Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge
Directed by Richard Friedman
With numerous interpretations of Gaston Leroux’s classic novel The Phantom of the Opera having been turned out over the years, it was only a matter of time before the slasher genre decided to take a stab at the tale – step forward 1989’s Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge! High school sweethearts Eric Matthews and Melody Austin are so in love, but their youthful romance is cut tragically short when Eric apparently dies in a fire that engulfs his family home. One year later and Melody is trying to move on with her life, taking up a job at the newly built Midwood Mall along with her friends. But the mall, which stands on the very site of Eric’s former home, has an uninvited guest – a shadowy, scarred figure which haunts its airducts and subterranean passageways, hellbent on exacting vengeance on the mall’s crooked developers.
A year after Melody's high school sweetheart dies in a fire, a shadowy killer has taken up residence in the new mall that stands on his former home.
Cast: Derek Rydall, Jonathan Goldsmith, Pauly Shore

Not bad. Love the 80's nostalgia
Partner and I loved this movie! All around fun time. I support Eric and his revenge, but he did go slightly off the rails by the end. But thats what happens when you f*** around and find out! 3.7/5 with love
Loved this! I’m a Phan of anything Phantom of the Opera or anything related! Great movie with a good plot! Enjoyed some fun celebrity finds starting in their career! Keep an eye out for Paula Shore!
this was really an excellent movie
I don't care what people will say about this movie I thought it was excellent especially for fans of 80s horror flicks. Spoilers, Everything was really paced out well and had plenty of gore and scares with the right amount of back story . I liked how it kept me guessing on who was behind the fire at Erics place, ending was quite predictable and a little sad she really just turned her back on her ex kind of felt for him not gonna lie. Overall this is a fun watch I'd recommend doing a double feature of this movie and chopping mall . Five skulls.
