“The greatest horror film of modern cinema!”

Someone beneath the Paris Opera House is causing murder and mayhem, all to turn a young singer into a star. She is Christine Daaé (Mary Philbin), and the Phantom (Lon Chaney) is the deformed man who haunts the place and loves her. Rupert Julian made this silent adaptation, and its most guarded secret was Chaney's make-up, kept hidden by the studio until the premiere.
