Came here to pay respects to Angus Scrimm. Rest in peace Tall Man, may you forever be remembered as one of the best villains in horror film history, among your various other roles.
@bee boo No Candyman himself didn't have a theme. Helen did have a theme though and i guess you could consider that the theme song of the movie. And there were 3 Candyman movies.
@bee boo If by piano music in the end you mean the music that plays when Trevor is in the bathroom just before Helen comes for him, then yes that's the one. And there was going to be another Candyman movie releasing in june this year but due to the virus it was delayed to 2021.
For everyone born 1970 onwards I salute you.I remember watching this at 13 years old and being comforted by a movie that understood my trauma.😊Here I am 53 and still that teenager.Anyone who is a fan of this movie is cool in my eyes.
First time i heard this theme was Entombed song "Left Hand Path", back then i didn't have a clue it's from this movie, but i always had this feeling it would perfectly fit to some kind of classical horror movie ... many years later while watching Phantasm i instantly got goosebumps when this theme kicked in :)
@@ig-8892 Wait a minute. I thought Reggie Bannister composed the music. Or were they the ones who wrote the music and Reggie played it? Correct me if I'm wrong lol
The music has a Italian giallo feel. It’s feel like the US version of the goblins. This is not a orchestra but a rock band who decided to play for a movie.
A big shout out to JJ Abrams and the people at Bad Robot for doing a 4K restoration of the film. After settling for my MGM DVD over the last 15 or so years I can't wait to absorb an all time favorite in HD quality. A fitting tribute to Angus Scrimm's legacy
Along with Maniac Cop and Pumpkinhead, this is easily the most underrated horror movie of all time. The fact that the Tall Man is not as iconic as Freddy Krueger or Jason Vorhees baffles me. And it annoys me that it is clear Slenderman was based off of the Tall Man, and became iconic, but didn't care to credit the film
@@jdottwoogdk7791 I'd agree that Myers, Leatherface and Jason are fairly overrated... but Ash? To be honest with you, I don't really see him get talked about much
The Phantasm movie/series was indexed in Germany until 2017, why??? But splatter and gore like Saw and similiar crap are on prime time TV 🤷♀Altho I can remember I saw rented versions in the early 90's or so. I wonder when they actually put it on index. at least they stopped the sequels at some point. Unlike Halloween, they keep getting worse and the remakes were totally boring. But I fall for it every time and give it a try. I'm always disappointed afterwards. The last one that was reasonably entertaining was Resurrection 2002 imo. But the only ones I really liked were the Original and H20. Maniac Cop I have seen back then too, but I don't remember anymore. Hellraiser I remember a bit 🤔Watched too many horror movies back in those days. The original Suspiria is interesting too. I don't know the remake.
@@thebasedgodmax1163 The dead black suit? The extremely pale face? The ability to randomly appear behind you? Plus, in Phantasm IV, there's a bit in the hearse where literally Slenderman appears It was actually confirmed that they inspired the look of Slenderman off the tall man
Back in the older days, they knew how to make horror, and music is a huge factor in my opinion for the tone of the whole atmosphere of a scary movie. Today horror movies get some corporate commercial rock band to play the theme music, and it completely takes away from any kind of sense of foreboding on weather to go through with watching the movie, because you're not sure if you will be able to handle it, or take a chance and be haunted for years to come! Actually, one of the main things I remember from any horror films that really would make a movie stand out, was the music, and sound affects!
Agreed. I remember watching the original Amityville Horrors one and two as a kid. It use to freak the life out of me both the theme music and sound effects. I've never been the same since lol
horror fan Yes, I will agree those are the better ones of these days, but in general the horror movies I grew up with, and what is out now, just to me don't have the really creepy factor, as those I seen as a kid.
+Mojosfire : Check out the album The 'Spider's Lullabye' from King Diamond. Great chilly tunes with awesome intros, and I absolutely agree. They did know how to make some spine chilling music back in the day.
***** I never managed to truly understand Phantasm, sometimes I wonder if there's anything to understand at all. Yet my bones keep telling me it's a great movie. So I have these mixed feelings towards it...
Roger Gurman I totally get what your saying, i technically see phantasm as a bad movie and yet something tells me this is a masterpiece and I find myself wanting to watch the movie constantly, and I pretty much never want to watch any of the sequels except maybe Oblivion, I have the unpopular opinion its the best sequel
I can pretty comfortably say that Phantasm is in my top 3 favorite horror movies of all time, possibly even #1. When I first saw the movie I completely despised of it and thought it was nothing but stupid the whole way through, but there was one thing I couldn't deny I loved, and that was the theme. I found myself listening to the theme through this video constantly which caused me to think about the MOVIE constantly. As I thought about the movie more and more I became obsessed with the film and was trying to figure out what everything in the movie meant and as I developed these ideas I started to love the movie more and more. Today, I do think the film is a masterpiece and one of the most notoriously misunderstood films in cinematic history and I essentially owe my love of the film to the theme song, it IS the greatest horror movie soundtrack of all time to me, Halloween? Pfff, nothing compared to Phantasm. I am so grateful for this film, I truly am.
I own numerous copies of all the phantasm movies and i watch them all the time and the commentary and extras the phantasm movies are one of those i cant imagine my life without them i it. I was born in 1977 so phantasm and dawn of the dead came out in 1978 been watching them my whole life.
2:23 One of my favorite movies. Was 13 when it came out and still love the movie. The theme melody is ageless. The scenes in the movie were perfect for the soundtrack .
I was at the right age growing up in the 80's. I remember going to the movies to see this and I loved it. The music by Tangerine Dream adding that magic they first created in "Legend". The flying sphere of death, the Tall man and the Dwarfs creeped me out. A cult classic. Boy!!!
The best version of this incredible song. Still gives me chills every time I hear it, and every time I watch that classic first movie. Absolutely chilling and dark.
Boooooy I remember popping this movie in for the first time. This was like last year too, the main menu came on and I was hooked by the art and music alone... After watching it became my favorite movie (franchise). I didn't have a fav movie for a long time. I just loved it.
I first saw this movie years ago on Amazon Prime, and didn’t remember anything that happened in it afterwards. I just rewatched it on Shudder, and while I can honestly as that it didn’t jog my memory, it was certainly more memorable this time around.
The best parts of Phantasm were the silly parts. What made it good was that the silly didn't overshadow the horror. That "finger-turning-into-space-bug" scene was funny as hell.
This movie really madea huge impact on me and my little brother when we first watch it with our uncle. I've been writing for about 10 years and me and my brother are working on a remake to keep the spirit and essence and also introduce a new generation to The Tall Man.
seriously, the best horror movie theme of all time. the fog theme comes close second for me. just bought the phantasm movie poster to frame on my wall and i couldn't be happier.
Funny thing is i wasnt alive when this movie was released. Im 32 but still old enough to respect a classic horror film like phantasm! Thx to my dad showing me this lol
It was on the TV, The Original, with this theme tune ( which I've known since childhood) twice, when I lost two people in my life. It is a phonetic bridge to the Afterlife for me.
Michael Aguilar Ive had dreams like that. So terrible that Im telling myself, “Wake up! Wake up! Youre dreaming!” Only for something to appear and remind me that I’m not (even though I still am.) Kinda dreams where you wake up at 330 AM and dont want to go back to sleep
It's like that scene in Evil Dead II where Ash is gripping the sink and looking in the mirror, telling himself, "Everything's alright. It's gonna be ok." Then his reflection comes out of the mirror, grabs him and shouts, "No! It's Not!"
man I know the composer has to be raking in alot of money cause this song is still be sampled to this day. Can't tell you how many versions I have heard of it. It just has that eerie horror feel to it. Perfect song for setting a dark atmosphere
I’ll never forget ever the first time watching this movie not knowing what to think and then BOOM the music hits I instantly fell in love with it!! A classic and underrated horror movie one of the best!!
When you compare "horror" movies of today with a gem like Phantasm, you can't help but react the same as Mike did viewing The Tall Man through binoculars ""What the fuck?"
In 96 I was terrified into this movie. Was a late night staying with my Grandma I was 6... Alone in a Giant house. Oldschool like 2foot thick big screen tv. Grandma threw on Never Ending story. Well, didn't pay attention and this masterpiece came on while she was up stairs closing up for the night... I was so freaked out I couldn't look away. I went to bed and said nothing. Terrified I didn't sleep. Forever a part of my life I'll never forget . I revisited all this as of this week. I'm 30 now. :) Can't wait to re-watch it for the first time since.
Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave did something nobody else could with this score...they did an imitation of "THE EXORCIST'S" theme, which was very popular, but instead of downright copying it, they wrote something new, original, chilling and completely unforgettable. I wore this track out when I owned it on vinyl back in the day.
Coscarelli is a God! I watched a few Friday the 13ths and some of the Phantasms and saw how much more imagination went into these phantastic films in comparison.
I had an old friend who just lived and breathed this movie and song. He even bought a hearse. I had to give him a side-eye but still loved him. This brings back so many memories.
One of my all time fave Horror films.Story was so different,without being over the top with splat 'n' gore,unlike a lot of Italian/Spanish nasties of the era.The theme tune is fantastic.It should be on more top ten lists of Horror films.
+Mano Saarinen It's funny that when I was listening to the track for the first time, I desperately tried to remember where have I heard the music that was suspiciously similar. Many years later while rewatching Phantasm I thought: "Wait a minute..." and rushed to my player.
Saw this movie for the first time recently and was struck by how much better the music was than the film itself. Really beautiful work here by composer Gareth Williams.
Usually when making a low budget horror movie - the score was always the first thing to go. But this theme is so uncharacteristically intricate for it's time! The fact that they didn't have to change anything for the sequels is all the proof you need at how much this theme holds up
Still an underrated 70s horror film for its innovativeness alone. Was great enough to spawn some sequels, none of which outdid the 1st one. " I've been waiting for ya...BBOYYYY!!!!! " Also love Augus Grimm's cameo in Transylvania Twist parody.
It baffles me how many people still haven't heard of Phantasm movies. The first one is a masterpiece.
Hell imo the second one was even better. They really turned Reggie into a badass horror icon
Big Chungus Quadruple Barrel Shotgun,
Flamethrower, and the 3 to 4 foot long chainsaw.
The tall man
I can't believe I have not heard of these films!
My father took me to see it in 79 and I was 8 yrs old. What a cool dad, even though the music still haunts me to this day.😁
This soundtrack is still gold what an underrated movie.
...as well as rap music.
@@edmcguire6133 lots of good samples made from this song
Rap is total crap.
Nothing good from rap. Total crap.
@@Grizzlied555 lmao go listen to a guitar or some shit country boy
RIP Angus Scrimm. You will always be remembered as a legend of horror films.
He is awesome, no one like him again❤️
AND THAT HE WAS. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN IN MY EYES. ONE OF Z BESTS R.I.P. CUZZ
*Booooooooooooy*
That is correct, boooooy!

