Masks for Days

“The darkness he feared was in his own mind and there was no light in the universe powerful enough to take that darkness from him.”

Weird girl Christines! My beloved! Here's a potential list of some weirdo Christines (keep in mind a lot of these fall into the "dreamy head in the clouds" Christine, but the difference is these have a little extra dose of intensity and crazed energy):

Sarah Brightman - She's very much your protoypical spacey Christine, but at the same time - look at those eyes. Look at her expressions under the Phantom's spell. This is a Christine who's tried to repress all her weird tendencies for the sake of appearing more normal, which means that when she gets the opportunity (or the excuse) to let it out, she lets it out big time.

Meredith Braun - Here's what you need to do with her: watch her 'Little Lotte' and 'Angel of Music' scenes, and then watch her 'Final Lair'. Braun's Christine is basically a little girl who is also quite capable of contemplating murder. If she lived in the modern day, she'd probably have been that five year old who would giggle during the gory bits of horror movies.

Anna O'Byrne - Listen, Leroux's Christine was a weird girl. This was a girl who Raoul finds sitting in a graveyard in the evening and the first thing she asks him is, "Do you think there'll be korrigans tonight?" or something like that. So when I say a Christine is Leroux-accurate, she's basically guaranteed to be a weird girl. That's Anna O'Byrne's Christine right there; she is exactly the type to be sitting in a graveyard all day, wondering about spirits.

Lauri Brons - Take Anna O'Byrne's Christine, add in a hefty dose of Sarah Brightman crazy-eyes, and mix with a liberal helping of manic, twitchy intensity that's all her own. She's so weird girl she's on the verge of becoming disturbed girl.

Kelly Mathieson - Okay, hear me out. Kelly Mathieson is a weird girl, but she's, like, subtle about it. I mean, look at this. Her Christine has probably been harboring secret kinky dreams half her life and the Phantom has finally allowed her to unleash it. (And I say: good for her.)
