The Phantom of the Opera
Running time: 93 mins
Horror/Thriller
The Phantom of the Opera is a 1925 American silent horror film adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel of the same name. It was directed by Rupert Julian and starred Lon Chaney, Sr in the title role of the deformed Phantom who haunts the Paris Opera House, causing murder and mayhem in an attempt to make the woman he loves a star. The movie remains most famous for Chaney's ghastly, self-devised make-up, which was kept a studio secret until the film's premiere.
Accompanied this afternoon by the celebrated organist Donald Mackenze at the console of the Mighty Compton Paramount Cinema Organ.
Presented as part of the Penistone Silent Film Festival 2025.
