It’s no wonder the town would meet together to find out what happened. If we look at our current source of information during a accident or tragedy the only thing that has changed is the speed of the information and how we interact or react to that information. I can remember when the information needed to be validated by the local news. Today in 2023 it’s the opposite…if it’s information coming from the local news we need to validate by going to the source or getting as close as possible to the source.
Very creepy,and gothic picture,....it reminds me of the original...DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN PICTURE,....dark,sinister good old black and white......I love it.
I love that the hunchback's proposed 'remedy' for his master's muderous, unwitting vampirism is basically taking him on a vacation with "new faces, new places." Sure, a week in Lake Tahoe, some sunshine, a few drinks and a fun night at the craps tables and he'll be a new fiend...I mean, man. Haha.
Portions of this film were filmed at the famous "Bronson Caves" on N. Bronson Ave. in Hollywood. I grew up in Hollywood and know them well. The "caves" is actually one short cave with three openings and was man-made to be used by the studios back in the silent era. The caves have appeared in hundreds of movies and television shows. They also made an appearance in the original "Body Snatchers". The caves are accessible from the street and are not part of a studio. The caves were carved out of a pit-like area and are surrounded by high sandstone walls. And every year the fire dept. has to rescue hikers who climb up those steep walls only to find that they can't get back down.
Great watch! Cant get enough of old school horror and sci fi! Truley a lost art of filmmaking... thanks for the uploads, my little ones enjoy em as well " when I can slow em down long enough to watch " ! Semper fi
The very first "sympathetic vampire" movie that inspired Dan Curtis or the writers of Dark Shadows after the fan mail starting coming in for Jonathan Frid.
I've seen this movie many, many times; I'm 69. But at the end, now, I'm crying for Professor Kristan and Zan. Both victims of an evil old as time. This story has affected me terribly. I am so sad.
@@armandito9735Oh,I just like doing something different " 4" the variety,after all," variety is the spice of life" as the cliche goes.Also,I may have been thinking I was on Twitter and had to be aware of 126 characters.I hope you have a good Thanksgiving.
I think the older woman in the scene at 8:35 looks to be the same woman who played the crazy sister in The Old Dark House which is one of my favorite old time horror movies. Love these old atmospheric black and white films. This one could have had a little better lighting or maybe it's my old eyes. Thanks, loved it.:o)
I remember as a kid there were 4 movie houses in the town I lived in admission was .15 .20 .25 n .35 cents n we as kids never went to the.35 cent one n the film Directors made low budget movies n so all the actors weren’t paid that much n the cost of living was very economical
I've seen a different version of this movie or very similar, with the hunched back saying Master too. I love these old Classic thillers I have many in those 50 pack and 100 pack boxed movie Collection off Horror/Thriller with the big scary stars.
"And thus always it has been; and thus always it shall be." Hunchbacks have in all ways proved as offending aggravations to observing normals, and so the necessity of the repeating of the True Dictum I here-quote. (All of the above -- imagine as having been said by no-less-than 'The Suave Malevolence' himself -- George Zucco, and you'll have it about right. We only wish that he'd made dozens-more of his unique masterpieces of that genre in which he and he alone had proved so special.)
Invincible was one of those tiny little companies scooped up in the CFI-engineered merger which became Republic. I believe they owned some third-run theaters.
A "fresh take" (considering when the movie was released) on the vampyre legend. Around 40:00 during an announcement to the public: "Go home, stay home, lock your doors..." If he would have added, '...and stay away from strangers," I would have thought this was a new release in 2020, filmed in black & white. Good sauce @PizzaFlix
The vampire needed to go to a girl's college to transform a bunch of beautiful girls into his vampire wives like Dracula had. Without them being a vampire is a drag.
Bed bugs chewed me up so bad a few weeks ago, I thought possibly a bat had gotten to me. The bitten area was bright red on my brown-reddish skin, but it itched like the dickens for 4 or 5 days. Turns out I don't have bed bugs, so they got me somewhere else. Geez. Hope that is the end.
@GaslitWorld f. Melissa B Nothing is worse than bed bugs! If you only got a single bite then it might not have been bedbugs. It could have been a mosquito bite. It's too bad that you don't know where you were attacked, but hopefully you didn't bring the damn thing home with you. Hopefully that's the end of the bug attacks.
Looks like the old Universal village lot from the Frankenstein movies. I mean I heard of low budgets, but busting into Universal at nite to film a few lousy and I do mean lousy scenes.
Interesting early take on the vampire myth. Mischa Auer is the best thing in the film, but then he's always a welcome addition in any movie. Some of the sets are recycled from Universal's BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, which was helpful since this film was shot on such a low budget. On the downside, the dialogue is pretty awful - more fitting for late 19th C melodrama than 30s film. And although she looks good, Maxine Doyle simply isn't a good actress. Then again, Russell Gleason as Frank isn't much better.
Always love to watch Mischa Auer. That guy was a workaholic! In the years 1931 thru 1933 alone, he worked in 47 movies. That's 1.3 movies per month!
You know it's going to be good when the angry villagers gather with their torches.
😅👍
👋😂👍
You're right about that!!! Got to love it!!!👍👻
Indeed

