A horror directed by Rupert Julian, starring Lon Chaney.
A deformed man "haunts" the opera house, manipulating events to cause the success of one of the singers in an attempt to make her love him. He kidnaps the star twice, but her boyfriend finds out and enters the basement to save her.
This film is a lot like Nosferatu in that it's silent with classical music and text screens. The music in this one is much better, but the villain is a little lame. What would really be funny is The Phantom of the Grand Ole Opry complete with a deformed redneck and country soundtrack. For what this movie is, I'm rating it o.k. for shallow plot and characters, but decent music.
