I loved Nosferatu back in the day – I played it to undeath, if you will. To avoid the bats, go down the stairs like you did in the video, but then keep underneath the balcony. Eventually, you should find a dining room with swords on the walls. Grab a sword and hack the bats to death. They shouldn’t respawn. Same with the spider crabs – stomp them into oblivion with your boots and they shouldn’t respawn, meaning you can then drop the boots.
I think I’m going to go back and play it this weekend!

EDIT: You need to have matches in your inventory to light the lamp. I can’t remember where they are, however (In the fire would make sense).

I seem to remember the matches were in the kitchens somewhere. Mind you, it’s been a long time…

I was wrong anyway, it’s somewhere up a ladder in the library.
