  • Removable cape, top hat, lantern, and additional accessories
  • Premium articulation and period-accurate costume
  • Collector-friendly packaging with artwork inspired by rare film stills and promotional material

This figure is a love letter to horror’s silent era—and a ghost story come true for fans.

Character Legacy – Professor Edward C. Burke

In London After Midnight, Inspector Burke poses as a vampire to solve a mysterious death. His disguise—complete with distorted teeth and bulging eyes—became one of Lon Chaney’s most iconic and unsettling looks.

The Lost Film – London After Midnight (1927)

Directed by Tod Browning (Dracula, Freaks), London After Midnight was lost in the 1965 MGM vault fire. What survives are still images and its terrifying legend. Chaney’s grotesque appearance inspired generations of horror imagery.
