Movies Silently and The Last Drive In host The Lon Chaney Blogathon


Movies Silently and The Last Drive In invite you to join us in celebrating the careers of Lon Chaney and Lon Chaney, Jr. This versatile father and son managed to create some of the scariest and most iconic monsters in classic Hollywood but their accomplishments sans makeup were just as impressive.

The event will be held November 15-18, 2013 to coincide with the 88th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera. The blogathon is open to CMBA members and non-members alike. We will be featuring reviews, scrapbooks, video tributes and musical tributes. We would love for you to join us in honoring these astonishingly talented men.
