Phantom of the Paradise (1974) is a rock musical horror film directed by Brian De Palma, blending elements of gothic horror, satire, and rock 'n' roll excess. The story follows Winslow Leach, a talented but disfigured composer who becomes the vengeful "Phantom" after a corrupt music producer, Swan, steals his work and betrays him. As Swan's corrupt and exploitative music empire rises, Winslow's quest for revenge leads him to sabotage the opening of Swan's new rock palace, *The Paradise*. The film is a unique, stylized take on *The Phantom of the Opera*, combining dark humor, surreal visuals, and a memorable soundtrack by Paul Williams. Its blend of horror, camp, and social commentary makes it a cult classic.
