Story:
The phantom of the opera is a mad composer, who lives in the subterranean world below Paris.
He hides his grotesque appearance with a mask and a cloak, and he haunts the Paris Opera House by lurking in the shadows.
The story is based on the gothic fiction novel of the same title, first published in 1909, written by French author Gaston Leroux. Would you like to read the book?
Decades later, it still retains its ability to scare — and Lon Chaney’s performance remains one of the benchmarks of the horror genre.
