What is a post about Ray Bradbury doing on a silent-film blog?
It's a tribute. As most, if not all, of you know, Mr. Bradbury has passed away. I began to read his stories and books at an early age, and I've been hooked ever since. He wrote of one of his early influences, Lon Chaney, especially in his most famous role, that of Eric in The Phantom of the Opera. I own The Lon Chaney Collection, in which Bradbury speaks of Chaney's characters - that he typified the things in us we felt could never be loved; the fear that nobody, ever, could love us.
Spread a little stardust upon us, Mr. Bradbury.
