The Chaneys: Hollywood’s Horror Dynasty

Working in collaboration with Ron Chaney (Lon Jr.’s grandson), "The Chaneys: Hollywood's Horror Dynasty" will examine the lives and work of horror legends Lon Chaney and his son Creighton, known to millions of fans as Lon Chaney Jr.

Each rose to world fame, their films thrilling and terrifying audiences. Each showed versatility beyond the “horror” genre. Yet one is celebrated (with his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame), and the other is often dismissed.

Inspired by Bill Fleck's biography “Chaney’s Baby”, our film offers a dual profile of father and son and seeks to bring a fresh perspective to their lives and careers.

For, while creating so many memorable moments on screen, father and son’s relationship could have easily been the plot-line of one of the elder Chaney’s films of the 1920’s.
