Lots of old movies (silent and talkies) were aired on television in the fifties as a cheap alternative to original programming. And many theaters re-screened old films as a cost-saving measure of their own. Once Forry Ackerman started Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine in 1958, , a LOT of old horror movies were dusted off and brought back out, as well. I remember the film in question only by reputation as images were featured both in FMoF and in a series of children's books about movie monsters by Scholastic(?) in the 1970's. As much as Schulz referenced television in the strip back then, I think he probably had seen the image there at some point.WesJWeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16495278840552840807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38625371245795065.post-71139534176527557242014-07-09T15:51:04.640-04:002014-07-09T15:51:04.640-04:00In the Halloween mask strip, I think it's wort...In the Halloween mask strip, I think it's worth noting that Panel 7 features a mask that seems to be based on Lon Cheney in the lost film "London After Midnight." It's doubtful Schulz saw it, since it came out in 1927 when he was 5 years old, but pictures of Cheney in this get-up are very frequently reproduced.<br /><br />http://www.doctormacro.com/Images/Chaney%20Sr.,%20Lon/Chaney%20Sr.,%20Lon%20(London%20After%20Midnight)_01.jpgSeeing_Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07678537250333277334noreply@blogger.com
