Das Phantom der Oper (1916): Featuring the Swedish actor Nils Olaf Chrisander (1884-1947) Now a lost film and is only believed to have existed because of references in other media.
The Phantom of the Opera (1925): Featuring Lon Chaney, Sr. and Mary Philbin. For this classic silent film Universal Studios created a faithful replica of the Paris Opera House as a setting. The film was reissued in 1929 with sound effects, music and some reshot dialogue sequences (but none with Chaney). The scene in which Erik plays the organ and Christine creeps up behind him to snatch his mask off is often cited by critics and connoisseurs of film art as one of the most memorable moments in the history of film. The make up of Lon Chaney was so surprisingly disfiguring that the Camera operator actually lost focus while shooting the sequence. Indeed, theaters were urged to have smelling salts on hand in case ladies in the audience fainted in Horror.
Song at Midnight (Chinese: 夜åŠæŒè² Ye ban ge sheng) (1937): Featuring Gu Menghe and Hu Ping, directed by Ma-Xu Weibang. First to have Sound and Dialog.
Phantom of the Opera (1943): Featuring Claude Rains as the Phantom and the singer Susanna Foster as Christine. First to be in Color. The Phantom's facial disfigurement is caused by him having acid thrown in his face rather than him being born disfigured as in Leroux's original story. This accidental disfigurement became part of the Phantom legend, and was copied in later film versions.
