The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

Cast Lon Chaney The Phantom Mary Philbin Christine Daae Norman Kerry Vicomte Raoul de Chagny Lon Chaney stars as Erik, the Phantom, in what is probably his most famous and certainly his most horrifying role. Produced by Universal, the film shot in 1923 and shelved for nearly two years, and was subjected to intensive studio tinkering. While many expected a disaster, the film turned out to be a rousing success. It was both the stepping off point for Chaney's run as a superstar at MGM and the prototype for the horror film cycle at Universal in the 1930s. Directors Rupert Julian Producers Carl Laemmle Carl Laemmle, Jr. Carl Laemmle, Sr. Writers Gaston Leroux .
