The REAL unmasking from Chaney's Phantom 1925

You have probably seen the classic scene from Phantom of the Opera where Mary Philbin unmasks Lon Chaney... but did you know that the one you have seen isnt the REAL one? This video shows both versions, plus a side by side comparison.

If you love POTO movies, then subscribe to this account as I will be reviewing lots of them in the future!

When I First Saw This Video, I Was Stunned! I Never Knew That There Were 2 Versions! This Video Has Told Me Much! Thanks. By The Way, I've Never Seen "The Phantom Of The Opera (2004)" Can You Review This Please?

@Memar101 I have reviewed it, check out my channel. I have reviewed almost every version ever made, and there are a lot! :)

And I thought this scene couldn't get any scarier! The '29 print shows him looking both shocked and angry, but the original '25 one is much more frightening, for the simple fact that he just looks pissed. Really pissed.

Please review the dubbed version!

I cant stand it! driving me mad!

this is the first time I realized how unnerving chaney's make up was. I don't understand why Hollywood can't remake this kind of disfigurement with all the modern technology?

@MissyH316 Thank you VERY much for the guidance, I will definately look on ebay and/or look into the re-release. Did they set a date or confirm it? :)

Side note: I'm extremly happy to see so many fans of the silent film version!

@SoraSama14 The Milestone Ultimate 2-DVD Edition is currently out of print, but I wrote to the company and they plan on re-releasing it soon. But I think you can still get a copy from Amazon or on eBay so I hope if you havent' already, you get one asap! :-)
