Phantom Of The Opera (Silent) DVD

Mary Philbin, Lon Chaney, Norman Kerry

Lon Chaney's stunningly memorable performance as a terribly deformed phantom with a soft spot for music and a beautiful singer make this film a truly unforgettable cinematic experience worthy of being called a quintessential horror film. As a man forced to hide beneath shadows and masks. Erik, the so-called phantom of the opera, becomes enchanted by the singing of the beautiful Christine and falls in love with her; however, as in all great melodramas, love is not an option for the physically grotesque. After pining for his love, Erik can wait no longer to possess her. He kidnaps Christine and holds her hostage in his secret, underground lair. With lavish production values and spectacular sets, the creepy, ghostly world of the phantom strikes a chord with your consciousness, and never lets you go.
