Long considered the most coveted lost film in cinema history, London After Midnight, starring Lon Chaney, has fascinated film historians and cinephiles since its release in 1927. While no known print survives, its legacy endures through production records, still photographs, and an obscure early script that has preserved the story in its original form.

In The Hypnotist: The Lost Story of London After Midnight, film historian Daniel Titley has assembled the most complete profile yet of silent cinema's most elusive title. Drawing upon rare archival evidence, production history, and newly uncovered material, he traces the evolution of the original story from conception to production, through post-production changes and beyond, offering fresh revelations. This companion volume to his 2022 book London After Midnight: The Lost Film is an essential resource for scholars, horror enthusiasts, and admirers of silent cinema.
