Blurb
When Brooke gets the lead in a school play about a Phantom, she is thrilled . . . until the nightmares begin. At school there is talk of a real Phantom who has haunted the auditorium for years. Brooke tries to laugh it off. But when haunting messages appear on set, a trap door is discovered on stage, and a piece of scenery comes crashing down, it's no joke. Is Zeke, her best friend, up to his foolish pranks again? Or is Brooke's jealous understudy, Tina, up to no good? Maybe the answer lies beneath the stage, through the trap door, and at the end of the tunnel.
Differences from the book
- In the book, the secretary tells them there's no night janitor. In the episode, it's the janitor who does so.
- In the book, Emile admits to sabotaging the rehersals, but has no idea about the story of the phantom. In the episode, Emile dresses as the phantom during sabotage attempts and seems to know about the story of the phantom.
- In the book, the note in Brooke's locker reads "STAY AWAY FROM MY HOME SWEET HOME". In the episode, the note reads "STAY AWAY FROM MY HOME SWEET HOME ESMERALDA!"

- The DVD release of the episode has the credits music continuously playing, even after the credits have ended.
