The Phantom of the Opera 1925 

As promised, here is the 1925 version of "The Phantom of the Opera". (Advent Day 24)
Since I have a feeling that many of you may not be able to sit through a silent movie, here's the synopsis of the movie for you:
"In this silent horror classic, aspiring young opera singer Christine Daaé (Mary Philbin) discovers that she has a mysterious admirer intent on helping her become a lead performer. This enigmatic masked presence is Erik, also known as the Phantom (Lon Chaney), a horribly disfigured recluse who lives underneath the Paris Opera House. When the Phantom takes Christine prisoner and demands her devotion and affection, her suitor, Vicomte Raoul de Chagny (Norman Kerry), sets out to rescue her."
