So I am a big PHANTOM nerd - here is a little thread of my articles I did on PHANTOM OF THE OPERA adaptations. I had to abandon it because school got so busy back in 2021, but maybe I should start it up again. Here’s my write up on the original novel: dailydead.com/phantom-thre... - ThreadSky

So I am a big PHANTOM nerd - here is a little thread of my articles I did on PHANTOM OF THE OPERA adaptations. I had to abandon it because school got so busy back in 2021, but maybe I should start it up again. Here’s my write up on the original novel: https://dailydead.com/phantom-thread-examining-and-celebrating-nearly-100-years-of-phantom-of-the-opera-adaptations/

Have you ever read Phantom by Susan Kay?

I have this but haven’t read it yet!

I think you'll really appreciate it.

Awesome. I got a bunch of phantom art I’m revealing in little bit. I’m a huge phantom fan as well!

Oh heck yes!!!! 🙌🏻

Next up is my celebration of the version of PHANTOM that we’re watching tonight. It’s a movie that was hugely influential on me as a kid when I started discovering classic horror: https://dailydead.com/phantom-thread-exhuming-the-macabre-melodrama-of-the-phantom-of-the-opera-1925/

Then, I wrote about the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA cartoon adaptation from the 1980s which I found to be charming despite some minor issues: https://dailydead.com/phantom-thread-time-to-get-animated-with-the-1988-phantom-of-the-opera-cartoon/

Very curious to see how John Fusco’s PHANTOM (filming soon) works out: early 20th century New Orleans, Alan Ritchson.

I am soooooooo ridiculously excited for it!

When Joel Schumacher passed away, I just had to show his version of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA some love because I absolutely adore every sumptuous moment in it. And Gerry Butler. And sweaty babyfaced Patrick Wilson: https://dailydead.com/phantom-thread-its-time-to-give-joel-schumachers-phantom-of-the-opera-adaptation-its-due/

And the last write up I did on a PHANTOM adaptation was for the TV-movie version which is a little weird but kinda rad in a FADE TO BLACK kind of way. Worth finding if you can, I dug it, even if it has some issues: https://dailydead.com/phantom-thread-the-phantom-of-hollywood-is-a-charmingly-uneven-love-letter-to-the-glory-days-of-tinsel-town/