Thank you Entombed for making me discover this, and thank you Death Metal for getting me into those obscure horror movies I avoided so much as a child
Left hand Path - Entombed :)
it’s not that obscure 🙄
What’s the connection between this and Entombed??
@@kevinkershaw1209 Inspired a portion of the song Left Hand Path. Towards the middle of the song.
ONE OF THE GREATEST THEMES OF ALL TIME
@Alan Pedley THE ORIGINAL HALLOWEEN IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE AND SO IS THE SCORE
@Alan Pedley Phantasm has better score in my opinion
@@psychicator8954 same here. I totally agree. That halloween theme is played the fuck out & I'm sure everyone can agree
@@johnmoyarbmg5845 no one agreed on u
Bone thugs definitely agreed...that's where thuggish ruggish bone came from.
Came here to pay respects to Angus Scrimm. Rest in peace Tall Man, may you forever be remembered as one of the best villains in horror film history, among your various other roles.
Most underrated horror movie ever. The music in this movie is phenomenal and plays a huge role in movies.
A case where music and movie and story match perfectly.
Kerry Helm I completely agree!👍❤
@bee boo Right but I think Unsolved Mysteries was scary as hell for a TV show theme also!!
@bee boo I think that Candyman had a really nice combo of music and story too.
@bee boo No Candyman himself didn't have a theme. Helen did have a theme though and i guess you could consider that the theme song of the movie. And there were 3 Candyman movies.

