Saw this the other day-- Lon Chaney was the man. A neglected classic.

I caught it on the big screen a few years back with a live piano accompaniment. A good time was had by all.

My FIL said that was one of the first films he ever saw. Scared him shitless; he was always up for a horror film.

That's how I saw it too. The guy playing piano got a standing ovation and deserved it.

Was it some Chinese guy from LA? That was who did the screening I went to at a college.

Did your older sister ever take you to see Freaks, the Todd Browning film?
That's the even more creepyist of all time.

Yeah I saw that. Upon uncovering deep seated traumatic repressed experiences, I was able to connect why I was afraid of midgets, women with facial hair and microcephalics. No longer afraid, I just hate them.
