Route 66 "Lizard's Leg And Owlet's Wing"
"Tod and Buz are excited to be working at a Chicago hotel which is hosting a women's convention.
Also staying at the hotel are the famous horror film actors. The actors are debating whether their
traditional horror film characters can still scare modern audiences.
The actors test their ideas on the conventioneers."

Guest stars
The roster of guest stars on Route 66 includes several actors who later went on to fame, as well as major stars on the downward side of their careers. One of the most historically significant episodes of the series in this respect was "Lizard's Leg and Owlet's Wing." It featured Lon Chaney, Jr., Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff as themselves, with Karloff donning {a crude version of} his famous Frankenstein monster make-up for the first time in twenty-five years and Chaney reprising his role as the Wolfman. The show was filmed at the O'Hare Inn, near O'Hare Airport, Chicago. Dutch singer Ronnie Tober had a small guest role with Sharon Russo, Junior Miss America

The show was shot in black and white....but color stills were taken on/off the set.

I have this on VHS. Haven't watched it in years. Time to dig it out, perhaps.
