Crestwood House season 4 comes to an end with one of the first horror masterpieces. This week Michael takes Shawn & Paxton to the theater to witness the 1925 silent classic, The Phantom of the Opera.

Join us as we discuss what “counts” for horror in the silent age, the amazing make-up work of Lon Chaney, tinting in silent films, and how the various edits of the film undermine the legacy and power of the story!
