Chaney clearly devours himself in the textual descriptions in the source material which makes his 'Dracula' an all the more intriguing what if

The backstory in the Leroux novel (which Chaney most assuredly read) seems to me a melodramatic version of Merrick's own early life: disfigured from birth, exhibited as a freak, etc. Now if only Merrick would have designed a torture chamber for a Persian king.

It's pretty typical of his style from the middle of the decade, by which point his designs seemed to have become utterly divorced from the idea of showing something that might actually be representative of the movie being advertised. By way of comparison, here's his poster from the same year for Murnau's FAUST (both films were released in the Netherlands in 1926): Last Edited By: doctor kiss May 28 11 9:38 AM. Edited 1 times.

As it gets closer, we see that it is the catcher, holding a lantern. He warns the 2 of them to go back and not continue "lest ye parish." Most likely done to keep Chaney's image a surprise and a shock for audiences (or maybe he was prohibited from using Chaney's Phantom face on the poster). Last Edited By: erik1925 May 29 11 9:28 PM.
