I watched this movie on Christmas, and now it dominates like half of what I think about on any given day. Thank you YT algorithm. I've found my people. My ... bonkers ... lovely people.
I saw PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE at the theatre when it was first released, and was totally gobsmacked! I’ve owned the VHS tape, I still have the DVD and the CD soundtrack. I’ve written about it in Scary Monsters magazine. For decades, I’ve said that if ROCKY HORROR didn’t exist, PHANTOM would have taken on a different life and filled the void. The look of the film, the sets, the colour scheme, the costumes (especially the mask!), the script, everything comes together in a way that films rarely do these days. Then, there’s the music: The best thing about the film is that Paul Williams wrote the music, and the worst thing about it is that Paul Williams wrote the music. Make of that what you will.
This would be a perfect trailer for this amazing film. I saw it for the first time in 1981 after a midnight showing of Rocky Horror--I'm happy to see there are still fans, both old and new ones.
"S" is exactly what I hoped it would be.

Love how Swan's creepy smile is accompanied by ":D" 😂
"Can't you feel the vibes in your own house, man? I mean the karma's so thick around here you need an aqualung to breathe" is the Most 70s Line Ever!
I'm so glad fandom exists
always thought "I" would be "Ink isn't worth anything to me Winslow, now sign"
T should have been 'tasty Winslow tasty'
Well, THIS has to be among the most interesting fan videos I've ever seen - and for a film that needs more of them, too. Top hole.
This is amazing
I couldn't stop laughing. This was perfect.
I've watched this over like 40 times now and it still surprises me when 'N' isn't "No more suicides, Winslow."
Excellent.
Thank you Winslow for teaching me how to read :)
need more phantom of the paradise fan videos in my life omg

This is so perfect! Especially
I am so glad this exists, just like the movie itself! And this is so well edited! 👏💖
LIFE AT LAST!
Simple perfection