I love how the Phantasm movies just screw with your mind. That is what makes Phantasm such a great movie
This has such an eerie theme that fits the era of 70s horror as a whole
B O Y !! Hunts me still ,..I’m 68 years old! Yepp,..it left an impression when I was a young pup

One of the best horror movies. An underrated classic... Misunderstood too. The movie feels like a dream. A long nightmare.

Goddamn it, will actors and celebrities that I love please stop dying in the first month of 2016?!?!?!
Your point?

That was such a great album, too. They never topped it.
First time listening to this song. It's so beautiful. Just so beautiful and dark. The composer is an absolute genius.
Yeah, it almost puts me into a trance.
eerie, suspenseful. easy to listen to.
Composers. Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave.
@@ig-8892 Wait a minute. I thought Reggie Bannister composed the music. Or were they the ones who wrote the music and Reggie played it? Correct me if I'm wrong lol
If you like the song, I have a movie for you to watch
This is truly the best horror theme. Gives me shivers.
Unsolved mysteries show. Peep that.
christine is pretty good too
Master P- Pass me the green
The music has a Italian giallo feel. It’s feel like the US version of the goblins. This is not a orchestra but a rock band who decided to play for a movie.
Indeed. It also takes a lot of influence from British musician Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, which was the theme of The Exorcist
I agree, to me it has a more Fabio frizzi feel than goblin.
A big shout out to JJ Abrams and the people at Bad Robot for doing a 4K restoration of the film. After settling for my MGM DVD over the last 15 or so years I can't wait to absorb an all time favorite in HD quality. A fitting tribute to Angus Scrimm's legacy
Goblin + John Carpenter = 'Phantasm'
Suspiria and Halloween, damn near perfect themes, put them together, you get the PERFECT theme that is Phantasm
Gives me strong Tubular Bells vibes more than anything
do you agree that this is another great horror movie soundtrack?
Certainly, especially one NOT done by John Carpenter and Alan Howarath.
R.I.P. Angus Scrimm
You played a good game, sir!

