* [[Based on a True Story]]/[[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: Many of the events and people in Leroux's original novel were real; likewise places like the lake under the Opera House exist. There is [http://www.messynessychic.com/2014/08/26/unmasking-the-parisian-phantom-of-the-opera/?PageSpeed=noscript some evidence] that the novel, in broad strokes, at least, depicts real events.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: The original screenplay of the 1943 version revealed that Erique was Christine's father. But the execs at Universal were afraid that viewers would think the relationship between Christine and The Phantom had [[Squick|incestuous overtones]], so that revelation was cut out.
** Incidentally, it's entirely possible to watch the movie with this in mind, and it makes just as much sense as the canonical unrequited-love plot (since Erique's interest in Christine, unlike his counterparts in other versions, ''is'' more of an ambiguous deep concern for her that could go either way).
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
** [[Hello, Dolly!|Cornelius Hackl]], Angel of the Night.
** [[Watchmen (film)|Dan Dreiberg]], Vicomte de Chagny.
** [[
** [[Les Misérables (theatre)|Cosette]], Christine Daae.
** [[Doctor Who|Charles Dickens]], Firmin (or is it Andre?).
Line 24 ⟶ 25:
** Why is the Phantom's mask on the poster different from the one seen in the show? It's because that was the original mask design. However, it was soon realized that this 3/4 mask would make it REALLY hard for the Phantom to emote for the cheap seats, so the mask was cut in half.
