The Phantom of the Opera is a popular and iconic story that has had many well-known adaptations, with the title character often being considered particularly memorable. As with most successes, the concept of a "phantom of the X" has since been used countless times since its introduction. In comparison to the original, characters based on the Phantom are often varied. Sometimes they are a Captain Ersatz, sometimes they're a thoughtful parody of their inspiration, but they often share a few key features:
The character will almost always wear some kind of mask.note Oftentimes people forget the original novel's Phantom had a full black mask; the movies and the play made the popular White Mask of Doom a staple. Usually this mask covers only half of the character's face, but full masks aren't unheard of. The mask usually covers some kind of gruesome deformity or horrifying scars, though as with the original Phantom, the derivative characters have gotten Progressively Prettier over the years.
The Theatre Phantom will often haunt a place of entertainment, with live action theaters being the most commonly used as the character's stomping grounds because the Phantom can potentially harm the people who attend, as well as damage the establishment's revenue and reputation. Sometimes, they aren't associated with a single location at all.
The Theatre Phantom will either be depicted as a Badass Normal or actually be a supernatural creature when finally confronted.
They'll often be dressed in evening clothes.
They tend towards being a Large Ham, due to where they dwell and the efforts they make to inspire fear.
They may play scary music on a pipe organ.
If a character like this does appear, don't expect many other references to the original story. The Theatre Phantom may act similar to the Trope Namer in the original story, but often the other characters and the plot of the original work will never be alluded to at all.

There is an episode of The Snorks (called "Summer and Snork"), where Junior takes on a Phantom-like role to scare All-Star out of the lead part. Tooter takes over the role of a crossover between Sherlock Holmes and The Persian from the Gaston Leroux novel.

The Simpsons:
"Flaming Moe's": During Homer's haughty speech from the rafters when he reveals that the Flaming Moe's secret ingredient is cough syrup, notice the robe deftly draped over his face like the Phantom's mask (from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical).
In "Lisa's Wedding", an episode set in the future, Martin Prince went missing after a science fair explosion and lives beneath the school, playing the piano and wearing a Phantom mask.
In "Treehouse of Horror XX", Barney is shown on a boat emerging from the mist at Moe's bar. He is dressed up like the Phantom from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical and sings about how Moe's beer is great.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987): An episode titled "Phantom of the Sewers" has the eponymous character haunting a pizza restaurant. The Phantom even has a secret lair full of booby traps! It turns out that his business partner had betrayed him (as he wanted to use the robots he'd built) and threw chemicals in his face, disfiguring him. But in another twist, the "chemicals" were actually paint, so his face wasn't actually disfigured at all.

Zizz from the pop'n music series is a literal phantom that takes many of the cues from the Phantom of the Opera - including an Ominous Opera Cape, a White Mask of Doom that covers half his face, and an Ominous Pipe Organ for background music - and has Marionette Master powers on top of it. Like the original Phantom, he attempts to take control of his own "Christine", ALT, only he does it with greater force.

Supernatural: In "Monster Movie", Sam is seen walking into a moviehouse called the Goethe Theater after hours. The feature film is The Phantom of the Opera. In the stereotypical Phantom fashion, a "mysterious" shadowy figure inside is at the organ playing Bach's "Toccata and Fugue". Believing this organist to be a murdering shape-shifter, Sam sneaks up behind him in a gender-bender parody of the unmasking scene in an attempt to tear off his ear. This turns out to be an embarrassing mistake for Sam.

Maskerade presents the Discworld's take on The Phantom of the Opera, with the mysterious 'Opera Ghost' haunting the Ankh-Morpork Opera House - formerly considered the luck of the show, in a superstitious sort of way, he left encouraging or critical little notes, and curious flowers for a singer after a particularly good performance. As the new owner is informed, he comes with the place, like the draughts and the rats. Unfortunately, he's gone mad and now, members of the opera are dropping like flies out of the flies. Ultimately, there's a twist - there turn out to be two different Opera Ghosts, one of whom is perfectly benign and harmless even allowing for his possible DID, while the other is a cold-blooded murderer who took up his mask for convenience, using terror to destroy the opera, and gaslit the original into keeping quiet. However, even the benign one is ultimately shown to be a bit shallow, and the whole nature of opera is shown to be utterly ridiculous..

