see Vincent Price in my recommended and it’s an easy choice. Agnes Moorehead was good too.
Agnes Moorehead was 59 years old in this role and still a beautiful woman. And what a career; she enjoyed some truly iconic roles. Such a star!
Agnes Moorhead was a treasure! What a great actress she was! A real nice Sunday night movie! Thank you!
This movie has it all.
A haunted house, trap doors, secret walls, a fire, many murders, lost money, bank heist, a creature on the loose half man half animal a.k.a. The Bat, troublesome phone, people coming in and out with the most outstanding characters Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead and continuous suspense.
A fun thriller!
Agree with you my friend 🥰🥰🥰

I agree. Lenita Lane was also great as Lizzie Allen. The Bat is an all time classic movie with an all time great cast.
What a team: Vincent Price the one and only, and the goddess of Radio, Agnes Moorhead. Terrific film from a great era. Thanks!
Now I am wondering what it would have been like if the bat met his match in the shadow.
I’m very thrilled, honest…. It’s nice seeing good movies and younger versions of the film stars I knew growing up.

You can't miss that voice of Agnes Morehead! Love her acting.
Vincent Price, could listen to him speak all day. Agnes Moorehead, a sublime actress. I suspect she was under rated.
Besides being a brilliant actress who carried herself with class & dignity, Moorehead had the greatest single resumé credit of all time: "I was in Citizen Kane".
@Jimmy L Needham I stated that she was sublime, should I redact that statement?
Agnes e a quente...e Price e o cara!!!

@@bigm383 I understood what you were saying, you're probably right.
Vincent Price's acting abilities are truly priceless!
Just like our so-called leaders, their acting is truly priceless.
You could earn a degree in English, just listening to him speak!
Just like parasitic politicians.
I see what you did there ... nice.
He is so underrated!!! That’s a crime. Lol. I love him in everything he is in. Especially Laura.
What a great film this was, great acting by everyone. You can't beat these classics.
What a Gem of an Suspense thriller🎥. Moorhead and Price with a supporting cast make this a enjoyable treat! Keeps you on your toes till the end. I love black and white films!!!
LOVE ALL VINCENT PRICES'S MOVIES HE WAS THE BEST ACTOR FOR ALL SC/FI MOVIES...GREAT MOVIES
What a treat. I could watch Vincent Price all night. 🌹
Price and Moorehead in the same flick. Total class. 👍 🔫 🎥 🕵
Excellent movie, and clever plot. Agnes Morehead was sublime, as was Vincent Price and the others. What a pleasant surprise to see little Darla of "The Little Rascals" fame as an adult.
She was in The Bohemian Girl with Laurel and Hardy. The Bohemian Girl was the best operetta that Stan and Ollie made!
Vincent Price at his best. Thanks for uploading this movie.
Perfect popcorn night movie. I really enjoyed this one. Kept me guessing for sure! Great whodunit.
This was a good movie. definitely recommended
What a fun little flick! Perfect for a stormy night. Really enjoyed!
Saving this in favorites for Halloween night 2021! 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

One of my favorites of all time ❤❤❤
Wonderful dance music for the intro. Love her voice, Agnes Moorehead.
This is a fun thriller with the talented and enigmatic Vincent Price. Great movie!
Thanks for uploading this movie. It was very entertaining with Vincent Price.
It's too bad movies can't be this good anymore.
When was the last time you were in the movie theater? You're kind of trash is what's ruining the business
Brilliant movie, Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead were excellent as always.
A really great movie! I met Vincent Price once...A very nice man, He acts and sound just like he does in his movies
wow,i've met his daughter Victoria,she's very nice
I know great cast,Agnes is such the awesome character actor she was really awesome on Bewitched, I believe I'm gonna watch it again 😀😀
Oh, that style of the 50's!!! Priceless!!!!
The house on haunted hill is another great Vincent Price movie 🎥
With a good twist.
The Last man on Earth is the best Vincent Price movie
That’s my favorite - Price was priceless
Yep just watched earlier today. Also Shock
Vincent and Agnes. 2 legends in the same film. A pretty good one for the time.
Love this movie!! Can watch it over and over!! Great acting!!💙💚🇺🇸✌🙏
What a brilliant film! 😁
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MAIN CHARACTER ❤ Mrs Corny is literally my favorite person
The Bat is a comfort movie for me ❤.
I feel the same way!
Excellent movie I always watch it once a year
I love this movie!! Comedy, scary stuff and Vincent price! Who could ask for more!!😁😀❤❤
What a clean copy. A pleasure to watch.
Always loved Agnes Moorehead, first saw her in Citizen Kane. Price is wonderful, whatever he does.
Loved him in The House of Wax, House on Haunted Hill, Diary of a Madman, so many more!
Price and cast fill the contentment and give the movie its enjoyable twists... I can't resist old movies
A great star Agnes Moorehead ! I love her in all her roles specially Bewitched ! ❤❤❤❤

Thank you! 🌹
I think my favorite Price movie is The Fall of the House of Usher. His character is something else lol
“Goodnight, Andy. Don’t get hurt.” I love it when Vincent Price says that in his smooth, sexy voice. 49:39
One of Agnes Mooreheads great performances!
We lost her too soon... 😥
Had saved it - perfect late evening to watch ! Love Vincent Price and Agnes Moorhead!
This is one ofmy favorite movies❤
Agnes Moorehead was spectacular, I thought she was so lovely & exotic looking when she was younger & I loved her as Endora & thought she was lovely still.
J is Scoobysmom Remember her in that incredible episode of the Twilight Zone? Outstanding!
The only TZ episode with no dialogue i think interesting episode
And that character, what a refreshing break from the usual 'stand there, look pretty and scream' female characters of the time!
Agnes Moorhead is always hot and has a rocking body. If you saw her in a bikini you would drool. Scratching her long nails on your back with sun tan lotion on the sand. Erecting your beach umbrella.
Vincent Price, mmmmmm x
Thank u so much for the movies 😅 I’m sitting here watching them all thanks again
So glad to see praise in these comments for Moorehead and Price, who always give such technically elegant and precise performances in their roles.
Fun ! Chills and Thrills!
Murders galore
Vincent Price and Agnes Morehead great to see

I saw this as a kid . The Bat scared the hell out of me .
Nice twists and turns and well acted.

Yeah, that was one of Price's Best... being a supporting and whatnot actor, this was a Classic Tale of Bat tales... Great Movie of Antiquity... !

I agree with Price -- the script IS spotty. He and Morehead, however, compensated for it with their presence.
Love this great old movie 💙 thank you! ;)
I somehow missed this one but saw the last man on Earth there you go always been a Vincent Price fan
I love Vincent Price movies!
I've not seen this before now. Thanks.
Vincent n Agnes 👏👏👏👏👏. The story line or two the BEST. Good writing
