Is this supposed to be making fun of Phantom of the Opera?...A badly burned man (who also happens to be named Eri(k)) who is in love with a young woman and lives under some building...

I enjoyed watching this movie and saw it on USA Network back when they would show movies like this on Saturdays and Sundays. Now they do not do this anymore which is really awful!

Then they had a show late on the weekends on Friday and Saturday nights called USA UP ALL NIGHT! Friday nights were Rhonda Shear and Saturday nights were done by Gilbert Gottfried. I liked it but possibly other people may not.

So this is like a spoof of Phantom Of The Opera. I find it different when they come up with movies like this you know.
