American silent films of horror, fantasy and the grotesque, often built around the make-up artistry of Lon Chaney, from The Phantom of the Opera and The Unknown to adaptations of Stevenson, Hugo and Conan Doyle. A work belongs here when its article calls it an American silent horror, fantasy or thriller film. Works are placed by what their cited article states about their country, form and period, and each work sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a film that fits two traditions goes where its article places it first.
