London After Midnight - A Reconstruction
SILENT CINEMA'S LOST CLASSIC IS BACK!
London After Midnight starring Lon Chaney, is considered a Lost Film. It is still on the top of the AFI and other world wide film organizations "Most Wanted" lists as it was when the first edition of this book was published in 1985.
London After Midnight seen Chaney added not one, but three new faces to his "Thousand Faces" - Inspector Burke of Scotland Yard, Professor Burke of India, and America's first film vampire, The Man in the Beaver Hat. Learn the startling details of the film directed by Tod Browning, who would go on to direct "Dracula" four years later, which was also to star Chaney as the Count, but his premature death in 1930 prevented it.
This new 2011 edition of Philip J. Riley's "London After Midnight: A Reconstruction", is 256 pages where the original printing was only 178 pages. This new edition also contains a foreword by Forrest J. Ackerman and an introduction by the film's Art Director A. Arnold (Buddy) Gillespie; interviews with David S. Horsley, ASC and by Carroll Borland, who played Luna, the vampire girl in the 1935 remake entitled, Mark of the Vampire. Also the script is presented in its original form. Also included are many new photographs of vintage posters from around the world and a reformatted reconstruction of the film by the use of photographs, art work, and inter-titles.
Finally, exclusive to this remarkable edition, is the complete 1928 Photoplay novel by Marie Coolidge-Rask, long out of print and highly collectible.
