I haven't watched
Nomads of the North yet but I enjoyed
The Shock. In this one, Chaney plays a character that has some redeeming qualities. He plays a cripple who goes back to his old criminal ways just to help out the father of the girl he loves. Lon Chaney was such a talented actor, very different from the usual handsome leading role, usually always playing villains. It's too bad he died when talkies were just starting out. Who knows what would have happened further in his career. Still, he was a king of the silents, especially horror.
