The Ten Commandments of the Fundamentalist Church of Erik
Erik is the Lord your Phantom; you shall not have any other Phantoms besides him without paying due respect to Gaston Leroux's original as well.
Thou shalt not squee over graven images of barely deformed Phantoms without acknowledging that Erik looked like a death's head.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy Erik and ask of it "Who's Erik?"
Remember to keep holy the original novel.
Honour the true origins of thine Erik, who did not grow up in an opera house.
Thou shalt not forget that Erik had quite a few good reasons to kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery against Erik.
Thou shalt not steal Susan Kay's Phantom from the library, you selfish b*****d.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against Erik by saying any of the other versions are "more accurate" than the original novel.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Phantom collection if they haven't read Leroux.

Remember, Erik loves you - but that doesn't mean he won't send you to burn in eternal hellfire in his mirrored chamber.
