Thanks to everyone who stuck with me and who's joining me just now. Like the Phantom, I will be back.

After the worldwide popularity of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, a film version was inevitable. But the sequel? That's another story entirely. Today we'll get into what the casting of Gerard Butler and the collaboration of Joel Schumacher meant for the movie, and how Lloyd Webber entered into a Freudian battle with his past self to create "Love Never Dies."

But the Dwight Little and Dario Argento Phantoms, played by Robert Englund and Julian Sands respectively, took the character in two new, and very different, directions. Today we'll explore the horror versions of our beloved Phantom, as sex and death become the focus.
