[earlandbob]

It's so weird that people fainted when seeing this! I mean come on it's not that bad!

[Phanstein665]

I'm sorry you had to go through this, Erik.

[SmurfAndBuffalo]

He doesn't actually look that bad for a hideously deformed french phantom :P

[XXHangmansXCurseXX]

[RabiaB]

That was impressive to see. Great score and acting, and interesting costume Christine is wearing. And all that "clasped hands" pleading! Of course, by today's standarts Lon Chaney's bald head is more unsightly than the face.

[JhnnyDeppLover]

[CharlieNation]

what song is that he is playing?

[EmilyGreene1984]

In the story he is playing a piece of his opera, "Don Juan Triumphant" - which is based on the legend of and opera "Don Giovanni". As for the music in the movie itself, it was added later - the entire movie was filmed in silence. The composer for this version of the film is Carl Davis.

a lush score; very effective orchestration.
