Direct from the pages of Weekly World News, Bat Boy is a “comedic/horror romp” about a half boy/half bat creature who is discovered in a cave near Hope Falls, West Virginia. Brought to the home of the town veterinarian, he is accepted by the family, learns to behave “normally,” and falls tragically in love with the vet’s teenage daughter. Or is it so tragic? See what happens when bat/boy meets vet/babe!
