    I once met Angus Scrimm sitting in the lobby of a hotel after the wrap of a Fangoria weekend. I had been disappointed because the actor we went there to see didn't show up. Then there is Angus Scrimm chilling in the hotel lobby across from me. He was so nice and we chatted for a little while. It was absolutely the best experience of the weekend. RIP Angus Scrimm

    @willmistretta 5 років тому +255

    The Phantasm main theme is so underrated. Right up there with Halloween's for me.
    Despite the sequels having their enjoyable moments, I really like how this one works as a standalone film due to the double twist at the end. The idea that Mike was just dreaming everything because he was distraught over his brother's death seems to explain the less logical elements of the preceding scenes and eases the audience's tension. Then BAM, that mirror scare! Brilliant.

    I have loved Phantasm since I saw it when it opened in 1979. I appreciate it's energy and imagination.

Mike's fear that his big brother will leave him behind added an extra element of drama to the film.

    So what’s weird about watching this is because Jody played by Bill Thornbury is a family friend of my family, and also my guitar teacher. I never knew this existed till I got more into films and music. So imagine my shock after years of knowing Bill since I was a baby, and seeing him pretty much almost every day of my life, and playing guitar with him, to realize he was apart of this Cult Classic horror movie! Honestly now I look back on when we played together and I imagine he would think back to the jam session in this movie.

    I love this movie mostly because, for a horror flick, it's surprisingly raw in its depiction of grieving via. Dreams.
    *Spoilers *
    After the end, I went back and saw a surprising amount of hints of the character's death: Mike never leaving him alone, having panic attacks every time he went somewhere, and even Jody's premonition of being pulled into the grave and causally see his name on one before being confronted by the tall man. It was almost like he knew in a vague way that he was dead and wanted to help his brother through his grieving (in his brother's nightmare) by aiding him one last time in confronting his fears of his own mortality.

      That ending still scares the shit out of me to this day, seriously The Tall Man is far more frightening than his Creepypasta rip-off and Angus Scrimm’s performance is just haunting and terrifying. He may not be Jason or Freddy, but even I think The Tall Man is up there as one of the greatest horror movie villains/monsters ever

      Samur/Aye because they’re pussies. Back in the days you were expected to get off the school bus, walk home by yourself, heat up your dinner in the microwave, and start on your homework by the time your parents got home. Now kids can’t even tie their shoes without being praised for it. We had no school shootings back in the day. That’s a relatively new phenomenon coinciding with sjw and everyone being special.

I would dare them to watch that movie or even Son of Godzilla and then watch King of the Monsters again and tell me and many other Godzilla fans which one was truly worse. One that has so much love and care for the Godzilla mythos or two of the WORST Godzilla movies ever made

Phantasm had a scary minor key soundtrack, a great jet black muscle car, and a bizarre science fiction angle which really worked well together. And of course a really creepy/scary protagonist.
