Plot Outline: A mad, disfigured composer seeks love with a lovely young opera singer.
Plot: At the Opera of Paris, a mysterious phantom threatens a famous lyric singer, Carlotta and thus forces her to give up her role (Marguerite in Faust) for unknown Christine Daae. Christine meets this phantom (a masked man) in the catacombs, where he lives. Whats his goal ? Whats his secret ?

Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
The end credits are backwards, scrolling down instead of up.

Goofs: We know about 8 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Miscellaneous: The opening credits are accurate to the 1929 re-edited version, listing Mary Fabian as Carlotta and Virginia Pearson as Carlottas mother, however the ending credits still credit Pearson as Carlotta. This is due to the fact that the "1929" cut is actually made of two negatives: one from a 1929 silent version and one from the original 1925 version. Its most likely that the credit sequence is from the latter.

Trivia: There are 12 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Edward Sedgwick directed a few scenes after director Rupert Julian walked off the set after heated arguments with cast and crew.
• Ben Carré was called in to design the sets, and although he had worked at the Paris Opera House, he had already been living in California for some time doing sets.
• Lon Chaney devised his own make-up.
