The Shock is a 1923 American silent drama film (a Universal Jewel) directed by Lambert Hillyer and starring Lon Chaney as a disabled man named Wilse Dilling. The film was written by Arthur Statter and Charles Kenyon, based on a magazine story by William Dudley Pelley. This is one of the rare Lon Chaney films in which his character ends up with the female "love interest." The film is readily available on DVD.

Costing only $90,000 to make, the film took in a huge profit for Universal. A lobby card from the film can be seen on the internet, as well as the film's poster art. The film's tagline was "You haven't seen anything yet!"
