About this product
A forerunner of the American horror film, and one of the most lavish productions of the silent cinema, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has inspired countless remakes and imitations. But none of it's successors can rival the mesmerizing blend of romance and mystery that haunts every frame of the Lon Chaney original. This edition presents the 1929 theatrical version, restored from archival 35mm elements by Film Preservation Associates. It is highlighted by the Technicolor Bal Masque sequence (in which the Phantom interrupts the revelry wearing the scarlet robes of the Red Death), as well as meticulously hand-colored sequences (replicating the Handschiegl Color Process). The film is presented at two different historically-accurate projection speeds, each with two different soundtrack options. Also included is the 1925 theatrical version, which survives only in poor-quality prints, but contains scenes that were removed from the 1929 version.

An all-time classics is back! Lon Chaney creates one of his most memorable roles as the mysterious phantom of Gaston Lerouxs famous novel. The unmasking scene is still brilliant, and the climactic chase through the Paris streets is still breathtaking, as are the films impressive sets. Chaneys incredible makeup (devised on his own) caused a sensation in it's day, and will still send shivers up your spine. Mary Philbin stars as the phantoms object of affection and protege. It's a strange love story that has lasted through the ages.
