Una cittadina di provincia americana è terrorizzata da giganteschi pipistrelli succhiatori di sangue; si scoprirà che il colpevole di tutto è uno scienziato pazzo che perpetra la sua vendetta contro alcuni industriali che hanno sfruttato le sue scoperte. Un classico dell’orrore in bianco e nero, interpretato da Bela Lugosi, icona del cinema horror anni ’40. Datato, poco adatto al pubblico moderno.
