Many have remarked just how spooky and atmospheric the opening scene of "The Vampire Bat" really is. Taken in the context of the year it was produced, we quite agree. Here it is in its entirety. There are a lot of uses for this clip. Let your imagination run wild.

In 1936, director William Cameron Menzies, editor William Hornbeck, and composer Sir Arthur Bliss, pooled their considerable talents and created what is possibly (at least, I think) the most powerful two minutes and 22 seconds ever put on film -- the prophetic montage from Alexander Korda's "Things To Come." It is an exercise in contrasts between war and peace. How can this clip fit into your anti-war project? Let your imagination run away with you.

This is a really old Frankenstein movie made by the Edison corporation. It isn't a very good copy, but any copy is better than no copy. It was originally made in 1910
