Press Release: July 27th, 2015 --- Denver, CO -- The Chaney family name is synonymous with the history of genre film. They have been entertaining us for decades, portraying classic characters such as the Phantom of the Opera, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, Dracula, and many more. Today, their name is alive and well with Ron Chaney in film roles, such as "Coffin Baby," and "The House of Wolf Man."
To pay tribute to these genre film icons, the Mile High Horror Film Festival welcomes Ron Chaney to this year's festival.
