31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN DAY 12: BAT PEOPLE 1974 (MGM)

Obscure and unusual film about a man bitten by a bat and his slow transformation into a bat-like creature.

Stewart Moss is the man who is bitten and Marianne McAndrews is his lovely wife who has a hard time understanding what is happening to her husband and who has an even harder time fending off the leering sheriff played by Michael Pataki.

Paul Carr is the doctor who tries to help and Arthur Space is an unlucky tramp who meets a grisly fate. It was nice to see Pat Delaney as a nurse victimized by Moss' bat creature. Delaney, of course was the lovely wife of the crazy scientist in Zontar, The Thing From Venus.

It's nice to have this rare film on DVD. It seems to have fallen thru the cracks of cinema history and that isn't right. A good fright film for cold fall nights. Recommended!!
