Old, old art. Almost a decade ago. Don’t think I posted it here, but it came back up in memories, and man, I missed this kind of work! Book covers in ink and watercolor.
Also I know the movie pisses off a lot of fans, but I still think the red death costume for the movie slaps in that. For stage, probably not, but on film, hellll yeahhhh.
(Also he looks like he’s mimicking Raoul, and that’s on point for the character.)
Ok just finished watching The Phantom of the Opera (1983) with Maximilian Schell and Jane Seymour. My rating is 3/5, which honestly is low-key high lol. A rather large portion of the film was very slow, but Schell's Phantom was really cute and super interesting. This is also the first time an adaptation actually creeped me out too! The story is 99% its own thing as well. Would I recommend it though? Only if you're interested - ONLY - in the Phantom and nothing else, cause he's really the only good thing in it. They don't even have the same names as their original characters. I rank it as 8 out of 11 of the Phantom movies I've watched.
I took a clip of a scene that low-key freaked me out below.
