Title: Chaney Jr. odds and ends
Post by: typhooforme on December 23, 2007, 10:25:38 PM
We're turning up some interesting Chaney memorabilia in this section (see the very cool candid of Lon HHWolfman posted in HEAVEN thread)--here are a couple odds and ends from my collection.  These are old photos, taken by an old dying camera 3 yrs ago, so I apologize for the poor quality:

A piece of studio paperwork from '37.  I have no memory of where I got this, but at the time I thought it was kind of cool.

Not Chaney's own copy, but an original copy anyhow of the Inner Sanctum PILLOW OF DEATH...

And a page inside the above script, showing line changes...

Harry, How about sticking your candid of Lon over here, too?  We'll put a few more Lon things here--I'm sure you've got a trunk full!

Purchased from a good UMA buddy--here is a plaster life mask of Lon from Don Post's workshop.  You can just make out the vertical demarcation line down the forehead/nose/lip/chin.

And from the original Don Post mold for the A&C MEET FRANKENSTEIN Wolf Man appliance...a new latex pull.  It fits Lon's face like a glove (so to speak!):

Oh my gosh, I totally didn't realize that Typhooforme was you, Robert!  I was meaning to mention that your David Manners article was astounding, fascinating.   Loved it.

Sorry, Rodd!  When I came here, I dropped the old name and began using the name I use on the Peter Cushing group and others.  Didn't the Chaney mask and appliance photograph well!  I love it.  Some luck UMA person is going to be really pleased with the Grab-Bag!
