Jack Pierce - Part Two - The 1940s

Here is part two of the Jack Pierce tribute.  It is the 1940s and Pierce has his work cut out for him.  Get ready for some more behind the scenes make-up madness!

Jack Pierce combing Lon Chaney's yak hair.
"The Wolf Man"

Adding a little more  growth to Lon Chaney.
"Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man"

Lon Chaney is not swollen from a fight.  It's the
early stages of his Wolf Man make-up!
"House of Dracula"

Notice how much of a difference the teeth make.
"House of Dracula"

Adding some sulphur to Lon Chaney.
"Ghost of Frankenstein"

Pierce now stitches up Glenn Strange.

Painting the Monster green?
"House of Dracula"

No project is too big for Jack Pierce!

Wrapping Tom Tyler.
"The Mummy's Hand"

Lon Chaney was allergic to this make-up.
"The Mummy's Tomb"?
"The Mummy's Ghost"?
"The Mummy's Curse"?
(Not sure which film...)

Turning Vicki Lane into an ape.
"The Jungle Captive"

Adding some scars to Claude Rains.
