Saw this over at the Universal Monster Army, and had to share it here. How cool would it have been to visit an amusement park AND meet Lon Chaney, Jr., and get his autograph on a Wolf Man photo?
"This home movie from El Paso's Stowe family captures scenes of a trip to Western Playland in Ascarate Park in El Paso, where in addition to the normal rides and attractions that day, actor Lon Chaney, Jr. made a special appearance. While the crowd, mostly of children in Halloween costumes, is excited to meet The Wolf Man and get a signed 8x10 glossy, one small child very clearly wants no part of it at all. Chaney was on hand for a Pre-Halloween party October 17-18, 1964 at the amusement park."
