The Phantom of the Opera (1925): In this atmospheric horror masterpiece, Lon Chaney delivers a haunting portrayal of the disfigured phantom lurking beneath the Paris Opera House. Adapted from Gaston Leroux's novel, the film is particularly famous for Chaney's eerie, self-created make-up, which was kept a secret until the film's debut. A tale of unrequited love, obsession, and dark mystery that will leave you spellbound.
