On this day, November 3, 1989, The Phantom of the Opera, a horror film adaptation directed by Dwight H. Little, premiered in theaters. This unique take on Gaston Leroux’s classic story starred Robert Englund—known for his role as Freddy Krueger—as the vengeful Phantom, bringing a darker, more terrifying edge to the iconic character. With a cast that included Jill Schoelen, Bill Nighy, and a young Molly Shannon, the film brought horror fans a blend of gothic romance and supernatural thrills. Despite mixed reviews, The Phantom of the Opera found its place among horror adaptations, earning $4 million at the box office.

Who remembers seeing this horror adaptation? Did Robert Englund’s take on the Phantom bring chills?
