What What?
Wow. That’s unfortunate. And uncanny.
very. i made one about a week ago using a vogon instead of this one. i guess i never made *this* connection.
He really got a bad deal. Might as well be a politician.
whats wrong with his nose? ._.
He was disfigured in a horrible fire at the opera house.
ROFL…
Wow, you were the ONLY one who got that…
LMFAO!!
WTF. Stupid.
actually, he was born that way. I read the book.
That sure isn’t Gerard Butler. Gag.
That’s more like the Phantom from the book, and actually what he was meant to look like in the first place. Unfortunately, the adaptations after the Lon Cheney movie have gotten a little more removed from the book with every adaptation.
I love Lon Chaney.
: 3
Yeah, it’s definitely not the Sunburn of Doom.
Now THAT’S a face for radio… yeesh
He must have a huge brain:)
Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure that’s not an image from Phantom of the Opera, that looks more like Frankenstein or something. The Phantom is supposed to have one screwed up side of his face and the other is normal if not attractive
you’re wrong.
evidence please?

There is a link to the dvd on Amazon. If you click on the pic to make it larger you can see Lon’s face better as the Phantom.

That is the link to the dvd on Amazon. If you click on it for the larger image you can see Chaney’s face better.

Sorry about the post above. 3 yr old hit the button for me.
If you click on my name, it will take you to the Amazon page for the movie with Lon Chaney. If you click on the dvd pic it will enlarge and you can see the pic of Chaney as the Phantom. It’s from the 1925 version of The Phantom of the Opera.
ew, that’s gross. It’s certainly not like the modern versions I’ve seen lol
Lon Chaney is one of the most famous faces associated with the Phantom of the Opera… I’m sorry, but Gerard Butler was still damn hot as the Phantom. Not the pint of the story at all. Butler looked nothing like a creepy old man… like in the original story by Gaston Leroux.
To me, this likeness is uncanny!!
i would rather have gerard butler instead of chaney any day. gerard was the hottest phantom of the opera besides my boyfriend.
haha. but still, it’s weird that they are alike. poor dude. haha.
He’s not meant to be hot… *sigh*
These people don’t get the point of the story… Erik is supposed to be butt ugly, not super uber hott lyk omg. I would rather have Lon Chaney over Gerard a) because he was so close to the novel and b) he’s a better actor, but like a great philosopher once said, you can’t always get what you want.
I agree, if you’re gonna be true to the original story, you gotta go with Chaney.
I’d rather have the Phantom straight from the book.
Yeah, and because you’ve never seen it before, you’re right.
Loser.
I find the Phantom’s pose hilarious.
Perhaps he’s appalled by the lack of decent adaptation of his story.
The half mask only came about for the musical. They started rehearsals using the mask from the book which covered the entire face, but found that it limited the actor’s performance too much. So they went with the now famous half mask.
ignant ass
Actually, as “The_Invisible_Jester”said this phantom looks as it’s supposed to look, based on the book. Today, with the different adaptations, how the phantom looks like, as well the plot of the story, has changed enormously to the point were only half of his face is disfigured. Take notice that this movie was released in 1925, long before Andrew LLoyd Weber’s adaptation in which the phantom has the mask.
Mon Dieu, I hope your’e joking. Your’e joking, right? You DO know that there was a play before the movie, and a BOOK before the play? People need to do their research before trying to look smart… (>/.<)
I think were getting off track here…let’s not let ourselves get drawn into old movies and comparisons with other movies and the Broadway versions or the actual book or any of that. Let’s get back on track: Waxman is one ugly MFer!
Am I the only one who doesn’t see the resemblance?
Looks that way.
i would definately say so….can you say i need glasses?
Fortunately Waxman is an awesome muthaf*cka who doesn’t let corrupt elected or appointed officials get away with NOTHIN. Hopefully he’ll continue to run with it and we’ll actually get to see some Bushies in jail or at the Hague.
BWahwahwahwhawa
you’re a fool. nostrilman is a crooked as they come. as ugly and unjust inside as he is on the outside.
that sure as hell ain’t the phantom of the opera. that’s frankenstein, dumbass.
