Will be Shown on Svengoolie on 9 July 2016
House of Dracula (1945) will be shown on Svengoolie on MeTV on Saturday, 9 July 2016, at 9PM central time.
This one features the two gorgeous actresses, Martha O'Driscoll and Jane Adams.
This is also the movie where Lon Chaney, Jr., sports a Clark Gable-like mustache.
This was Chaney's last film under contract to Universal, and they released him after it was finished. He did return in 1948 to do Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, however.
Glenn Strange, who plays The Monster, was one of the few friends that Lon Chaney, Jr., had. When Chaney died in 1973, nobody who had worked with him in Hollywood was willing to do the eulogy at his funeral. Glenn was bedridden with lung cancer, but when he heard about that, he left his bed, went to the funeral, and did the eulogy for his old friend. Glenn himself died about six months later.
Another horror classic from Sven!
