ABOUT THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Audiences gasped and shuddered to their heart's delight while
viewing
the original horror movie, "The Phantom of the Opera." First
released in
1925 as a silent film, it starred Lon Chaney, dubbed "The Man of
a Thousand
Faces," because of his theatrical bag of tricks he employed to
completely
alter his features. In this movie classic, he succeeded through
countless
devices in transforming his face to take on the appearance of a
skull. To
further enhance the drama, the gruesome face of the Phantom was
cloaked
in secrecy; no still photos were allowed to be published until
well after the
release of the film. In fact, it is not until the fifth reel that
he was seen
unmasked.

The bizarre plot revolves around an insane musician seeking
revenge for
his disfigured features by menacing the Paris Opera House, played
so eloquently
by Chaney that it fairly frightened the public out of its wits!

The Paris Opera House of 1880 was thrown into a series of
turmoils by
strange events attributed by the invasion of evil
spirits...actually created by
the mysterious Phantom. His main ambition was to train a
beautiful young
opera singer to achieve the honor of Prima Donna; thus he left
the subterranean
quarters where he made his home to launch a reign of terror.
Maintaining
his horrible secret, he continued his horrendous acts by killing
in unique,
violent methods, climaxing his mad rampage by causing a massive
chandelier
to crash upon an unsuspecting audience. Exercising a spell over
his protege,
he hypnotized the soprano into following him into the catacombs
under the
opera house where, to her utter terror, he tore off his mask!

The lover of the captive singer, falling prey to the Phantom in
his efforts
to rescue her, was forced to endure the torture chamber before
being saved
by an agent of the secret police. The Phantom, in the meantime,
made good
his escape amidst the confusion. In a spine-tingling chase, the
furious mob
captured the fleeing villain who suffered as violent a death as
his victim.
