Chaney!, Chaney!, Chaney!

All of the available Chaney material is on youtube.  You can watch The Penalty, Shock and many, many more!  Here is The Monster; one we've actually watched in class before, but won't have time for this go round.  This one enters into our "dark house" section of the course (movies centering around the concept of a mystery and a vast, old and creepy mansion). 

"Shadows"

Can't get enough Chaney?  Here's another film we won't have time to watch in the course, but you should check out.  Watch the "Man of A Thousand Faces"!

"London After Midnight"


Since we are missing class, and for those of you paying attention, here is a posting of the "recreated" London After Midnight, with Lon Chaney.  You'll recall that I lectured in class about this film, which was destroyed in a fire.  No remaining copies exist, but here is a re-creation using various shots and stills. 

Enjoy!
