Herbert Lom (Mysterious Island), Heather Sears (Room at the Top), and Michael Gough (Dracula) star in The Phantom of the Opera, Hammer's acclaimed adaptation of Gaston Leroux's celebrated novel. A new production at the London Opera House by Lord Ambrose (Gough) is cancelled following a series of grisly murders. Ambrose attempts to restage the show with novice singer Christine (Sears), who finds herself whisked deep underground by the masked Phantom (Lom), who is hellbent on vengeance against the man who wronged him. From Hammer's greatest director Terence Fisher (The Revenge of Frankenstein), The Phantom of the Opera is an opulent retelling of Leroux's Gothic classic.
