Name that movie (off-off-topic)

Ok, as I said, it was a sneaky question, the answer is......................None. Maxx never did another movie. In fact, there are no records of Maxx's existence before or after the movie. That, along with the fact that Maxx wasn't really wearing much make-up in the film (he naturally was that unpleasant looking) lead to the rumor/myth that he really was a vampire. These myths were the basis for the 2001 movie "Shadow of the Vampire" with John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe.

I wonder if that was even his real name, or a stage name. "Schrek" is the German word for "fright" or terror.

Geez.. now he's even creepier. I remember reading that the natives of the town the film was made in were very superstitious about him

Metropolis was a weird movie. I like old silent movies though.

Yes, so do I. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is another creepy one.

But nothing tops Nosferatu on the creepiness scale. Another one that looks like it would be creepy is London After Midnight with Lon Chaney, but no known copies of the film survive, just still photographs.

I'll have to check those out.

Lon Chaney had a lot of talent.. it's too bad that one movie didn't make it.

He did one called The Unknown where he plays a criminal hiding out in a circus as an armless knife thrower. Chaney spent weeks with his arms strapped behind his back, learning to eat and drink with his feet to play the role. Definitely worth checking out.

I already stumbled across that one on my search. Definitely want to check that out.

Here's one:


"You just shot an unarmed man."

"Well he should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend."

Clint Eastwood in "the unforgiven"
