Awesome movie, great music soundtrack. Released in 1974 (50 years ago). I was 10 years old, I had to wait 5 years to watch it. (PG 15). I own the remastered version. Long live William Finley. R.I.P. (Septmeber 20, 1940) (April 14, 2012). God bless all the remaining cast members for such a great job performing on this movie.

Okay, that neon lighting bolt scene scared the shit out of me as a child, what was my mom doing taking me to see this? God bless her because this movie is one of the best to ever do it, musical horror. Extra props to Depalma and the whole cast, bravo!

I love the golden ones that restore classic movies, such as Dr. Sapirstein. My husband has been assisting in restoring Harold Lloyd's old silents. It's truly a labor of love!

I have been showing movies in my backyard on a 20ft screen for the several years. I've always tried showing movies that my audience never seen before. I picked Phantom Of The Paradise hoping none of the 25 people had never seen it before. At the end of the movie none of them had ever seen or heard of it before and they all loved it and still talk about it.
I first saw it in 1974 in a theatre with a childhood friend and have loved it ever since.

Why in the hell has no one made a Broadway musical of this movie!

[premiumblue]

I never thought i would find another movie as cool as Rocky Horror until i found this one!

[EvilscooterKitty]

Brilliant, even after all these years.

[AzimuthTao]

Such a great film but the color-corrected version looks over-saturated.

[animationist]

I could watch this move another 20 times and still enjoy it as much as I did the first time I saw it (please tell me I'm not the only one) :P

[milagroring]

Omg, i saw this movie 6 times, still love it ..

[timothyjuarez]

Glad they restored it. It was such a fun movie to watch, back in the day!

[michaelpsihogios]

I really love this movie I saw it on Encore back in like 1997 and I can't believe that so many people enjoy it as much as I do

[shawncolton]

Record Press face-crushing scene needs to go back in!

[TheAskTrixieChannel]

Will you ever re-do this? The extra footage is INCREDIBLY choppy, and blood red!

[FelizNAVIDad]

They should release an r version, which contains the aftermath when we see Winslow’s face come out of the disc pressing machine after being crushed, and so on

Thank you! Love the movie and the extended music score to The Hell of it!

[trexguy]

Love this movie! 40 years ago it predicted the horrible state of music.

I have an Original LP. And here in LA was impossible to get before 2000. I was the first to get the CD and DVD from Canada.

Color corrected? Magenta is so boosted this looks like my grandfather television... :/
