Release

Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

  • The film combines elements of both America's Got Talent (and other similar talent shows) and Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel The Phantom of the Opera, as well as its film and musical adaptations.
    • Notable references to The Phantom of the Opera include:
      • A "Phantom" terrorizes an opera house. In Stage Fright the opera house becomes a disco house, and then a general theatre. Both are terrorized.
      • The Phantom wants Christine to "win". In the original, it's the position of Prima Donna. In Stage Fright, it's Talent Star.
      • The Phantom sabotages Christine's main competition, a more experienced singer/diva named Carlotta, by switching her throat spray with an identical bottle filled with a throat irritant, causing Carlotta to lose her voice.
      • The destruction of the disco ball is a reference to the infamous chandelier scene in the original.
      • Both the Phantom from the original version and the original Phantom live under the opera house, in the sewers, with a working organ, which they both play. They both have expert knowledge about the opera house, especially the secret passageways.
      • The scene where someone appears to be hanging, (until the lights are turned on and it is revealed only to be the Great Pauldini, stuck in one of his tricks and very much alive), is a reference to the original, where the Phantom murders a stagehand by strangulation, and then hangs his body from the rafters.
  • The first piece played by Emma Gale is Movement 1. "Allegro non molto" from Vivaldi's Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, "L'inverno", commonly known as "Winter", from his famous violin concerto set known as "The Four Seasons". Neither of Emma's pieces is listed in the credits.
  • The Great Pauldini's name is a reference to Harry Houdini and possibly to writer Paul Dini, who's married to magician Misty Lee, and wrote a series starring the magician-themed DC character Zatanna.
  • The internet search engine Velma uses, is called, "Giggle", a play on "Google."
  • The Soap Diamond and the Sponge of Turin are references to the famous Hope Diamond and the Shroud of Turin, respectively.
  • Dewey Ottoman's car and crazy driving may be a reference to the famous villain, Cruella De Ville, from the Disney movie 101 Dalmatians.
  • A jewelry store has an image with "H-B" at the front, a reference to the animation company, Hanna-Barbera.
  • The Ammonia Lisa is a parody of the Mona Lisa.

Errors

  • During the car chase between the gang and Dewey Ottoman to take the Soap Diamond, Dewey's hands change often from skin color to green, as if he was wearing his Phantom disguise gloves.
  • It is never explained how the Phantom disappeared in the cloud of smoke in front of Shaggy and Scooby after Fred threw the net down on him from his hotel window.
