The absolute best of the best. Sierra Boggess remains unbeatable. 

A literal perfect stage-to-screen adaptation, and the version of the story that kickstarted my love of all things <i>Phantom</i> at the tender age of 11. Life-changing, to say the least.&nbsp;

Unsettling, beautiful and atmospheric, Lon Chaney is legendary here. Holds a special place in my heart as the first silent film I ever watched.&nbsp;

Far from perfect, but contains a surprising amount of heart.&nbsp;

Gory, grim and disgusting. Features Robert Englund having a slashingly good time in the titular role. Not my favorite, but leaves a lasting impression on me nonetheless.&nbsp;

A shockingly faithful adaptation of Leroux’s novel with some fantastic background animation, but ultimately held back by its cheesy voice acting and low frame rate.&nbsp;

All spectacle and no substance. It’s so watered down from the source material that it hardly deserves to be included in the <i>Phantom</i> lexicon.&nbsp;
