{"product_id":"the-bat-1","title":"The Bat","description":"The Bat, a master criminal terrorizing the city wearing a fearsome bat costume, sets his sinister sights on the eerie Fleming mansion. Within the walls of this spooky house, a bank robber has stashed $20,000 in stolen loot. Leasing the mansion is the wealthy Cornelia Van Gorder, along with her niece Dale. Dale's fiance, Brooks Bailey, a cashier at the bank, becomes the prime suspect in the robbery investigation. After the bank president is found dead, a group of house guests search the mansion for clues to the whereabouts of the missing fortune and the identity of The Bat. They set a trap for the mysterious killer, but the master criminal manages to escape with the money.Based on the famous play by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, \u003ci\u003eThe Bat\u003c\/i\u003e is renowned for its expert use of miniatures and striking set designs by William Cameron Menzies. In 1930, Roland West skillfully remade the film as a talkie, \u003ci\u003eThe Bat Whispers.\u003c\/i\u003e Vincent Price starred in yet another version of \u003ci\u003eThe Bat\u003c\/i\u003e in 1959. West, an innovator of movie-making techniques in the silent era, also made \u003ci\u003eThe Monster\u003c\/i\u003e in 1925 with legendary silent star Lon Chaney. Along with the 1927 classic, \u003ci\u003eThe Cat And The Canary\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bat\u003c\/i\u003e is highly regarded as a prototype for the haunted house film genre that flourished in the '30s and '40s.","brand":"Alpha Video","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":45799857127574,"sku":"089218447098","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/9621\/5446\/files\/089218329691.jpg?v=1767131273","url":"https:\/\/moviezyng.com\/products\/the-bat-1","provider":"Movie Zyng","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
