In the Japanese horror movie, Ring 0: Birthday, the
main character, Sadako Yamamura, a character similar to
the Phantom, wears a half mask in an amateur play called
'Mask'. Also, the leading actress, Aiko, is killed to
make room for Sadako, as Carlotta was replaced by
Christine. A lighting rig also crashes to the stage,
like the chandelier.
The rose and mask logo appears in the 'Irregarding
Steve' episode of American Dad, in which Steve and Roger
run away to New York City.
In the movie "Meet the Robinsons", Grandpa makes a
Phantom reference when the peanut butter and jelly
machine breaks down.
In a very short-lived Saturday NBC series titled The
Kids from C.A.P.E.R. (1976-1977), there is an episode
titled "The Phantom of the Drive-in Movie." One of the
team members, Bugs, describes the falling chandelier
scene from the 1943 movie. As the others remind him that
they are at a drive-in movie and thus should fear no
such thing this time, a chandelier comes crashing down.
In an episode of MacGyver, MacGyver's mortal enemy
Murdoc, who was horribly disfigured due to a
flamethrower accident in a previous episode, disguises
himself with a prosthetic face and goes by the name
Jacques Leroux (an obvious reference to Gaston Leroux).
He falls in love with MacGyver's friend Penny Parker,
eventually kidnapping her, and the episode climaxes in
an underground lair filled with booby traps
