Rupert Julian’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
(1925, 78 min)
Lon Chaney’s Phantom isn’t just scary — he’s unforgettable. Haunting the Paris Opera, crashing the grand Bal Masque in scarlet robes, and scheming through every shadow, he dominates the stage and your imagination. Romance, suspense, and theatrical chaos collide, amplified by hand-colored sequences and dazzling visuals that pop off the screen. Every corner of the opera house hides danger, mischief, or drama, and the tension keeps building. Gothic, creepy, and mesmerizing, The Phantom of the Opera is suspense, spectacle, and romance rolled into one, proving that silent cinema could be wild, daring, and endlessly entertaining.
