Deep below the labyrinth was a lake. After descending what seemed like an endless spiral of stairs, we came upon its desolate shores. Its black expanse appeared suddenly from nowhere, its dark waters lit by candelabras fashioned like arms holding torches.
This is obviously drawn from Phantom of the Opera, but the candelabras shaped like arms—while in the Broadway show—was definitely lifted from Jacques Cocteau's La belle et la bête. (Gorgeous film, highly recommend!)