Uncle Deadly in The Muppet Show. In episode 121, he is "the Phantom of the Muppet Show". One by one, the Muppets tell Kermit that they have seen a phantom, but Kermit refuses to believe them until he sees Uncle Deadly with his own eyes. Once revealed, Uncle Deadly explains that he used to perform at the Muppet Theater, where he played Othello until he was killed... by the critics.

He also returns in the third game as Dark Phantom, though at this point, he's already gone insane and after being defeated falls to his death.

Crayon Shin-chan have a What If? manga story that spoofs this trope (released around the same time as the 2004 Hollywood film) in which Shin-Chan is the Phantom and Nanako as Christine Daae. Shin-Chan's phantom isn't disfigured in any way however, working as a janitor while using the phantom guise as a Secret Identity to reclaim his birthright, the opera house who was stolen by his parents' subordinate leading to his parents' deaths. At the end of the story, Shin-Chan's parents appears to spook the villains into giving up, proving that there are actual Phantoms in the Opera after all.

Scooby-Doo has gotten some mileage out of this kind of character. The fact that the original story was a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax (Long before Scooby-Doo was around) too probably helps.
In Scooby-Doo! Stage Fright, there are five different people, each one of them acting independently of the others, who make appearances as the same Phantom at the same theater.

An abridged version of the original story called "Spooks", featuring the Winkler and Lantz version of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit of course has a ghoulish Phantom. After Cornering Oswald he asks "What sound does a chicken make when it lays a square egg?" (Cue Oswald saying "Ow!" from the Phantom slapping him), "Correct!" And then he disappears.

In Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, the episode "Vissi d'arte, Vissi d'amore" centers around one. He turns out to be the boyfriend of the opera singer Aiyan, who is living underground with him since people wouldn't approve their relationship.

In Detective Comics (Rebirth) #950 Cassandra Cain is shown to live in the attic of the Gotham opera house, giving rise to a rumor that it is haunted due to her eerie, stitched-up black mask, and she has taken a particular interest in a ballerina named Christine. The allusion is very obvious, though unlike usual examples she is both silent and entirely benign.

The villainous "Phantom of Vaudeville" and his ventriloquist dummy, Elmo, as featured on The Ghost Busters may be a reference to the Phantom, as both are masked, and, as Kong notes, "the only way to send a Phantom back is to unmask him."

MacGyver (1985): In "Cleo Rocks", 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 (a 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.

An episode of The Mask called "Broadway Malady" had The Mask as The Phantom of the Opera who tried to ruin the Mad Monkey Musical with a falling chandelier, but due to budget constraints, was reduced to using a small light fixture (the chandelier fall was seen at the end of the episode when the insane Broadway director creates a musical number with many Mask villains while in prison).

An episode of Histeria! featured a "Dating Game"-type skit with composers instead of suitors, and one was Andrew Lloyd Webber (he was just identified as Andrew) wearing the Phantom's costume while standing in the boat from the title number in the middle of a Gothic, subterranean lake.

The Messenger (2018): Despite his name, Phantom was originally not this trope, but the Demon King fixed that by placing a cursed mask on him and imprisoning him in a music box to play the pipe organ for all eternity.

In Season 9 of Night Court, in episodes 1 (173) and 2 (174), titled "A Guy Named Phantom (Part 1)" and "A Guy Named Phantom (Part 2)", Harry and Christine are both confused over their feelings for each other, but before they can work them out, the deranged Dan (referring to himself as "The Phantom," wearing a mask and cape, and living in hiding) kidnaps Christine at a courthouse costume party.
