Here comes a great month for new Phantom stuff!
Horrified by Lauren DeLuca is a comedy revolving around a frazzled theater manager being harassed by mysterious accidents and disappearing performers. DeLuca's done straight Phantom adaptations before, so this one is likely to be more than a little bit the same story, this time with a humorous twist.
Erik's Tale by Jessica Mason is a prequel to her adaptation of the original story, focusing largely on Erik's childhood and adolescence and specifically his time being exhibited in the traveling carnival, in the Shah's court in Persia, and various new European adventures in between.
Phantom by K.M. Mixon is a modern-day version of the story, revolving around a young woman writer who tries to retreat to work on a book only to have to deal with both a frightening stalker obsessed with her talent and a sexy landlord who may be her only hope.
The Phantom of Netherfield by Abbey North is exactly what you might be expecting - a Phantom and Pride & Prejudice crossover, in which Lizzie inherits a theater and tries to keep it afloat while a Fitzwilliam Phantom moons over her from below the stage. (For those wondering, Raoul has been cast as Wickham, so this is not a particularly pro-Raoul adaptation, I suspect.)
Phantom: The Musical is a professionally shot version of the 1991 Yeston/Kopit musical, which is extremely popular in Asia and often sees lush adaptations. This is the newest one from South Korea, featuring k-pop idol Kyuhyun from the group Super Junior in the lead role.
Phantom Fun-World is an amusement-park slasher featuring a masked Phantom who menaces Fun World and its employees, apparently due to some past trauma or betrayal. (Fun to wonder if it owes anything to the 1979 KISS film, or the Wonder Woman episode!)
Synthwave: The Phantom of the Opera is one of those neat projects putting a new spin on the 1925 Lon Chaney film, with new custom color and music to change its vibes. (These are always cool because they come close to the original theatrical experience - the movie would have been accompanied by a live organ- or piano-player and thus would have had different soundtracks at different performances!)
