===1960s===
In the 1960s, Chaney specialised in horror films, such as ''[[House of Terror (1960 film)|House of Terror]]'' (1960), ''[[The Devil's Messenger]]'' (1961) and ''[[The Haunted Palace]]'' (1963), replacing [[Boris Karloff]] in the last of those for [[Roger Corman]].
In January 1962, Chaney appeared in Season 4 episode titled "The Tarnished Badge" of the television show Lawman. Chaney plays Jess Bridges a US Marshal gone bad.  His Deputy was at one time Dan Troop (John Russell).  Bridges redeems himself at the episode's end by saving Deputy Johnny McKay

He was in a Western, ''[[Law of the Lawless (1963 film)|Law of the Lawless]]'' (1963) with [[Dale Robertson]], ''[[Face of the Screaming Werewolf]]'' (1964), ''[[Witchcraft (1964 film)|Witchcraft]]'' (1964), and ''[[Stage to Thunder Rock]]'' (1964).

He starred in [[Jack Hill]]'s ''[[Spider Baby]]'', which was made in 1964 but not released until 1968 and would not attain notoriety until after Chaney's death.<ref>{{cite book |title=Comedy-Horror Films: A Chronological History, 1914-2008 |url=https://archive.org/details/comedyhorrorfilm00hall|url-access=limited |last=Hallenbeck |first=Bruce G.|publisher=[[McFarland & Company]]|year=2009 |isbn=9780786453788|pages=86–87}}</ref> Then it was back to Westerns – ''[[Young Fury]]'' (1965), ''[[Black Spurs]]'' (1965), ''[[Town Tamer]]'' (1966), ''[[Johnny Reno]]'' (1967), ''[[Apache Uprising]]'' (1967), ''[[Welcome to Hard Times (film)|Welcome to Hard Times]]'' (1967) and ''[[Buckskin (film)|Buckskin]]'' (1968). There was also horror, such as ''[[Dr. Terror's Gallery of Horrors]]'' (1967) and ''[[Hillbillys in a Haunted House]]'' (1967).

His bread-and-butter work during this decade was television – where he made guest appearances on everything from ''[[Wagon Train]]'' to ''[[The Monkees (TV series)|The Monkees]]'' – and in a string of supporting roles in low-budget Westerns produced by [[A. C. Lyles]] for [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]. In 1962, Chaney gained a chance to briefly play [[Quasimodo]] in a simulacrum of his father's make-up, as well as return to his roles of the Mummy and the Wolf Man on the television series ''[[Route 66 (TV series)|Route 66]]'' with friends [[Boris Karloff]] and [[Peter Lorre]] (Karloff wore a quickie version of the [[Frankenstein monster]] make-up toward the end of the episode).
