the bat (1959)

Cornelia Van Gorder (Agnes Moorehead) is a mystery writer who is trapped in a house, terrorised by a mysterious criminal called The Bat. Following one attack she fears her housekeeper has been bitten by a real bat so she calls in Dr Wells (Vincent Price), who is conveniently researching bats. But there is more to him than that, he knows that there is some money hidden in the house, and he's willing to kill to find it. Can they find out who the bat is before he murders again and can the police find the money before Wells does?
Agnes plays the feisty lady to a tee, in this rather interesting whodunit, which has some nice one liners scattered throughout to ease the tension. Lots of clues are dropped along the way - can you solve who the bat really is before Agnes does?
