A Face Only Terror Could Love

Tonight, The Introverted Obelisk trades the crypt for the catwalks of the Paris Opera House — where chandeliers fall, music swells, and romance dies screaming in the wings.

Lon Chaney — the man of a thousand faces — delivers his most unforgettable one here: Erik, the Phantom. He’s a genius, a murderer, and an unlicensed interior decorator with a serious candle budget.

We’ll drift through the labyrinth beneath the opera, past the mirrored halls and the lake of shadows, and into the heart of a monster who only ever wanted to be heard.

This is no love story; it’s a requiem for obsession — an echo chamber where every note of beauty comes with a scream beneath it.

A century later, the film still haunts — not because of its horror, but because of its humanity.

So tune in, take your seat, and don’t look up.

Because the music’s beautiful tonight… and something is waiting above the stage.
