My Dwight Frye fixation is low-key an obsession now and I don't know how to feel.

Anyways, who wants to ask for my headcanons about a random character of his :3

Words cannot describe how cute I find Dwight Frye

[spiders-rob]

Watched "The Vampire Bat" for Dwight Frye and holy shit this slaps. It's good. It's interesting. The acting is great from everyone not just Frye. And SPOILERS BELOW

It subverts the common horror thing of "ooh the mentally ill guy did it". The bad guy deliberately frames the mentally disabled/ill guy, Herman. (who is played by Frye btw). Herman is actually just a perfectly sweet guy who loves bats! He doesn't hurt anybody! The horror comes from the gullible mob hunting him down over superstition while the actual bad guy scapegoats him! I'm gonna be bitter forever that The Vampire Bat isn't better known today!

"The Vampire Bat"

You can see the scene from the photos above in the 1933 movie "The Vampire Bat",this is an interesting movie worth knowing about.

Before watching the film, I was skeptical about this production, but it captivated me with its plot, even though it is not particularly developed. of course, it is worth knowing the actors who played the main roles, so we will see Fay Wray, Lionel Atwill, Melvyn Douglas and Dwight Frye on the screen.

It is not a popular film, but it is worth the viewer's attention with good actors whom you will recognize from other cult horror films.

Certainly, if you have watched films such as "Frankenstein" or "Dark House", then the set of "The Vampire Bat" will you not be for strangers. This procedure was aimed at saving as much as possible, which is why the film was shot mostly at night.

Although the film is in black and white, selective hand coloring was used to highlight the torch flames seen in the chase scene. In copies restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, this was simulated through digital enhancement. I had to include this interesting fact here because these flames intrigued me very much.

time for a summary.

When the villagers of Klineschloss start dying of blood loss, the town fathers suspect a resurgence of vampirism. While police inspector Karl remains skeptical, scientist Dr. von Niemann cares for the vampire's victims one by one, and suspicion falls on simple-minded Herman Gleib because of his fondness for bats. A blood-thirsty mob hounds Gleib to his death, but the vampire attacks don't stop.

I must admit that I felt sorry for Hermann.:(

Another Herman doodle for fun

Herman Gleib Headcanons!

He’s illiterate 

He loves to draw, and he tends to draw pictures of bats in the dirt

His name is actually supposed to be spelled “Hermann”, but because he can't read, he doesn't care if people spell it differently

He has a developmental disability and the thought process of a young child

He’s very sensitive to large crowds and loud/overlapping sounds, which is part of why he tends to be alone

His favorite food is apples, particularly the juicy red ones.

He lived with his grandparents when he was really little, and was very sad when they passed away. He would visit their graves every winter and leave a baby bat and some flowers as gifts.
