The Phantom of the Opera's Red Death costume is one of the most haunting and theatrical images in horror history. It originated in Gaston Leroux's classic novel and was famously portrayed in the 1925 silent film by Lon Chaney. This moment captures the Phantom crashing a masquerade ball dressed as Death itself, cloaked in crimson with a skull-like mask and flowing cape. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death," the costume shows the Phantom's dramatic vengeance and love of gothic horror.

NECA has now brought this horror to life as they celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera with a new Ultimate figure. The Phantom will have three swappable heads that nicely capture Lon Chaney's performance, along with a serpent cane, soft goods cloak, and swappable hands. Pre-orders are already live for this new Red Death Phantom and is already up for pre-order for $34.99 with a Q3 2025 release.
