B is for... Bat!

In the tradition started by Otis's Bee-movie Extravaganza last year, and thanks to Walaka's acquistion of The Shaft of Fire That Glows In Yonder West (aka the new projector), we are happy to announce the first of what promises to be regular monthly B-movie nights! In honor (horror?) of Halloween, please join us for

B is for Bat-Movies!

The program is a double feature:

First, the classic 1926 thriller that in all likelihood inspired Bob Kane to create Batman:

The Bat

Based on the play by Mary Roberts Rhinehart, The Bat tells the story of a master criminal who tries to scare some people out of an old, dark house. The trouble is that there are other criminals afoot, and the story becomes a mystery as to who is hiding behind the mask.

The second feature is a piece of pure sixties gold:

The Wild World of Batwoman

In this zero-budget 1966 cheapie, a busty Batwoman enlists her beauteous bevy of Batgirls (when they are not dancing the jerk) to help her regain a mad scientist's invention (an atom bomb made out of a hearing aid) before a costumed ne'er-do-well, Rat Fink, can glom onto it for his own purposes.

Um, yeah.

So, if you're batty enough to want to watch these, join us on the Ridge on Friday, October 28. Be there around 7:00; we'll start the show by 7:30. We'll have soft drinks and popcorn; bring something else if you want to.

Wear something batlike (or bat-esque) or bring a bat-thing for admission!

Let us know via email if you're coming. Here are some batlinks to check between now and then:
