Cinemassacre's Monster Madness
Specials
Every October, James Rolfe reviews horror movies, whether it be the old-school silent-era monster classics, the golden-age Universal horror films from the '30s, '40s and '50s, the grotesque zombie flicks of the '60s and '70s, the super gory, yet cheesy slasher films of the '80s and '90s, and even the revisionist slasher and torture porn films of the 2000s. Sequels and all.

Which Dracula Film is Most Faithful to the Book?Which Dracula movie adaptation is most faithful to the original Bram Stoker book??

The Phantom of the Opera (1925) 100th AnniversaryThe Phantom of the Opera premiered at the Astor theater in New York City, on September 6, 1925. But if you want to get technical, the first cut was shown to a test audience on January 7 and 26 in Los Angeles. On April 26, a 2nd cut was shown at the Curran theater in San Francisco. And finally, the 3rd cut has its 100th anniversary today! In this video, I talk about its convoluted history and sum up the appeal of Lon Chaney's haunting incarnation as the Phantom.
