That rumor ended fast. Its the usual bullcrap that seems to happen every other eyar  regarding this lost film. Grrrrrrrrrr..... >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

At this point, I almost hope they don't find the film. The lore behind it is probably more impressive than the film (which could be a major letdown). I'll settle for the legend.

I hope no one ever finds any kind of critter that people decide must be a "real" Bigfoot. 

The Loch Ness Monster is too cool a legend to want to ever be put on display at Marine World.

(But, I would like to see the complete "London After Midnight" film.)

Why did they put those fake "rain scratches" over a series of still pictures? Just to annoy people?

While I've no doubt that LAM isn't the classic I've imagined it to be, my enthusiasm will never wain.  I would pay a good price to see it, let alone own a copy, & I can't help feeling the smallest glimmer of hope every time this--albeit annoying--rumor mill rears it's head.

Yep. I like a little mystery in my world!

I'm of two minds on this matter. Would I like to see London After Midnight? Absolutely. Do I think that it will live up to the expectations time has built up for it? Most likely not. Hell, I'd even settle for seeing Mark of the Vampire at this point as a nice middle ground. While it's a shame to have any work of art lost, time may have built it too far up for us.

Mike, that film is not hard to see.

I saw a comment from a person on the Chaney Facebook Fan Page who helped to restore these stills.
Don't dismiss these still's as "bull" and such. Yes, I know it is such a major let down but still. These stills they found are still important. Even if no still actually includes the "Vampire" character.

I haven't been able to find it for any kind of reasonable price and it's not available for digital rental on any platform I'm familiar with as far as I know. I get get it in a multi-pack on Amazon for $60 or what looks to be a bootleg on eBay for under $10.

If all ya wanna do is watch it, here ya go. Enjoy. She has a lot of other coolie ghoulies too. This film is a fave of mine, although many hates it.

You can get the whole set very cheaply. Here's an eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOLLYWOOD-LEGENDS-OF-HORROR-HOLLYWOOD-LEGENDS-OF-HORROR-COLLECTION-3-DVD-NEW-/401254194216?hash=item5d6c9d1c28:g:sYEAAOSw5cNYbQGj



It's a fun horror flick with an ending that attempted to be clever but I think it failed. Enjoy the movie and ignore the lame "reveal" at the end.  ;)

The ending of "London After Midnight" I understand is pretty much the same as "Mark of the Vampire", except for the Vampire and the Detective not being the same person.  I consider it like a Scooby Do ending, because MGM was not willing to do a film that was Supernatural.  Even in "The Wizard of Oz", they decided Dorothy's trip to Oz, was a delusion caused by her being knocked out.  I would love to see "London After Midnight" if it ever surfaces, but a lot of people are going to be disappointed when they actually see the movie.
