I've been editing fan videos since summer 2006, and my first fan videos were of The Phantom of The Opera and I published them here during 2006-2007, under my original username, bendaimmortal. I made some 10 PotO videos then.

They got lost in 2008 by unfortunate events, after I tried to move them from that, to a new account, in means to dedicate the original one to just Peter Pan.

Two of my very first, I managed to find from a memory stick and I'll be re-uploading them here. The rest, I will be remaking soon-ish.

UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE ON THIS CHANNEL, my YouTube channels aree:
1.) VampireOutlaw (main)
2.) BratPrince84 (multi-fandom)
3.) PeterPanThimblesNet (Peter Pan)
4.) coydog1881 (Young Guns)
5.) SuperBabySimba (Disney)
6.) TheElChivato (non-fanvideo)
7.) BCJFanVids
...and this one.

My username is after my OC fanfiction character, who I created years ago. Samuel, the 5-year old son of Erik and Christine. (Yes, I'm a die-hard E/C shipper, though Raoul is ok.) I made one video featuring little Sam, to the song "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal. It's one of the lost ones, and I may remake it, if I can find where I put all the art I made about the boy...

I've been a huge PotO fan since early 2005. Saw the ALW musical movie version in theatre, COMPLETELY unaware of what it actually was about. I'd heard the theme song and thought there was actually a phantom. :P

That's one of the reasons why it's one of the few movies of which I actually remember the first time I watched them. I especially remember, when Raoul regognized Christine during "Think of Me". My immediate, genuine first thought was: "And who the HELL is this dude?" I really didn't like him at all and turned out he stole the girl and then I hated him. :D

Ok, ok, of course I realized Christine was better off with him and he wasn't really a bad person. And the ending of the film is fine. You see Christine, as she leaves with Raoul, looking back at Erik, singing "Shate each day with me, each night, each morning." and Erik singing back "You alone can make my song take flight." And then the very ending, where it's implied Raoul always knew an essential part of Christine's heart had always belonged to Erik, that's why he brought the music box to her grave. And how the rose and engagement ring - certainly brought by Erik, since Raoul was so shoked - implied that he and Christine would finally be together, in eternity.

But I hate the silent film that could've been perfect. It was stunningly faithful to the novel UNTIL in the very end they totally rape the srory!! RARW!!! And don't even get me started on the Dario Argento shit...

Which leads me to that I like the original story too a lot, it's SO clearly meant to be horror (and I love horror) with only slight touch of romance (which makes horror only greater.) The complete opposite of the ALW musical. Also, I totally love the profit fanfiction from Susan Kay, called "Phantom". Warmly recommendable to any PotO fan and especially E/C shippers. I have two copies of it. :P

Unfortunately I haven't seen the actual stage musical LIVE, because I live in Finland and they haven't brought it here. But I've seen couple of low quality filmings on YouTube. And heard many audio versions. My favorite stage Phantom is absolutely John Owen-Jones and I wish I could've seen him perform live.

As said, I disliked Raoul from the very moment he regognized Christine, even though I didn't even know anything about Erik yet or what the story would bring. And then I hated Raoul, but I have never appreciated the fanfics which paint him as an abusive drunk as Christine's husband. That's just tastless. As I said, he isn't a bad person. Just a little annoying fop, with a kind heart. Eventually, I became to like his character, in a humorous way, 'cause he's such an ultimate Prince Charming. He even rode the white horse to save the damsel in distress!

~MY PERFECT ENDING?~
The way I'd have liked the 2004 film to end. First I quote and laugh for someone else's perfect ending (because it's great) and then go into details with mine.

I'm a member of Love SHOULD Die at Facebook. Here's my rant-ish review of that piece of shit sequel that I don't recall anyone ever asking for anyway:
