"Wild wild west!"- Will Smith

I'd noticed that when the video was played constantly a few years back - has elements of POTO, BatB, and Francis Coppolla's version of Dracula.. including falling chandeliers, lots of candles, a throne, and a disembodied voice asking a beautiful girl if she could love it...

I was at the Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls, Canada about two weeks ago.  I was sitting in the bar area waiting for my table, watching the TVs they have set up.  They play all kinds of music videos, and "Let MyLove Open the Door" by Pete Townsend {i think....} {sp?} came on.  It
was a live performance video and in the background there was a screen type thing where pictures were projected of people that fit the song {i.e.. famous screen lovers, civil rights activists, etc.}.  And who pops up but Lon Chaney's Phantom!  .

On the topic of music videos - the Backstreet Boys' video of "Everybody" features a crop of movie monsters, including a hip-hop dancing Phantom with his harem of Christine types... it's.. interesting.

Has anyone seen the Backstreet boys video 'Everybody' The one guy is supposed to be the Phantom, but his mask is on the wrong side of his face. And for you Jekyll and Hyde fans he's in there too!

(from Carin)
There also appears a Phantom in the new clip "everybody" from the Backstreet boys. In the clip they impersonated famous monsters including the Phantom. The person who represented the phantom wore a half grey mask at the wrong side of his face. His forehead was completely covered and underneath the mask you could see a little of the deformity.
