100 years ago this week, the classic silent film "Phantom of the Opera" had its premiere.

The film is a gothic horror based on the 1910 novel by Gaston Leroux, and sticks closer to the novel's plot than later adaptations. It's particularly notable for Lon Chaney's performance as the Phantom.

You can watch the film on the Fediverse as it's now public domain. Unfortunately there isn't a public domain soundtrack, so I've edited together a new one using PD and CC music.

The trailer is here:

"Munich artist Fritz Schwimbeck is best known for his dark, psychological pen and ink images from before 1920. Labeled a Malerpoet (Painter poet) ... [a] description for artists that created visions of pure, primeval imagination. The Malerpoeten championed black and white images because they believed that a lack of color allowed for just enough distance from reality, moving the viewer to create their own subjective understanding"

A brick-built, vaulted cellar. At the back a stair leads up out of sight. From under the stair emerges the legs of an enormous hairy spider, reaching towards a man who recoils away from it. He holds a burning lamp which casts his shadow a long way towards our viewpoint - his shadow on the bare floor takes up the lower half of the image.
