The Phantom of the Opera
1925 · TMDB 7.1
Directed by Rupert Julian
The deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House causes murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star.
Why it matters
Lon Chaney's Erik haunts the Palais Garnier beneath a mask, and the unmasking remains one of the silent era's most violent images of a performer's ruined face. Rupert Julian directs the horror as a story about an artist who cannot be looked at.
