Cover art for Like the Dead Would Laugh lyrics by Deadboy and the Elephantmen

The parts where he's not singing, "we laugh like the dead would laugh" makes me think of Phantom of The Opera, specifically when he mentions the Masque of the Red Death, and silent movies... as there was a Phantom of The Opera movie that was silent.

Wonder if it has anything to do with that?
