As we plunge DEEP into the heart of the Halloween season, I couldn’t resist reviving my vector rendition of The Phantom of the Opera with a chilling encore. This iconic figure, shrouded in mystery and menace, deserves a fresh twist to haunt your imagination.
In my original version, I framed him against the majestic pipes of a grand organ, evoking the eerie echoes of the opera house. However, after watching the 1943 Technicolor classic featuring Claude Rains and the 1962 Hammer horror with Herbert Lom on the Universal Monster streaming channel, inspiration struck. I relocated my spectral Phantom to the dank, labyrinthine sewers beneath the streets of Paris—a fittingly macabre setting that amplifies his otherworldly presence. The damp stone walls and shadowy tunnels now set the stage for his sinister lurking.
