39 The Vampire Bat ( 1933 )
This was an opportunistic film by Majestic Pictures using sets borrowed from James Whale and the tried and trusted players Atwill, Wray and Frye.
Vampires are apparently responsible for a number of deaths in a German village although the young inspector Karl Brettschneider ( Melvyn Douglas ) is sceptical. The real culprit turns out to be a mad doctor ( Atwill ) who is draining blood from the victims to feed a new organism he has created which looks like a squirming Yorkshire pudding. It's not bad I suppose but Fay Wray is the only reason to watch it more than once.
Fay Wray ( as Ruth Bertin )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
