P.O.A
Note that this is a “lost movie”, and surely the most famous lost movie there is. Many many people have spent a very long time searching for a print of this movie, and hopefully it will turn up some day! Also, note that this film was remade as Mark of the Vampire in 1935.
London After Midnight (MGM, 1927; presumed lost) Lon Chaney 10″ x 8″ Original Studio Release Photograph
Vintage gelatin silver semi-gloss 8″ x 10″ studio release photograph of Lon Chaney in London After Midnight. Production number 330-122 in India ink in the negative. Considered the most tantalizing of lost films, London After Midnight survives only as still photography. Chaney was unique in manifesting the darker, malignant side of men’s souls, not so often in disguise as completely disappearing into the Other. Creating his own make-up, Chaney’s capped teeth visage sent audiences shrieking, riveted by the repellant magnetism of the hideous demon.
