I find it very interesting that Lon Chaney, an actor was able to pull off makeup jobs all by himself that are as good in many ways to what the field of movie makeup has now. He was a master in two categories, makeup and acting. He is a true legend, some of the stuff that he does in these early movies are just totally classic in every way.

@bassie52 No. He used wire hoops in the eyes sockets. Same thing with his Phantom of the Opera.

@mohawkmad004 In the original movie, lon chaney used monocles.

[BillieJoesGirl06]

Good attempt but the teeth are way too big.

[axeamnas]

@creepsomber yes and he used painful false animal teeth that he could only wear for a few minutes at a time

All visually poor. From the glued "half moon" rubber pieces under this guy's eyes, (Chaney did NOT do this) to the oversized teeth, and even the wig/hair--all incorrect in appearance and application.

Sid Terror discovered it back in 1988. He found it under the title the hypnotist. He made sure it was also named London After Midnight in the vault so someone could find it. He held the film in his hands. He saw the opening title and a still of Lon Chaney. It is still out there.

This info needs to be given to someone with the power to go back into the vault and take it. Soon enough it truly will fall apart.
