Product Description
Triple bill of horror classics. Low-budget horror maestro Roger Corman directs 'Creature From the Haunted Sea' (1961), about a mobster who hits on a plan while smuggling a deposed general and a fortune in gold out of Cuba on his private yacht. His plan is to scare the general and kill his guards by faking the attacks of a sea monster, enabling him to keep the gold for himself. When a genuine sea monster begins attacking them though, the plan goes horribly awry. In 'The Devil Bat' (1941), Bela Lugosi plays mild-mannered Dr Carruthers, a man hiding a murderous secret. At night, he unleashes his breed of blood-sucking bats to attack anyone wearing his specially formulated aftershave lotion, in an attempt to get revenge on the perfume company that sacked him. Finally, in 'The Vampire Bat' (1933), a series of murders in which the bodies are completely drained of blood causes superstitious villagers to believe there is a vampire at work. In reality a mad scientist is commiting the crimes in order to use the blood in his experiments.

I had to balance this up after its sole one-star review here.
This is another bargain trio of vintage horror-ish films, and as such does what it says on the tin.
THE DEVIL BAT [1940] is the best, with Bela Lugosi training a huge bat to attack his enemies.
VAMPIRE BAT, [1933] with Lionel Atwill and Fay Wray, is a thirties Gothic with vampires, incensed villagers, fiendish experiments et al, and is a fun hour.
CREATURE FROM THE HAUNTED SEA [1961] is a cult Roger Corman film, about treasure hunters and Carribean revolutionaries. It's quirky, but a little boring; if you can't sit through it all, just watch the animated title credits and the last ten minutes with the furry ping-pong-ball-eyed fuzzy monster [that would have been good on Sesame Street]. This is the most modern film on the disc, and the weakest.
Generally, if you like this sort of thing, you'll be entertained, and the two Bat films are pretty good. Expect no extras, but get the disc very cheaply for a little bargain.

I'm still stunned after watching these three films, the quality is awful picture and soundwise, and all three are banal storywise. If your looking for old horror films I'd stick to the old Universal classics. Maw.