Wow. Kind of rude. Click my name for the link to The Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney on Amazon. No one else really had a good pic. You can tell that it’s The Phantom. (Not to mention that Lon Chaney didn’t play The Monster in Frankenstein.)
Wow. I think you’re the dumbass, coz…um… That IS the Phantom Of The opera From the 1925 movie.
yes it is………. RETARD!!!!!that is phantom of the opera!!!!
ONE. Frankenstein is NOT a monster, he was the creator of the monster.
TWO. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA LOOKS LIKE THAT. IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY USED THAT MAGIC THING CALLED THEIR BRAINS THEY COULD EASILY FIND OUT THAT THE PHANTOM WAS A BOOK. AND IN THAT BOOK, THE PHANTOM IS DEFORMED ALL OVER HIS FACE, HAS NO NOSE, ETC.
Please refrain from speaking.
Phangirl OUT. Time to go stalking abroad.
Why does everyone think that Gerald Butler as the Phantom is the original? It’s not Zann is right. The Original 1920 version of the Phantom is the one pictured! That is Lon Chaney as the Phantom!
People think it’s Butler because they have no clue of the old classic movies! I will never forget the best Christmas EVER! Dad bought me Chaney’s Phantom, Lugosi’s Dracula, and Karloff’s Frankenstein. Dad & I stayed up late that Christmas night to watch them all. Fun times!
That sounds like a totally *awesome* Christmas. My Dad’s German, not Bulgarian, but he still reminds me of Lugosi when Lugosi was in his Ed Wood phase. “Get out of my houuuse!”
I love Ed Wood!!
You’re definitely right about the classic movie thing…people don’t realize what they’re missing.
(begin rant)
Anyway, that IS Lon Chaney as the Phantom of the Opera (because I’ve seen the film) and it’s sad that some people don’t know that. Lon Chaney created his own makeup as he frequently did. Also, the silent film was recently remastered and released on DVD and the masquerade scene was incredible–definitely worth a view.
(end rant)
I’m going to have to see the DVD version! lol Mine are pre-dvd VHS.
I know who that is and what movie it is. I was saying that it obviously wasn’t GB because he’s, well, yummy, and Lon isn’t.
Also, if you read the book (dur), you’ll realize that the Sun Burn Of Doom on Butler is far from correct. The Lon Chaney version isn’t perfect either but it’s way closer than the Sun Burn musical of sparkly-dom. (Not to say that I didn’t enjoy it because I did.)
*hardly constructive…. hardly cares.*
Sun Burn musical of sparkly-dom? I LOL’d.
It’s even funnier if you read Phantom in 15 minutes. *points to link in her name.*
Oh my gosh! That was hysterical!
Wait a minute! That aint 15 minutes! More like a couple of hours (of course it didn’t help that I followed all the links)
Loved the Dread Pirate Roberts Ninja Dancers! That was funny! Thanks for the post!
That’s definitely a keeper. “Please, we grovel on our knees and kiss your satin ass, Carlotta” made me laugh ’til I snorted.
lmao “OH MY GOD, HE’S SLIGHTLY UNATTRACTIVE ON ONE SIDE! TO ARMS!”
win
wat is wrong with his whole head
He’s DEFORMED.
Other than the nose, mmm not so much on this one.
As a Phantom of the Opera fan (pre-Weber and Butler!!) I’d never insult the Phantom by comparing him to this bozo :\
Vive le Fantome!
And as long as folks are confusing their phantoms…wasn’t Michael Crawford the original half-masked romantic Phantom? Gerard Butler was only the Phantom in the poorly-received Joel Schumacher-directed film version, wasn’t he?
Yup, that’s right. Michael Crawford was first, and Butler was in the film with the sunburn of doom.
…. You read the movie in 15 minutes version, huh? XD
Claude Rains wore a partial mask in the 1943 remake – the lower part of his face, from his mouth to his chin, was exposed, so it’s a little different from the mask in the musical version.
that’s definately the original Phantom with Lon Chaney
he wasn’t disfigured in a fire, he was born that way (has ANYONE read Gaston Leroux’s novel??)
