Press Releases and Film News / The original ending to Dracula...

Seems like they've found the original long lost Edward Sloan epilogue where Van Helsing gives his "After all, there are such things!" monologue.
It doesn't have all the sound to it, but people thik they can combine that with what Universal already has to make the thing complete.

Good Movies / Re: London After Midnight
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 06:57:32 AMSame here.
The "remarkable" thing about LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT is that, as recently as the the mid-to-late 80s, I insist this film was not "lost". Okay, my insistence is a bit extravagant, but. My Dad used to order free catalogs for movies on 8mm (yes) and VHS/BETA... back in the day when you could purchase them directly from a wholesaler for some fee. There were hundreds of 8mm prints you could buy, probably some 16mm too. We never ordered any - he just knew I liked reading about old movies and these catalogs had synopsis of all the films and cast info, running times, etc.
LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT used to show up in these catalogs!
I recall no hyperbole in the description to the effect of "This is the last known surviving copy of this film!" or "This is a short recreation using stills or anything." They were selling complete movies. No one seemed to care about LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT specifically - except me, 'cause I thought the synopsis sounded awesome, and probably the promo image of Chaney. But I didn't ever order a copy of it - or of anything else. (I remember one catalog made a HUGE deal out of the silent film SPARROWS... which has survived and I've seen it.)
Anyway... on occasion I've fallen down the internet rabbit hole on LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. One thing it seems no one has tried to do is search "the archives" of old movie wholesalers....... though I imagine this is because those places all went out of business 35+ years ago around the advent of Blockbuster and maybe literally threw out or destroyed all their stock.
But FWIW, LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT was A Thing that still existed in our lifetimes.......
