      This is going to be well worth the wait. There's so much that goes into compiling and editing a documentary that few people can imagine the amount of research and work involved. Particularly in the case of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, the amount of material and information is staggering. As soon as you think you've uncovered it all, something else worth including turns up. Thank you, Cortlandt, for opting to do it right vs. doing it quickly. I'm so glad that I'm a backer and look forward to this project's completion.

      We're at the year anniversary of this Kickstarter. Any updates? Last we heard the DVD was supposed to be out in Jan 2013 and it's now March.

      Hi David, Stuart & our other supporters -

      Thank you all so much for your support. We head out as a guest of "Monsterpalooza" soon, with our "Phantom" display, we are beginning to arrange for filming interviews while we are
      out there, and some on the trip back, as our classic monsters will not fly - they must be
      chauffeured out to Burbank, Ca.!

      Thanks again - Cortlandt

      I'm so glad I made it before the funding ended. "Phantom" is one of my favorite silent films and an important historical link to a long lost era of Hollywood. Good luck Cortland, I know you will deliver more than anyone expects.

      I hope this project will be funded. I, like Forrest J Ackerman, am a true lover of the artistry of Lon Chaney and Classic Horror actors. I have met "Uncle" Forree, but never Cortlandt. Perhaps that time will come!!

      Oh no! I truly hope there is a flood of backers this week!

      If not, will this continue on your website? I want to keep up with/get to know your projects.
