Enough foolishness and on with the plot, Erik: The Phantom Of The Opera revolves around your attempts to rescue your beloved girlfriend (yup, another sexist arcade game folks) Christine (and I thought Christine was a car?), from the clutches of the eponymous Erik.
Christine, you see, is the latest star of the Paris Opera - Erik is a musical genius driven mad by a terrible accident which scarred his face so badly that he has to wear a mask, meaning he's really loopy and all that.

 Hollywood Gothique: The Phantom of the Opera (1925) Retrospective
The Phantom, of course, is no ghost but an ingenious, deformed man named Erik who has kept himself hidden from the outside world, but now he demands Christine’s love in return for the musical instruction he has given her.
Christine was finally able to look past Erik's ugly countenance and show him some measure of the love he sought; this, in turn, transformed his own obsessive possessiveness regarding her into a true love, and he realized that he no longer wished to hold her against her will.
Erik himself is a monster in the classic mold, like the nameless creation in Mary Shelly's FRANKENSTEIN: a man despised for his ugliness, and thus doomed to a life of sexual frustration, who years for love and acceptance, even while he vents his anger in lethal displays of destruction.

 Tales From the Shadows: The Phantom of the Opera
Although there is no concrete evidence that the Phantom existed, the story of an intelligent and talented man whom society condemned to the basement of an opera house because of his ugliness is a plausible one.
