My Favorite Universal Monster.....

                    
Lon Cahney's performance ( and Awesome make-up) made this popular French Novel into a Film Classic....!!! ....The Phantom of the Opera....!!!!
                                 
                 
                                                       The old silent classic...
                 
Lon Chaney's extensive ( and very "uncomfortable") make up really brought this Character to Life...
                   
                 
                      

                                        Lon Chaney..... the "Man of a 1000 Faces"....!!!!
                          
                        

          
                      
                
                                    actually a very Tragic "Love Story"....
                
    he abducts his "lady Love"...and takes her to his Lair... only to be "rejected" by her....


               

                   
                              his horrible visage terrified many a movie goer back in his days....

                   
                          far below the grand Paris Opera House he plays at the keyboard.....
              
                                              the Basil Gogos Painting....
                
                                                  A truly Great "Movie Monster"....





                                                and the Famous "Unmasking" scene....
                              "Feast your eyes... Glut your soul , on my accursed ugliness"....
                    
            
                        Make-up Artist Rick Baker did a great rendition of this Classic Monster....
