Winslow Leach (Phantom of the Paradise)

Winslow Leach is the Phantom in the 1974 Brian De Palma film Phantom of the Paradise, played by William Finley. He is disfigured due to getting his head caught in a record press. His masterpiece was to be the first Rock Opera version of Faust. Winslow is deeply in love with Phoenix, a young female singer he meets at the Faust auditions. The villain of his story is Swan, a satanic record producer who steals Winslow's music. Winslow is very passionate about his music and songwriting. In most other aspects of his life, he is very mild-mannered, almost to the point of being passive. But when it comes to his music being stolen and bastardized, a raging, nuclear-bomb level temper is revealed. He demonstrates seemingly superhuman strength when in the throes of such rages.
