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

I love this movie but I'll be honest, it has some really cheese romance flash back scenes that make me want to drink myself stupid.
Wow! What a surprise. Nice 80's version of the real "Phantom."
very fun 80s camp loved it
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
