Then 11 years later, he decided to adapt Phantom in it's entirety. Fucking awful movie...not only one of Argento's worst, but probably the worst take on Phantom that I've seen.

I get what you're saying, but based on the '87 synopsis, 'girl works in theater, gets stalked by obsessed, crazy killer guy who wants her all to himself, and is jealous of anyone who gets close to her', seems derivative of 'Phantom of the Opera' to me...On the otherhand, I do NOT believe that I have seen the other one that you mentioned...Now I'll have to watch both of them...Even if the other one is "fucking awful"...That has never stopped me. *giggle* :D
Thanks for mentioning that :)
EDIT: Oh, but I DO mix things up like crazy...Pegged me on that one :D
