(1992) Andrew Lloyd Webber- The Premiere Collection Encore
**Will get to this entry shortly
Where to see them:

(1998) "Everybody" by The Backstreet Boys (AJ is The Phantom)
I don't really like The Backstreet Boys all that much, but their video for the song Everybody, is actually pretty adorable, especially if you really like monsters like I do. One guy from the band is a Dracula type thing, another is a werewolf, there a mummy and a Jekyll and Hyde (I think...) and omg, one of them is even dressed up as The Phantom. I believe that the guys name dressed up as Erik is AJ. AJ as Erik mainly sits around a big banquet table the whole video with his hot collection if bitches. Later, they dance. I think this is all I need to say here.
Where to watch it: Youtube!

(1998) Rob Zombie- "Return of The Phantom Stranger"
First appeared on a home video called, Rob Zombie: Past, Present, and Future. The Guy playing the organ at the very beginning of this video is often credited with being The Phantom of The Opera. I for one frankly think it is. Check him out in the pictures below!

(2001) Conducting Dario Argento's 'Opera'
Music by Claudio Simonetti, of the band Goblin.
The was a collection of music videos, made for the promotion of the Dario Argento classic, Opera (Also known as Terror at The Opera.) Also includes making of footage. A very interesting look into a film I personally love. Goblin wrote the music for many of Dario Argentos movies though to my knowledge he had nothing at all to do with any of the music of Aegentos other Phantom movie,
Where to buy: This documentary was released on DVD editions of Dario Argentos Opera-I know for a fact it was on the 2001 single disk set. Not sure at this time if it was also on the double disk set. I'm pretty sure this was also released as a separate thing on its own... That's how I first saw it. Going to have to double check that it wasn't a bootleg though, hahaha.

(2002) "The Phantom of The Opera" by Valensia
Valensia Clarkson of the Netherlands, heads one of the most famous Queen cover band of all time. I believe this is one of his original compositions.
What puzzles me is that the song doesn't really seem to have anything at all do with The Phantom of The Opera. The video doesn't really either. I honestly have no idea why its called by that little. I'll get the lyrics on here at some point so that everyone can judge for them selves. Some of the words are rather hard to hear so I'm waiting to find an official source.
There are apparently several versions of this video, and the song itself. On the actually Valensia album, the video is just about 13 minuets long, and is something of a little movie, including scenes of a strange mummy like creature. However I also found an alternative version, without the scenes of The Mummy guy, on Youtube not long ago, that was only around 7 minuets long. I also have an audio version of the song that's only 3 minuets.

(2004) The History of Iron Maiden, Pt. 1: The Early Days
Iron Maiden is (was): Paul Di'Anno, Steve Harris, Dennis Stratton, Dave Murry, Clive Burr
The History of Iron Maiden, does not include any true music video of Iron Maidens song, "The Phantom of The Opera," though it does include a lot of concert footage of the band performing the song, with their original lead vocalist, Paul Di'Anno. This is a really rare treat for those out there that love old Maiden.
The photo above is a picture of the single for the song, "The Phantom of The Opera"
Iron Maidens envisioning of the Phantom was recently made into an action figure! Check em out! You can get him here: http://www.amazon.com/Maiden-Phantom-Opera-Action-Figure/dp/B000MGHUEG/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-6168991-8055337?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1183260752&sr=1-2 its a great action figure, I have him myself.
