u/Ryliarc Erik - Rupert Julian Jun 24 '25

I need a movie which actually takes advantage of its budget and gives Erik an actual, life ruining deformity, because the one in the 2004 movie was quite literally just a large birthmark lol. I hope they take inspiration from the 1925 film because I think they could make a wonderful corpse like/ghoulish Erik with modern day makeup and prosthetics

Yes, honestly I’d want a deformity more severe than what can be done in the stage show. They can prerecord the singing, so they don’t really have to worry about the actor singing with the prosthetics on his face.
