My Phantom story is sort of strange, so that is why I ask other people if the movie affected them in an unusual way. I have always loved monsters and monster movies. I read Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera English translation when I was 8 and in French when I was 10. I have always been in love with Erik! Well, for 30 years at least! Once when I was a child I was watching a Phantom movie with my mom and told here that I was going to marry him when I grew up. She was teasing me about kissing his ugly face and I told her that I would kiss him with the lights off! LOL! I have since learned that people kiss with their eyes closed, negating the need to turn off the lights! LOL!
Anyway, I have every Phantom book, comic book and movie ever made but I did not want to see ALW’s Phantom because it was a musical. I don't like musicals! My daughter put it on my Netflix queue, I told her to take it off but she really wanted to see it, so I said OK. Well, she was nowhere around when it came in so I watched all alone! I was blown away! I stopped on my way to work the next morning and bought the DVD and soundtrack. I had to watch it every day for a while, I still listen to the CD...
