Facts about

In many of the scenes where the Hunchback was climbing down it was not Lon Chaney but stuntman Joe Bonomo, who did much stunt work for Universal and later was a prominent bodybuilder.
In order to prepare himself for the role of Quasimodo, Lon Chaney held interviews with people who suffered from various physical deformities. His makeup was so masterful for its time that many film patrons believed that the actor playing the title character truly appeared in real life as he did on film.
Over 750 technicians worked on this film, including 105 electricians. Carpenters and masons constructed the cathedral set, which remained standing until destroyed by fire in 1967.
