Lon Chaney Sr's Hunchback is, without the best (as is his Phantom of the Opera). Lon chaney suffered alot of pain in his movies due to the special effects. He wore a leather harness that forced him to remain hunched over - he couldn't stand up if he had to. The rubber suit (along with the harness) that he wore in "Hunchback" weighed 70 lbs. The teeth that he used were so painful to wear, he could only keep them in for short periods of time.
On a side note: He used wire hoops under his eye lids to make his eyes bulge out for "Phantom".
Can you imagine todays actors going through that sort of pain just for the makeup and effects?
