Lon Cahney's performance ( and Awesome make-up) made this popular French Novel into a Film Classic....!!! ....The Phantom of the Opera....!!!!


The old silent classic...
Lon Chaney's extensive ( and very "uncomfortable") make up really brought this Character to Life...




Lon Chaney..... the "Man of a 1000 Faces"....!!!!




actually a very Tragic "Love Story"....

he abducts his "lady Love"...and takes her to his Lair... only to be "rejected" by her....
his horrible visage terrified many a movie goer back in his days....

far below the grand Paris Opera House he plays at the keyboard.....

the Basil Gogos Painting....

A truly Great "Movie Monster"....




and the Famous "Unmasking" scene....


Make-up Artist Rick Baker did a great rendition of this Classic Monster....
