TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The movie won Worst Picture at the Hastings Bad Cinema Society's 2nd Stinkers Bad Movie Awards in 1979.

Columbia Picturres spent a sizable portion of the film's budget hiring Oscar winning special effects master Carlo Rambaldi (E.T. and the 1976 remake of King Kong) to create "believeable, terrifying bats," since they realized that would be the key to the film being a box office hit. What they got for their money were creatures that looked exactly like what they were - battery powered, rubber bats mounted on poles that were incapable of looking or moving anything like actual bats. As a result, the film proved to be a major disappointment.

The only ever horror movie theatrical feature picture of film director Arthur Hiller.

Debut theatrical feature film of actress Kathryn Harrold who portrayed Anne Dillon.

The name of the indigenous native North American Indian tribe in the film is "Meskwaki".

Popular Dialogues

"Abner Tasupi: The winged animals are Yehwah's messengers"

"Youngman Duran: It just doesn't seem natural for a man to spend his life, his entire life, killing bats. Phillip Payne: Not just bats. Vampire bats. I kill them because they're evil. There's a mutual grace and violence in all forms of nature; and each specie of life gives something in return for its own existence. All but one. The freak. The vampire bat alone is that specie. Have you ever seen one of their caves? Youngman Duran: No. Phillip Payne: I killed over 60,000 of them last year in Mexico. You really understand the presence of evil when you go into their caves. The smell of ammonia alone is enough to kill you. The floor of the cave is a foul syrup of digested blood. And the bats: up high, hanging upside down, rustling, fighting, mating, sending constant messages, waiting for the light to fade, hungry for blood, coaxing the big females to wake up and flex their nightwings to lead the colony out across the land, homing in on any living thing; cattle, sheep, dogs, children, anything with warm blood. And they feast, drinking the blood and pissing ammonia. I kill them because they're the quintessence of evil. To me, nothing else exists. The destruction of vampire bats is what i live for."
