An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) London After Midnight (released in England as "The Hypnotist"), the 1927 Tod Browning silent Scotland Yard detective murder mystery hypnotism horror thriller ("Sherlock Holmes is good.... but just wait till you see - Lon Chaney in London After Midnight"; "A man of a thousand faces in a great detective thriller!"; "Story by Tod Browning"; Chaney is a detective who is trying to solve a "cold case" murder, and because he is an accomplished hypnotist as well, he is able to hypnotize the principals and have them reenact the crime, which reveals who the murderer was; the vampire part of the movie comes from neighbors who are suspected of having committed the murder because they are vampires, and in the movie's most memorable scene, Chaney disguises himself as a vampire!) starring Lon Chaney Sr. (in his first and only role as a vampire!), Marceline Day, Henry B. Walthall, Percy Williams, Conrad Nagel, Polly Moran, Edna Tichenor, and Claude King. 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. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still, which measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm], has a wonderful image of Lon Chaney in his vampire makeup! Very few stills from this lost movie survive, and few of those show him in makeup. Note that this wonderful still, and several other Lon Chaney Sr. items that are in this Major Auction, were purchased from us over the last few years by a very longtime collector. He has very unfortunately had significant health issues, which has caused him to re-consign these items. This is the same example of this still that we auctioned previously, and it might be many years before we are consigned another still from this movie that has a great image like this one! Condition: very good. There are faint ink smudges in the bottom right corner of the image. This was surely caused by coming into contact with a still laying on top of it, because the stills had printing in the bottom left of the back, which slightly transferred. Otherwise, the still is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