"Swooning" was a thing back then. I think I might swoon over the dialog in this film. Love these old movies though. Thank you.
I love the classic scary movies they're the best because they don't cuss in them and it's a storyline to it
And no women with tattoos
So, any old movie is "classic." You've made it into a cheap term.
Now, this is entertainment!! old mansions boo in the dark LOVE it!!!! Thanks!!!
A great vampire movie with morals. Greatly acted and made 😢❤
Truly engrossing story line, and credible acting. Thank you for posting this old gem.
The formality of speech in this flick is a marvelous specimen of the time's entertainments itself; as if from a gothic novel.
I love the old vampire movies
old mansions, old books, old professors. bats...nothing like Gothic horror in B&W...
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words!!!
Isn't it a lovely film Marc?
Very creepy,and gothic picture,....it reminds me of the original...DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN PICTURE,....dark,sinister good old black and white......I love it.
Armandito I hope you're having a nice summer

And he'll have new prey. Keep him in a 24 hour casino. With the lighting they have he should be safe from himself.
Really good, classic vampire movie with a twist😊 With a title like this I was compelled to watch it, and I was not disappointed 👍
Also, I totally agree with Elisabeth below, but I didn't want to put any spoilers in my comment.
Awesome classic movie! Thank you for uploading it. I enjoyed this movie 💕

You're all wet. They were chopped out to supply stone for street paving. You can look it up on Wikipedia, for Pete's sake.
Mischa Auer was one of the great Hollywood character Actors, not well remembered these days.
Love this gothic creepy feeling 🎥,even better with lovely Miss Doyle😍

Thanks for watching PizzaFLIX! Please subscribe. May the Sauce be with you.
Ooh Rah 🇺🇲

Thank you Pizza Flix you always put out good stuff
Good Classic Movie!! Thank You.
Ralph Morgan's brother was Frank Morgan who played the wizard in The Wizard of Oz. Both played in a lot of films in the 30s and 40s.
THANK YOU FOR THAT BIT OF TRIVIA
Thanks for clearing that up. I thought that Ralph Morgan was the Morgan who played the Wizard.
The saddest vampire movie ever. Poor man. It wasn’t his fault
and poor loyal Zan

This dialog had me swooning so much I turned into a fiend!
A Most different movie& ending! It seemed a bit drawn out to me,tho I stuck w it& watched it to the finale.Thanks PizzaFlix4 showing it!
what's the big problem with writting the word ......for......instead of the number ....4....?
+Armandito I got this movie on DVD and was thinking about remastering it to put on RUclips.

Everybody be swooning 😂
Even with energy saving light bulbs my electric bills are higher now after watching this movie.
Great film!
There should have been a rule that all vampire films had to have Bela Lugosi either as a vampire or in some role. lol! This film was very good. 🦇🧛♂️
Zan had a hunch that Paul would be caught swooner or later! Thankfully for Marguerite it was only a flesh swooned...
funny.......i think.
😄😆
"They beat it off........but the harm was already done."
Love this movie. I watch it over n over.
Pretty good old movie !

The actress in The Old Dark House is Eva Moore. This is a different woman.
@@DavidSmith-sb2ix My mistake, thanks for the info.:o)
I took her to be the old spinster from The Vampire Bat.
@@Reader-Copy I know I've seen the movie but I'd have to look it up. Thanks :o)
"Have a potato."
Odd that it’s a vampire film. It’s more like Jekyl and Hyde.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with a vampire twist.
Another great 👍 one
Whole lotta swooning going on - great film, don't make 'em like this no more!
Thank god.
AWESOME THANK YOUI!
That musical theme at 18:00 was used in lots of old movies in the 30s and 40s.
An "INVINCIBLE PICTURES CORP." production; Maury M. Cohen producer!
As given all that, HOW could it have missed?
The correct answer?
It didn't!!!

Not cheap but Treasures of course! @garryferrington811

Did they cast the tallest person as the hunchback?
Mortal you're a fool gaze into my eyes, count Dracula
Whole lot of swoons going on ....
Aww that's no Fiend. 😭
I agree.
For whom does the bell toll? Perhaps for all those who swoon, because there be a whole lot of swooning and a whole lot of tolling!
Let us drink ale and praise Margaret's beauty. My dear I just saw a bat fly into your dress , you'll have to take it off quickly hahahah
DRACULA LORD OF THE UNDEAD IS THE BEST VAMPIRE
A piece of music during film remember it was used in The Vampire Bat film.
Condemned to live thought not bad at all, idea of story olay!
50:22
"...I'm not quite myself."
Uhhh...I guess not!
Not on the good chair! On the Bench!!!
That girl is a total airhead!
I was thinking the same thing!
What happened to the bat, after the natives 'beat it off?'
I knew someone would catch that.
It went blind and grew hair on its palms !!
@fleetlordavtar :()
It had a cigarette.
It came
Let's see, which of the villagers is the vampire?? Maybe the one with the hunchback assistant LOL

Beginning of film , what a wimpy woman couldnt stand the dreams oh dear!!
I bet he'd love to see her garden and pop a few MILLION seeds in it
VAMPRIE BATS ARE AS GIANT SPIDERS IN THE JUNGLE
Not that good of a movie especially for a vampire movie silly and dumb movie
Worst piece of crap I've seen in over twenty years, no wonder it's never shown on TV.
Standards change with the times, grow up. If you don’t like it, don’t watch.
Scoffs. That ending was bad 👎
