Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

Vincent Price and Agnes Moorehead could make My Mother, The Car look good and they really elevate this thriller. Alot of plot, alot of characters, bolstered by strong black and white cinematography and sporadically surging soundtrack.

Vincent Price plays a murderous Doctor who enjoys taking vacations with recovered psychotic patients who still have violent tendencies. I'm still not clear if his best partner in crime is the dude who dons the mask or not...but it's another mysterious element of this movie which keeps your interest.

Looking for Elaine Edwards (the blonde actress from Cameron Mitchell's "Inside The Mafia", same year) and Darla Hood (the cast list has their names - gotta Google-it again I guess).

So in the mix are a not completely recovered psychotic; an evil Doctor (his evilness covers his own medical descriptions); the actual "Bat" dude; the writer; her maid/housekeeper; her ex-chauffeur, now Butler trainee who occasionally likes to drive himself to the airport and back; another maid/housekeeper; the presumptive Assistant Bank Manager; his fiance; a young lady expected to testify as a Bat witness (?); a Protective Officer; let's see, oh yeah, real bats....and, uh.

But all these features contribute to the crazy, albeit often harrowing effects.

Which one was Elaine E.?

I wish I would have read the posts for this movie before buying it!!! Once again fantastic mystery thriller with Agnes Moorehead and Vincent Price destroyed by the terrible dvd transfer! Do not buy this movie until a good dvd transfer comes along. Rent it!
