@Fangvampirehunter50 "The Phantom of the Opera" is not an opera, it's ABOUT an opera. I know it's not too obvious, and you're forgiven as it is a common mistake.

The music is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. By Bach. Thumbs up for spreading the word and ending the endless music questions

0:29 is where the band The Misfits got its skull logo

Review insidious it fukin scary

[animationdude56]

@ThomasMFilms well, we all have different opinions. It's not bad (certainly not as bad as The Twin Dilemma) but not as good as Inferno. Somewhere between good, great and ok.

@animationdude56 What you talkin 'bout?! Tomb of the Cybermen is awesome!

what happend to all the london after midnight copies

[animationdude56]

I think that if London After Midnight is ever found, it'll probably turn out to be average (although a copy would be pretty cool). Here's an example:

Tomb of the Cybermen, a 60's serial of Doctor Who which was previously among the list of many lost serials of this programme, was found in 1993, 26 years after it was broadcast. During this time, it had gained a reputation in fandom for being the best Doctor Who ever, but when people watched it on VHS, it turned out to be average.

0:28-0:29 ... Thats fuckin' awesome.

As true to Leroux's phantom as Lon Chaney was, the movie would've been even better had they kept to the original plotline AND had not let hack director Ruper Julian anywhere NEAR the film! Originally, the first version followed the novel quite closely, and the Phantom's last words were, "All I ever wanted, Daroga, was to be loved". He lived with hate and died for love. So yes - there definitely was a romantic theme in the midst of this mystery/horror story. Lon Chaney was the greatest!!

@YeMightyDespair

Well put. Personally I think the Claude rains version is my favorite both because it presents him in a sympathetic light while at the same time acknowledging his crimes. He's obsessed, pitiable, and villainous all at once. It's a great performance.
