Vintage poster for the 1925 film The Phantom of the Opera: The poster is framed by a cream border with a thin red inner rule, printed on a mottled olive-brown ground with visible halftone dot texture, giving it the look of an aged lithograph. Across the top, in condensed yellow capitals, runs the tagline "THE SCREEN'S CLASSIC OF TERROR!" The upper two-thirds are filled by a portrait of the Phantom, head tilted slightly, eyes wide and glaring out at the viewer. His head is bald and domed with only a few strands of dark hair at the temples, his brow furrowed, cheeks hollowed, eye sockets ringed in deep shadow, and his nose flattened. His mouth is pulled open in a grimace that exposes a full row of teeth, so the face reads as a living skull. He wears a high-collared black garment that disappears into the dark background. The lower half is almost entirely typography. In yellow: "CARL LAEMMLE PRESENTS," then the title in large letters — "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" — with quotation marks and the second line staggered under the first. Below that, "WITH LON CHANEY" sits at left, with "NORMAN KERRY / MARY PHILBIN" stacked at right. Smaller cream lines follow: "AND A CAST OF 5000 OTHERS," with "STORY BY GASTON LEROUX" and "DIRECTED BY RUPERT JULIAN" beneath, and at the very bottom "A UNIVERSAL PRODUCTION." An artist's signature is scrawled in the lower right corner.
