The original Phantoms in the 1975 Japan Tour
The Phantoms are minor background characters from the musical "The Rocky Horror Show" and subsequent productions since 1973, from the 1975 movie, and the reimagining movie of 2016 (in the films they're known as "Transylvanians"). In the 1973 original script they're described as "the ones that sing the choruses; localized in different parts of the theater and between the audience". Until the show was rewritten in 1990, the Phantoms were Ushers that were portrayed by the same actors who'd play Riff-Raff, Columbia and Eddie/Dr. Scott and only appeared at the beginning of the show. Understudies would sing offstage "in the booth".
In recent musical productions, these characters are played by the understudies and are on stage, but still don't have any major impact to the plot. In the 1975 movie they came from the galaxy of Transylvania to a convention by Frank-N-Furter to present his new creation Rocky Horror.
