A Never Completed Film: The House at the Last Lantern

The House at the Last Lantern

“Doing some research, I happened to come across a rare cache of stills from a never completed film by Hans Richter [1888-1976] which is possibly the only example of an actual dadaist horror film. It seems the film was a parody of sorts of Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther, but is ostensibly a tale of the life of Gustav Meyrink. The title of the film was to be ‘The House at the Last Lantern’.” – Lanny Quarles

Date of the movie stills unknown, possibly late 1920s. More images with story here.

Stuff I Do When I’m Bored

Some of these are dated, and yeah, that was our experience with The Omigodmicron. The one at bottom right was an experiment – I took an arbitrary section of my recent WebEx Meeting Notes, ran it through a photo-morph and the alien from Planet of the Mufflers appeared.

In 1934, the Farrs were hired by a group called The Pioneer Trio, who renamed themselves Sons Of The Pioneers. The group is still performing, with new members being added as the elders move on.
