The Devil Bat (1940)
Tumblr media
Sometimes, you dig through the films that have fallen into the public domain and find some gems. Most of the time, you find the likes of The Devil Bat.
Dr. Paul Carruthers (Lugosi) is beloved by the town of Heathville. Particularly by the Morton and Heath families, whom he’s made rich by developing several of the beauty products they sell. Bitter and resentful of their fortunes, Carruthers has devised an elaborate means of getting revenge. Using electricity, he’s enlarged an ordinary bat to enormous size and trained it to attack anyone wearing a new aftershave he’s developed. After several murders, reporter Johnny Layton (Dave O’Brien) and his sidekick photographer “One-Shot” McGuire (Donald Kerr) begin investigating.
If the plot sounds needlessly complicated and dumb, it's because it is. Carruthers’ plan has way too many phases. Step one: train ordinary bats to attack anyone wearing a very specific scent. Step two: use his SCIENCE! to enlarge one of these bats. Step three: convince his targets to try the aftershave he’s developed. Step four: release the animal from its cage. Hopefully, it rips his target's’ throat out. Meanwhile, he’s got to cross his fingers hoping the police don’t connect him and the victims’ death, a task that would be pretty hard considering he’s always the last person they talk to before getting shredded.
The plot is ludicrous and made more comical by several unintentional quirks in the direction and set design. To release the Devil Bat, Carruthers has to open a secret door in a bookcase which leads to a secret room. In this secret room, there’s a hidden door in the wall which leads to a staircase. At the top is another room whose entrance is hidden in a wall. That final room, by the way, has a window which opens to the outside. After the first murder, you figure the police will need some time to connect the victim to our villain but no! Since no one saw the bat attack the first Heath son, they assume a person attacked him despite 1) the killer getting away fast as lightning 2) the strange bite marks and scratches around the victim’s neck and shoulders 3) the “rat-like” hairs found on the man’s clothing 4) the animal-like shrieks heard as the man’s sister, Mary (Suzanne Kaaren) ran towards him. Imagine going through all these hoops and still becoming suspect #1.
Watching the characters slowly piece together what would be obvious to everyone watching even if the “twist” wasn’t revealed in the first scene is funny. I’ll give the special effects a break - the bats featured don’t look much better than the ones alongside Lugosi in 1931’s Dracula - but the dialogue is so wooden and clunky it feels like a first draft. The characters show no emotion whatsoever. Even after their loved ones are violently killed. I’ve seen stronger reactions from people who spilled a drink than from Mary after her brother is torn apart! Everyone’s a cartoon, with Lugosi faring the best out of everyone. I guess because at least his hamminess fits the part of a mad scientist obsessed with bats.
Classic horror-movie connoisseurs may find their interests peaked when they see Bela Lugosi’s name in the credits. If I had to pick, I’d say the horror icon is the best part of this movie but in this case, that doesn’t mean a whole lot. The Devil Bat only lasts 68 minutes, which is one of its strong suits. It may be worth a watch… if you want some laughs. (On DVD, March 18, 2020)

Are there any humans that Luci has felt any genuine form of pity for?
Adam and Eve. He gave them the apple (free will) because he didn't agree with how God made them to have unquestioning loyalty. He wanted them to have the freedom to make their own choices, to learn and grow.
Cain and Abel. He saw himself and his brother in them and sympathised with how God unfairly pitted them against one another to prove their loyalty/faith. Their tragic story hit a little too close to home for him.
Dave Lee. Because Dave reminds him of a brother he lost a long time ago. Dave is currently the only human he genuinely deeply cares about/for.
There have been the odd few humans he was friends with from time to time throughout history. But over the centuries, he got more and more distant from them emotionally. He had to in order to go through with his plans. Dave is the only exception.

Is there any cool mim facts.. no specific characters
Ooooo
Some characters are like "cryptids" in a light sense, some of them have specific rumors about them, like Ruth and Thatcher. There's rumors of a woman in the woods with white eyes who's often seen covered in blood, some think she's a ghost, some think she's a killer, either way everyone says to stay away when you see her. People say if you hear someone crying out in the night to not go near the sound, its not a person, it's a dog-like beast that lures people there to kill them.
Sarah + BPS (mainly Sarah) are marked as extremely dangerous by the MCPD. The information is redacted to civillians and lower ranking officers, but its because they're aware of Sarah being a witch and the fact she took out a cop car.
Actually I'll add something I haven't mentioned yet, the real O'Brien is in this au, he doesn't die either, dude got creature'd by Gabriel because it was trying to rope him into helping set off the apocalypse and he wasn't going along with it. He had a few ritual items Gabriel needed and sent them in a package somewhere "safe" (not really realizing he was dooming the recipient of said package, Dave Lee)
