Edgar Wright on

Phantom of the Paradise

Released 1974
Distributor 20th Century Fox

Brian De Palma and Paul Williams’ satirical glam-rock-opera takeoff on the Lon Chaney classic is the very definition of a midnight movie: bizarre, stylish and totally out there in that unique anything-goes 70s mode that looks positively classical today.
