Winslow Leach is the protagonist of the film Phantom of the Paradise, directed by Brian De Palma.

He is a young composer whose music is stolen by the producer Swan. Following this, Winslow is caught up in a series of tragic events and suffers severe injuries; he eventually becomes the Phantom—donning a mask and a black cape to terrorize the "Paradise" concert hall in a bid to have his work performed.

The film contains numerous references to The Phantom of the Opera, the Faust legend, and The Picture of Dorian Gray. The role of Winslow was played by William Finley. At the heart of the story is the young, naive composer Winslow Leach (William Finley). He composes music, including an opera based on Goethe’s Faust. Winslow’s talent catches the eye of Swan (Paul Williams), an influential and unscrupulous music producer. Swan steals the composer's music, promising to use it in his new musical, Paradise; however, when Winslow attempts to confront him, Swan frames him. Swan’s henchmen plant drugs on Winslow, leading to his imprisonment. While incarcerated, Winslow is subjected to a gruesome "experiment": his teeth are extracted (deemed unhygienic) and replaced with metal prosthetics. Upon hearing on the radio that Swan is proceeding with the musical featuring his score, Leach escapes. He breaks into a record-pressing plant, attempting to destroy the stock. In a freak accident, his head gets caught in a press; Winslow is left severely disfigured and loses his sanity. He subsequently appears at the "Paradise" concert hall as the Phantom, wearing a studded black leather outfit, a bird-like mask, and black lipstick. His goal is to ensure that his music is performed by only one singer—Phoenix (Jessica Harper), with whom he fell in love during her audition. The Phantom sabotages the production and eliminates performers he deems unsuitable. Swan offers the Phantom a contract: a secluded studio for his creative work in exchange for a starring role for Phoenix. The parties seal the deal with "blood"—literally signing the contract in blood. However, Swan betrays Winslow once again. The Phantom then exacts a terrible revenge. In the finale, Swan makes a pact with the Devil to remain forever young, but Winslow finds and destroys the recordings; this causes Swan’s body to rapidly decompose, leading to his death. The Phantom himself is mortally wounded, but before dying, he achieves acclaim, wins Phoenix’s love, and "saves" their souls.
