The Phantom of the Opera is a 1925 American silent horror film starring Lon Chaney as a disfigured composer who haunts the Paris Opera House, adapted from Gaston Leroux's novel. Chaney designed and applied his own ghastly makeup for the role in secret, and the shock of its reveal at the character's unmasking became one of the most famous moments in silent-era horror filmmaking, alongside the film's Technicolor-tinted masked ball sequence. The Phantom of the Opera is widely regarded as a foundational work of American horror cinema and one of Universal Pictures' earliest and most influential monster pictures.
