The film aired on CBS Television, and was originally titled The Phantom of Lot 2. A riff on Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera, it was produced and directed by Gene Levitt.[1]
Plot
Murders taking place on the back lot of Worldwide Studios turn out to be the work of a disfigured actor who has been living there for years and will stop at nothing to cease the sale of the back lot to developers. The film seems to place a lot of emphasis on the chalk outline and one character is even heard to quip, "We're going to be running out of chalk," while standing over a murder scene in a dry pool on the set.
