Since its this month, I honor Lon Chaney and Jr
 

One of the rare father and son greats imo.

Chaney sir was one of the great silent film stars and one of the horror legends. The Hunchback, The phantom, Man of 1000 faces. By the time of his passing in 1930, he was a silent legend, and when Jr got his start in acting, he had a VERY large shadow to crawl out of, one I don't think he ever did in life. But Jr became one of the horror icons of the 40's with the wolf man series. And sadly he was type cast because of that role, BUT he did became a legend in his own right.

Cant really compare silent vs talkies. But both men push the horror gene to the next level imo. I still loved the first Wolf man to this day.

And in the end, both were icons of this gene.
