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 th 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 [sic] series of turmoils by strange events
attributed to 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 efforets
to rescue her, was forced to endure the torture chamber before being saving
[sic] 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
victims." |
