"You... You are the Phantom!"
"If I am the Phantom, it is because man's hatred has made me so... If I shall be saved, it will be because your love redeems me."

Release Date: November 15, 1925
Studio: Universal
Director: Rupert Julian
Aspect Ratio: 1.33 : 1
Starring: Lon Chaney, Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry

Plot Summary: At the Opera of Paris, a mysterious phantom threatens a famous lyric singer, Carlotta and thus forces her to give up her role (Marguerite in Faust) for unknown Christine Daae. Christine meets this phantom (a masked man) in the catacombs, where he lives. What's his goal? What's his secret?

COMMENTS?

The month of all hallows eve is coming, and so is Universal's box set of their horror classics. This is the first film on the set, and starts off the series.

So this is the only version of the story I like (unless you count Iron Maiden and Iced Earth's songs). The novel did little for me, and Andrew Lloyd Webber sucks.

The Joel Schumacher was the only one I have seen, and that was seven years ago. I must rectify that.

You like oldddddd-school horror, so you'd probably really enjoy this.

And like Nosferatu and Dr. Caligari, it's public domain, so it's easy to find anywhere.

Yeah, about that. Its actually the Claude Raines version from the 40s that's on the set.

Oh. Meh.

Well, I'll do that one too, but I'll keep this open.
