Half-mask & half deformed/beauty. But only if the deformity is more like in the stage play. Not the Sunburn of Doom from the 2004 film... The original is great too, of course, and in its utter level more impressive and maybe more tragic, but... To me it's more inspiring, when a beauty and monstrous deformity is combined and met with the level of hatred as Erik was. Mirrors what his soul had became because of man's hatred of ugliness.

i definetly agree with you bendaimmortal!!

I agree with bendaimmortal.

I don't get it.

The half mask is iconically Phantom. Plus it adds to the horror effect when the mask is taken off.

i like how he looked in the stage show

I do like how it looks in the stage show but I also understand it was only done that way to help the performers..
I prefer the full mask/corpse looks it just adds so much more horror to it really..

LOL sunburn of doom! That's great! I feel the full on corpse look really drives the point of the story home but if we are talking about the ALW version I like that almost as much. Both are pretty extreme so I can't really say I prefer one too much over the other.

Lol, sunburn of doom XD
