I heard Lon Chaney put paper clips in his nose to make it big and put cottonballs in his cheeks to make it cheeky. That is how he is creepy. he also did those tricks in other films
@9021062 As far as it is known, he didnt implant anything( while he did as Quasimodo).He used a strip of animal glut glued to the tip of his nose, pulled upwards and backward,then glued to the ridge of his nose and forehead.Adhesive and cotton was used to shape the cheeks from outside, and he glued his ears flat. Gutta-percha(rubber material used by dentists) was used for the teeth. Apart from a cap to heighten his hairline and a wig of course, the rest was done with paints.
I was like "What the heck?" when I saw his mask. This version is scary. Lol. The 2004 version of the Phantom (Gerard Butler) brings alot of sexual tension and a romantic mood to the film. Chaney is just creepy. Which is awesome. =D
@Pretoriafly In my opinion it's better this way since in the novel, Erik is supposed to look along the lines of how Lon Chaney appears in this version.
I believe if you watch this in the dark, no lights. I mean, NO LIGHTS, and no sound. it gets really creepy, because you see this "masked" person coming towards you.
I love silent films!!!! My two favorite actors are Lon Chany & Fay Ray! (I know Fay Wray is not a silent movie actress) I used to own the phantom silent film on DVD but I lost it! =-(
What's the song that starts at 1:16 I want to know so I can find it and by whom?

This is quite a movie. Though the Phantom doesn't look as creepy as he does in other film adaptations of the story.

@MyCoffeeLove In the 1989 film, the Phantom was played by Robert Englund, (Freddy Kruegger) and he was absolutely freaky.

The Phantom is not supposed to be sexy or handsome, but rather mysterious and creppy. He is a "monster", not some attractive man.
Amazing what Chaney did with this character. AMAZING.
