Last Updated on August 5, 2021

One of the more forgotten gems of the 80’s is Dwight H. Little’s retelling of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, which starred the great Robert Englund. The folks over at Scream Factory are giving the 1989 classic a well-deserved release on February 17, 2015, and we’ve got all the goods right here. Read on!

Get ready, Freddy. Scream Factory is going to the opera! Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Galaxy of Terror, Freddy vs. Jason) assumes the classic role of The Phantom in this shocking, nerve-jangling retelling of Gaston Leroux’s timeless tale of music, madness and murder.

An aspiring opera singer finds herself transported back to Victorian-era London – and into the arms of a reclusive, disfigured maestro determined to make her a star. The silver-throated Christine (Jill Schoelen, The Stepfather) enjoys success through the arrangements of her new lover (Englund)… until she realizes that he has been committing unspeakably grisly murders in her honor and won’t stop until he’s completed his masterpiece… in blood!
