To Boris With love, MonsterGirl
Happy Belated Birthday to the great Boris Karloff
Laugh though your heart is breaking… Thank You All!
I know I speak for my amazing co-host Fritzi of Movies Silently when I say how utterly grateful we are for the swell turn out to our CHANEY BLOGATHON… There is still so much left to delve into, I’ll be reading and re-reading insightful and entertaining pieces for weeks.
Once again, the blogging community came together to show support, help tout this event, contribute eloquent pieces that tributed both Chaney Sr. and Lon Chaney Jr. Both men who left an indelible mark on our collective consciousness with their unique style of acting not to mention bringing to life characters that will undeniably live on for years to come.
Thank you one and all for being part of this celebration. For taking the time to offer your insights about the actors themselves, the films and performances that remain permanently etched in our hearts and memories.
With love, MonsterGIrl
It’s so sad we’re coming to the end of the program…! Chaney Blogathon Nov.15-18
The Chaney Blogathon Day Four: The finale!
Well, it’s the forth and final day of our celebration of the great CHANEYS! And it’s been quite a turn out.
I’ll be taking it from here as host but my brilliant & witty co-host will be lurking around helping to showcase all the fantastic contributions. We’re so pleased with how the event has gone and grateful to all of you who either contributed, helped tout or chimed in to show love to two memorable men and support us… unflinching Blogathon mistresses’ who pulled this all together!
I want to especially thank Fritzi of Movies Silently for quietly asking me months ago if I’d like to help co-host this event. I was flattered and honored and as excited as Quasimodo hanging from a gargoyle on the side of that Cathedral! Although my hump is much smaller.
So without any further asides from yours truly- Please stay seated as here’s the finale to our Chaney program! As Alonzo the Armless shows us… this is where it all ends… Right Here…
