Actor, writer and
director Crane Wilbur was noted for his terrific screenplays, House
of Wax (1953), He Walked by Night (1948), The
Phenix City Story (1955), to name just a few.
He had been around
forever (beginning at the birth of film during the early silent) — as either an
actor, a director or a scripter — but late in his career (1959) he teamed with
Vincent Price in a reworking of the 1926 Avery Hopwood and Mary Roberts
Rinehart stage play, The Bat. The result: an iconic haunted house classic!
Word arrived this week
that the Film Chest has completed a fully restored (in HD) version of The
Bat from the original 35mm film elements … the DVD will be available
for collector’s to own on Nov. 12.
Start counting the days!
