The Bat (1926) β€” a silent horror classic that inspired everything from haunted house films to Batman's design. Shadows, secrets, and suspense in a gothic mansion. A must-watch for horror history buffs! πŸ¦‡ #TheBat1926 #SilentHorror #ClassicHorror #GothicCinema
Think this fella looks kind of like how we've all felt at some point or another over the past couple of years ...

@analgesicsleep Mysterious doors opening either means the mad scientist / Satanists are active, or those kids are meddling with the bookshelf secret passage; never good in any case!

Vaguely related fan art! Here's a few drawings of Vincent Price inspired by the 1959 remake of The Bat!

@analgesicsleep Salute! Always blown away by the extensive filmographies early actors had; then generally saddened by the thought of how much of it was lost. Also on the subject, I would love to see some modern documentary work on silent film scream queens; crossing my fingers, Jacqueline Stewart!

With this geat gothic mansion set, I keep half expecting one of these characters to open a door and find Lon Chaney or Lionel Barrymore in drag performing Pre-Code era mad science ...
