Theatrical release poster. The central figure is the Phantom, depicted in a dynamic pose. He is dressed in a black suit, a red cloak billowing behind him, and a black mask partially covering his face. He appears to be leaping or dramatically striding across a rooftop, adding a sense of action and suspense. His posture suggests a combination of menace and theatricality. Below the Phantom, there is a scene of a couple, possibly lovers, embracing on a rooftop. The man is kneeling, and the woman is leaning towards him, suggesting a moment of intimacy or peril. The background shows a cityscape with buildings and a prominent domed structure, likely representing the opera house. The background includes two classical figures, possibly representing muses or other allegorical figures. The text in the upper left corner lists the main actors: Lon Chaney, Norman Kerry, and Mary Philbin, along with the producer's name, Carl Laemmle.
