The Doctor Who story The Caves of Androzani shares
many similarities to Leroux's work, although the
circumstances of Sharaz Jek's disfigurement owe more to
the 1943 film version.
"The Phantom Opera Ghost" is a song done by Iced
Earth on their Album "Horror Show"
In the pilot episode of Clerks: The Animated Series the
Phantom can been seen briefly in a sewer watching a
signal go through a cable line.
MeatLoaf's video for the 1993 song "I'd Do Anything
for Love (but I Won't Do That)" is based on Phantom of
the Opera as well as Beauty and the Beast.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestler The
Undertaker had to wear a Phantom of the Opera like mask
after Mabel fractured Undertaker's orbital eye bone in
1995.
In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episode Timing Is
Everything, a poster can be seen for Alien of the Opera,
an obvious parody of The Phantom.
The Phantom appears in Waxwork.
In Gremlins 2: The New Batch, one of the Gremlins
gets splashed with acid on his face. He immediately dons
a mask and imitates the Phantom.
In the webcomic, CONvicts[5], pages 78-85[6] deal
with David, Andrew, and Alex going to the Masquerade to
hunt down the Masquerade Ghost (dressed as Webber's
Phantom) for a reward. Throughout the arc the Masquerade
Ghost crashes a chendelier and takes down his opponents
not by strangling them, but kicking them in the groin.
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
