Worth 1,000 Words: KARLOFF, CHANEY & LORRE display their roots via new route

By Steve Crum

A (probably) colorized pic of the cast of “Wizard’s Leg and Owlet’s Wing,” a memorable Route 66 episode that aired Oct. 26, 1962. For the record, we are looking at (back row) George Maharis, Boris Karloff, Martin Milner…and (front) Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney Jr.


A colorized screen grab (above) finds the three horror movie vets scurrying down a motel corridor. 







Another scene includes Chaney arising from a casket in full Mummy wrapping. 








Boris Karloff gets made up (for the very last time) as Frankenstein’s monster in preparation for the 1962 episode.









The 3 ghouls observe how they have created widespread terror as they gaze over a motel balcony.
