London After Midnight
Lon Chaney in a great Scotland Yard mystery
Directed by Tod Browning
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A Gothic mystery built on paranoia and the uncanny, where sinister tenants and a five-year-old death create an atmosphere of dread and supernatural suspicion.
The abandoned Balfour House, the owner of which was found dead five years earlier, comes back to life with the arrival of two suspicious sinister-looking tenants. This film was lost in the 1965 MGM vault fire; only a few stills exist.