Apparently not.
I’ve read it, but I admit it’s been a while. Why read something when if someone waits long enough they can a bad movie version and never have to actually think?
it took me 3 days to finish the book!
I tried reading it. Does that get me points?
I’ll give ya points for trying! It isn’t an easy read. But it sure helped give a lot of missing background info for the musical. (I admit, aside from the Lon Chaney version I’ve never seen one of the movies. But I’ve seen the musical several times.)
I’ve read it! In the process of re-reading it, actually. I love it. A difficult read, but a wonderful story. I love Erik (which is the Phantom’s name, for those of you who haven’t read the book). I’d so marry him…
“Phantom” by Susan Kay is also an awesome PotO book, though obviously not the original. If you want to see a possible version of Erik’s past and an alternate version of the whole Christine dealie, read this! It’s my favorite book. *happy Erik-induced sigh*
You got a link or something? (BTW, I’d love to marry Erik, too.)
Phantom Phans attacking this is fun.
According to the comments on this page, no. I have no hope for this generation where the monsters are supposed to be -romantic- when they’re really crazy and people don’t appreciate the classic, good, silent movies. Unfortunately, I’m part of that generation.
I have, I’ve also read a cross-over novel with Sherlock Holmes that wasn’t half bad (I forget the author’s name). …and seen every movie from Lon Chaney onward, even the god-awful Phantom of the Paradise… the one with Robert Englund as the Phantom was bad ass, best Carlotta fate ever!
I have, and I love it!!!!
I finally figured out what Erik’s theme song should be. Born This Way by Lady Gaga. XD
perfect
In the book–born disfigured.
In the film–horrible opera fire.
Jo–is a dumbass.
Off topic (sort of) but did anyone see the 40s version with all opera and no phantom? It was godawful but as I recall the phantom had acid or some photo developing stuff thrown in his face. Or the much later Robert Englund version where he kept stealing people’s facial features?
I know what you’re talking about.
I thought the fourties version was actually kinda good. ^^; Sure, it wasn’t the best, but it was right after/during the war (I can’t remember which) and there was a sort of ban on violence and such. The directors really wanted to make it a more romantic version to keep people’s minds off the war, if my information’s correct, so they focused on Christine and the two Raoul’s love affair to keep it sort of humorous and light. Plus, Lullaby of the Bells was beautiful haha
I love that version, too. While it had little to do with the book, I thought it was really, really sweet and funny.
but also, i think the film started off too slowly and ended too quickly.
Gaston Leroux’s Erik > Andrew Llloyd Webber’s Erik.
Doesn’t anyone read classical literature anymore?
Alot of people on here don’t even know who ERIK is.
And that makes me cry.
best book ever!
Phantom of the Opera Totally Looks Like he’s about to sneeze.
And both with Michael Jacksons nose!
Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica …..don’t be stupid next time; VOTE for PHANTOM in 2010 !!
He’s weird looking naturally, but the photoshop liquify tool on the nose and black color added between the teeth aided in this comparison.
Time line
***-_-***
Now the Phantom is going for politics…
If he puts in a mandate that every single politician has to sing their arguments and propositions, then it will be interesting indeed.
HAHAHAHA! Well, that would make me stay awake during CSPAN. And to the above uncanny similarity, holy crow, thats unfortunate
that is so funny like totally totally like yah like yah
This made me laugh almost as much as the comments about it!
It really disappoints me though that hardly anyone has read the original novel by Leroux. Erik is not supposed to be sexy, he’s a crazy 50 year old man who was shunned by the world because of his accursed ugliness. Honestly, if you’re going to make stupid comments, at least don’t argue with people who actually know their phacts.
they both need braces.
btw nice spelling Courtney. phacts lol
WIN!
I love PotO, best book ever! Saw the 1925 version, didn’t really love that one, but that face was priceless. I also saw the 2004 version based on the musical (in case anyone didn’t know), & I loved that one!
I always hate the fact that Christine chose Raoul over Erik, even though she loves both. I really pity the Phantom, and I would take the poor, unhappy guy for myself!
