Devil Bat (PRC, 1940)....

Description

Devil Bat (PRC, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Bela Lugosi is a scientist who has been cheated out of profits for his invention by some cunning employers. To get his revenge, he develops giant killer bats that are attracted to an after-shave lotion, a lotion that Lugosi contrives to have members of the employer's family wear. This film was cheaply made but, believe it or not, was one of PRC's more successful horror films and spawned a sequel "Devil Bat's Daughter." Material for this title, as Lugosi fans know, is relatively difficult to acquire. Tape has been applied to the back of the poster to repair border pinholes and fold line splits. There is some slight separation at the fold line intersections, and slight paper loss at the lower left hand corner. Poster displays very well. Fine+.
