Description After I designed my entry for the Phantom club ID competition I had some left over pictures I hadn't used, so I thought I'd make yet another infamous Police Lineup. I wanted to use more Phantoms, like the Charles Dance version and the Ken Hill version, but I wanted to try to keep the number of psychotic disfigured musical geniuses to a minimum.

Herbert Lom
The Phantom of the Opera (1962)

I’ve never seen this version, I never heard anything particularly great about it, yet I included him for some reason. I was going to replace him with the Ken Hill version, but I never got around to it...


Claude Rains
Phantom of the Opera (1943)

I remember Claude Rains’ phantom from when I was a child and when I first got into Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical version. I became interested in Phantom and after finding my old plastic Batman mask I cut off the ears and put on a cloak and ran around pretending to be Claude Rains. I have the dvd, I like elements of it, but overall it’s pretty disappointing. I do enjoy Claude Rains portrayal of the Phantom though, he just looks so cool! I love his mask and cloak and the hat he wears, he has my favourite phantom costume.


Young Erik
Susan Kay's Phantom

I think out of all the Eriks and Phantoms I like the child Erik from Susan Kay’s Phantom the best. I just felt so sorry for him, he was such a sad character, and he still had an innocence about him. The scene where Erik asks for his birthday present from his mother is the scene I’ll never forget, it was just so tragic.

Lon Chaney
The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

Lon Chaney played an excellent Erik, his film was fairly true to the book, the ending is the only part I dislike. What stands out is his amazing makeup though… he was a truly haunting character.

I know if I hadn't included him, I would be upsetting some very loyal phans.

Erik
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

Without this happy fellow, none of the rest of these opera ghosts would exsist. I admit I took some liberties with his clothing, I think it's likely Erik would be wearing something less colourful.

Michael Crawford
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera

I chose Michael Crawford because he is my favourite Lloyd Webber Phantom. Some other favourites include Brad Little and Steve Barton. However, well... I won't waste any more space going on about Crawford or Barton, as I've got a few deviations for that purpose.

Enjoy.

"I became interested in Phantom and after finding my old plastic Batman mask I cut off the ears and put on a cloak and ran around pretending to be Claude Rains."

Hehe, when I was a kid, and I finally starting singing "phantom of the opera" instead of "family of the opera" I used to pretend I was Ms. Daae...wait a sec...I still do that...O.o


"I think out of all the Eriks and Phantoms I like the child Erik from Susan Kay’s Phantom the best. I just felt so sorry for him, he was such a sad character, and he still had an innocence about him."

I totally agree with you on this one! Kay's version of Erik has deffinatly become my favorite!

I think of all the phantom's you have here, I like the Leroux version the best...
btw, good luck on the ID contest!

lol, we could play Phantom of the Opera! Though I don't think I have my old plastic mask anymore

You don't think the Leroux version is a bit flashy? I'm not too happy on how colourful he is.

Hmm...*takes a second look* Nope, deffinatly not to flashy. *nodnod* I wouldn't change a thing about it.

It's ok that you don't have your mask, cause I don't have the beauty...ooo...Maybe I could play Eric maskless! ^.^

Yay! Great job! They all look wonderful but I think my favourites are 3, 5 & 6...lol I think they are the hopelessly romantic's choice ^_^ Lon Chaney did a good job but for some reason I didn't like his Erik too much...it was his mask...it moved too much...especially when he breathed lol

lol, his mask moved too much

You're right in that some of the Phantoms definately have are more romantic feel than others.
