Comment/Synopsis
A bat flies into a castle turns into a man who then conjours up a creature and a woman and then fights a soldier by turning into different forms. Although considered by some as the first horror film with the bat motif becoming common in later vampire films, to the original audiences is was more likely to be comic and fantasy.
