The Bat (1959)

Mystery writer Agnes Moorehead has rented a home for the summer in a town currently being menaced by a murderer known as The Bat. During the same time period, local bank president Harvey Stevens confesses to his physician Vincent Price that he has stolen over 1 million dollars from his bank. I’m not shy about my love for Vincent Price films and he’s good here, but it’s really Moorehead’s film. As The Bat terrorizes her household, she must suss out their identity and it’s easy to see her performing such acts in a serial a la Murder She Wrote.
