This week: The Bat People (1974)

I am very glad to hear that Batman went woke a full 50 years ago, I don't expect this schlock low budget horror film from the 70s to be at all sexist or racist or anything, nope, it's gonna be just fine I bet

You got about fifteen minutes left until takes over your feed with THE BAT PEOPLE (1974). Set up a filter or cue up the movie and get ready to watch along!

Or do something else. Go fishing or something. Climb a tree, punch a clown, it's a big world out there.
