The Phantom of the Opera , 1925
One of the most eminent horror films ever made and perhaps even the most famous silent horror movie from that time – 1920’s. Lon Chaney starred in over 150 films (most of them silent ones) but he’ll always be remembered best for his role as Erik, the Phantom.
Even though the role was played by many respectable actors afterwards, Lon Chaney is – and remains – the one and only Phantom of the Opera.
Deep down in the catacombs below the Paris Opera building the phantom reigns in forgotten dungeons and underground lakes. After all these years of living in the opera, he has fallen in love with the unsuccessful, singer Christine – played by Mary Philbin.
With live organ accompaniment by Ben Hall, Head of Music, University of Chichester
