## Story

The movie begins with a crime scene where the CEO of an opera is murdered along with a couple of employees who work in an opera house in France is being investigated by the local police. One witness says that it was a ghost long dead that killed those people.  The head officer tells his unit to investigate the opera house, then the title card appears: "PHANTOM OF THE OPERA". We cut to a few weeks later in England where investigator Christine DuBois is looking into a case of dead A-Sync employees (a reference to the 1st Dracula post credit scene) until she gets a call about the murders in the opera house. She decides to leave her apartment in England to go to the opera house to see what she is dealing with here. She arrives and is given the same story one of the witnesses told the police. She gets a police unit to help her while she enters the opera house to investigate. She explores the opera house and finds the bodies of recently killed victims not found by the police, including 15 opera singers crushed by a chandelier in the main stage. She questions who could have done this. She walks further around the opera house. She hears a few police scream, until silence. She runs back and see 6 policemen dead. A male voice tells Christine that they deserved it for taking everything from them. Christine asks who this person is, and he simply says that he is a fan of her work at the opera house. It's revealed that she did have a history with this opera house, but she left after being rejected by the toxic opera house owners. The voice says that they also rejected him, and took his music as well. Christine puts two in two as she remembers that she read an article about a guy who murdered the head of the opera house and is on the run. She says his name "Erique Claudin". The figure comes out to reveal that it is Erique, with a masquerade mask covering a part of his face with a fedora and black clothing. She asks why he did what he did. Erique simply says that he took what was his, and he deserved to die. Christine attempts to call in reinforcements but Erique attacks her, then runs away into the shadows. She decides to return to her rental where she is staying at and decides to look at the original blueprints of the opera house to see if there some hiding spot, and she does spot a catacombs under the opera house. She decides to go into the catacombs the next night and finds that Erique has a large piano and a cell containing a person. She decides to go toward the cell until Erique attacks her and they engage in a fight. Above, the cops enter the opera house and look for the secret entrance Christine told them about. Meanwhile, Christine finds a sword, and so does Erique. They engage in fencing. The cops find the entrance to the catacombs and enter. Christine manages to find a weak spot and manages to throw his sword away. She punches Erique and manages to knock his hat and mask off. She then sees Erique's part of his face that he has hidden. He reveals that acid was spalshed on his face when he killed the owner, but he does not regret it. The cops enter and shoot down Erique Caludin. The cops leave, but Christine stays, with the last frame of Erique showing only his mask (much like the 1943 film during the ending). Christine finds a key and opens the cell. She sees that a man named Quincy Harker was held here because he too was looking into the "Phantom of The Opera" myth. Christine sees a book in his hand and asks what that is. Quincy reveals that it holds secrets to the most powerful evils that roam the Earth, including vampires, werewolves, and mythical sea creatures. Christine then asks who he works for, and Qunicy says he does not work for A-Sync or Prodigium. It is revealed that A-Sync seeks to make weapons out of monsters while Prodigium seeks to eventually wipe out monsters from the face of the Earth. Christine remembers hearing of news of Frankenstein's Monster, The Wolf Man, and The Invisible Man. Christine asks how are they going to find the monsters. Qunicy simply says, "We won't find them, they will find us." They leave the opera house and return to the police. The sheriff asks why Quincy was down there, indicating that Quincy is an Interpol officer. Quincy wants to talk about this "Phantom of the Opera" film on the news. Two weeks later, he debunks the Phantom myth, BUT ALSO exposes the existence of monsters. He reads names including: "Dracula, Renfield, Wilfred Glendon, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein's Monster, Jeff The Killer, The Invisible Man, Jane The Killer, and Imhotep. Back at Prodigium, Henry Jekyll sees this news and is a bit frustrated. Somewhere in England, Pretorius talks to Dracula, revealing this news. Pretorius expects enragement, but Dracula just smiles. Dracula reveals that he kind of wanted this to happen, as he wanted humanity to fear monsters. He sees it as an easier way to round them up into his army. The movie ends with Dracula smiling, and Dr Pretorius says, "To a new world of Gods and Monsters". Then it cuts to black. The credits roll with the original Phantom of the Opera play music playing in the background, then it fades to black.
