Lon Chaney

NIGHTMARES IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE is a documentary feature on the evolution of the American Horror Film based on the book by the same title. It examines the idea that horror films reflect the times and places in which they are made and, at the same time, explores the timeless, universal appeal of horror movies by examining the pervasive theme of 'The Outsider' from the silent films of Lon Chaney to the box office reign of Hannibal Lecter. Narrated by Lance Henriksen with in-depth interviews with many of the nation's greatest horror filmmakers who's observations are illustrated with clips for more than 150 films - ranging from the classic Universal monster movies, to film noir and ground-breaking movies like 'Night of the Living Dead', 'Rosemary's Baby', 'The Exorcist' and 'Jaws' to contemporary slasher movies and beyond.

In his last appearance, Lon Chaney, Jr. stars as one of the screen's most memorable movie monsters: the mummy Kharis from ancient Egypt, who is tormented by his forbidden love for princess Ananka. The trouble begins when mummy Kharis is recovered and transported to Cajun country for study by a bunch of prodding archaeologists. He begins a reign of terror and destruction over the local inhabitants as he renews his search for Ananka's reincarnation. But after the two unite and wreak havoc together, they face a greater threat to their ancient romance than they have ever known - museums!

Abbott and Costello, as railroad baggage clerks, receive a strange shipment - the last remains of Dracula and Frankenstein's monster. But this deadly duo is still very much alive. So when the shipment arrives at the House of Horrors, the Monsters are not in their crates but have disappeared to a secret hideaway island. Blamed for the disappearance, Abbott and Costello follow their trail to the island, where not only do they meet up with Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and the Monster (Glenn Strange), but a Mad Scientist (Charles Bradstreet) who wants to switch Costello's brain with that of the Monster. With everyone chasing each other, the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.) shows up to scare them all. In the end everything works out: Costello finds romance and the Monsters find their final resting places...or do they?
