Thanks for the comments. But THE UNHOLY THREE is with Chaney. not Karloff.
Seems like Browning did a series of films with Chaney.

It seems, from reading up a bit, that THE CROWD and THE UNKNOWN are some
kind of classics. The others also seems interesting, especially early work
of Vidor and DAS WACHSFIGURENKABINETT, which features a veritable
'hall-of-fame' of early German film personalities (it has, in addition to
the people I have mentioned, a script by Henrik Galeen, the director of
ALRAUNE, and the much better THE STUDENT OF PRAGUE).

I will probably go! Additionally, the City of Munich is a wonderful
place...
