If you loved Phantom of the Opera, try Black Friday
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Black Friday has roughly 3.7× fewer votes than Phantom of the Opera — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Arthur Lubin, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Phantom of the Opera, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Black Friday is
City street. Autumn rain. A shattered monocle. Kindly academic, felled in a mob hit, undergoes experimental surgery. Now a brain is split: erudite lectures by day, underworld vengeance by night. Classic Universal monster mash, with Karloff doing his mad-doc thing.
