THUNDER, STARRING LON CHANEY

THUNDER was the last silent film that starred "The Man of a Thousand Faces," Lon Chaney.

“The 1929 audiences were up on their feet and cheering Chaney
at the exciting climax of Thunder.” -Chauncey Haines, Silent Film Organist

In THUNDER, Chaney plays a role outside the horror genre for which he had become famous. As Grumpy Anderson, he appears as an old workhorse of a train engineer, who is nearing retirement.

Lon Chaney's health was failing during the shoot, and for the first time in his career, he held up production while he recuperated. During production, a piece of artificial snow used in one scene lodged in his throat and caused an infection that led to his untimely death at age forty-seven on August 26, 1930. THUNDER is considered a "lost" film. Only a few fragments exist.

THUNDER was based on a novel published in 1930 in France. This new edition and has been translated into English by Eric McNaughton.
