The 1925 silent classic starring Lon Chaney is coming to Blu-ray this November.
In an early announcement to retailers, Image Entertainment is prepping 'Phantom of the Opera' for Blu-ray on November 1.
Lon Chaney is Erik, the horribly disfigured Phantom who leads a menacing existence in the catacombs and dungeons beneath the Paris Opera House. When Erik falls in love with a beautiful prima donna, he kidnaps her and holds her hostage in his lair. This horror classic, presented in its 1929 re-edited reissue version, features a rare early 2-color Technicolor sequence.
The Blu-ray will feature 1080p video, an uncompressed mono soundtrack, and supplements will include: Phantom of the Opera Trailer, Gabriel Thibaudeau Interview, Photo Gallery, Phantom Script, and Phantom Souvenir Program Reproduction.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $39.98.
