Happy Halloween! Last year I believe I posted the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera, so here is the Lon Chaney movie The Unknown. I was surprised at how much of a hit (well for my channel) it was, because the movie is not too hard to get, it's on DVD. Lon Chaney is a circus performer who pretends he has no arms for some reason (I think he's a criminal and that's part of his disguise) and it works out well for him because fellow circus performer Joan Crawford doesn't like men putting their arms on her. So he decides to get his arms actually chopped off, cause he's an idiot apparently. But it's a pretty weird/good movie, and has a great performace from Lon Chaney, as usual. Also directed by Tod Browning, who directed "Freaks".
