What happens

The Phantom of Hollywood is a 1974 American made-for-television horror thriller film and starring Skye Aubrey, Jack Cassidy, Jackie Coogan, Broderick Crawford, Peter Haskell John Ireland and Peter Lawford. It is notable for being one of the last films shot on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer back lot, which was being demolished at the time of filming. 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.
