One film I have always wanted to see is 'London After Midnight'. Never heard of it ? No surprise. All the copies were burned up in a fire in 1963 at MGM Studios. It was going to become public domain in 2001, but they extended the dead line 17 years just to be sure anyone who could remotely have a copy of it would be dead by then and could not release it onto DVD then since it is truly a "lost classic" starring Lon Chaney and directed by Todd Browning ('Dracula', 'Freaks'). Still not ringing any bells ? Maybe you've seen this guy before from it:
I've got dibs on remaking it then so don't even think it ! LOL
