Best Answer

Gaston Leroux meant for it to be a Horror/mystery novel, but he connected it to some real life events, such as the chandelier crashing. The Phantom of the Opera is believed to be based on a true story, meaning that there may have really been a disfigured genius who lived beneath the Opera House.