As much as I love Halloween , Phantasm was the best 70s horror film. Period. Even the theme is better. So scary. Damn.
***** I never managed to truly understand Phantasm, sometimes I wonder if there's anything to understand at all. Yet my bones keep telling me it's a great movie. So I have these mixed feelings towards it...
halloween and phantasm are two of the greatest 70s horror movies
Suspiria still reigns supreme as far as I'm concerned.
All 3 are absolute classics though.

Happy birthday, Angus Scrimm. You are missed. Glad you got around to playing the Tall Man one last time, though.
Ian Bruesch happy birthday Mr. scrimm!😥💗
WHO'S PLAYING THIS BEAT ?
2:23 One of my favorite movies. Was 13 when it came out and still love the movie. The theme melody is ageless. The scenes in the movie were perfect for the soundtrack .
I love the tagline: "If this one doesn't scare you... You're Already Dead!"
How about Maniac Cop's "you have the right to remain silent... forever!"
Both Phantasm and Manic Cop are great taglines. Also the movie House has a simple but good one" Ding-Dong. You're dead".
Same for Last house on the Left. "To avoid fainting keep telling yourself it's only a movie.........."
I like The Dentist. "Brace Yourself".
Imagine waiting in your dentist's chair listening to this song.
Daryl Huggins right! lol
I don't understand why some people think the dentist is scary.
And this tall dentist walks in and says "Boooooy"
*Drilling sound*
Waiting for Mr. Giggles? Lol
This movie gave me chills in the early 80s. It was shown on the local station on the Saturday Night Shocker. I loved the soundtrack.
My dad showed me this movie when I was 5 or 6. Awesome and it will always be my favorite horror movie.
I was at the right age growing up in the 80's. I remember going to the movies to see this and I loved it. The music by Tangerine Dream adding that magic they first created in "Legend". The flying sphere of death, the Tall man and the Dwarfs creeped me out. A cult classic. Boy!!!
Most underrated and overlooked franchise in horror
Very true but it has one hell of a following😀
My Favorite Song.
The best version of this incredible song. Still gives me chills every time I hear it, and every time I watch that classic first movie. Absolutely chilling and dark.
Boooooy I remember popping this movie in for the first time. This was like last year too, the main menu came on and I was hooked by the art and music alone... After watching it became my favorite movie (franchise). I didn't have a fav movie for a long time. I just loved it.
An old man terrorizes a kid with his balls...
Yeah that pretty much summarizes the plot. LOL.
I was 8 yrs. old when this came out and i loved it! This over Star Wars anytime.

It was on the TV, The Original, with this theme tune ( which I've known since childhood) twice, when I lost two people in my life. It is a phonetic bridge to the Afterlife for me.

I wore this track out when I owned it on vinyl back in the day.
Great horror flick its ahead of its time
Coscarelli is a God! I watched a few Friday the 13ths and some of the Phantasms and saw how much more imagination went into these phantastic films in comparison.
Same as the Entombed intro... RIP LG, never forgotten.. 🤘
Truly, one of the best horror movie franchises ever.
Such a great movie. RIP Angus "The Tall Man" Scrimm
Seen this original movie when I was 8. Only movie that creeped me the fuck out till this day. 41 now. ONLY movie that scared me. Best movie
I had an old friend who just lived and breathed this movie and song. He even bought a hearse. I had to give him a side-eye but still loved him. This brings back so many memories.
Underrated and unappreciated horror classic. Angus Scrimm the star of the film series.
Underrated ? Master p used this for. - pass me da green
this is a horror movie theme that should stay untouched
Scares the crap out of STILL !!! I’m 68 yrs old ,.....I played this to restart my ❤️
One of my all time fave Horror films.Story was so different,without being over the top with splat 'n' gore,unlike a lot of Italian/Spanish nasties of the era.The theme tune is fantastic.It should be on more top ten lists of Horror films.
Entombed's Left Hand Path brought me here! Anyway, i need to see this film because i can't remember having seen it.
Good Bad Flicks brought me here
+Mano Saarinen It's funny that when I was listening to the track for the first time, I desperately tried to remember where have I heard the music that was suspiciously similar. Many years later while rewatching Phantasm I thought: "Wait a minute..." and rushed to my player.
+Mano Saarinen Entombed !!!!!!
One of my favorite horror movie themes! So ethereal, graceful, and haunting! ^^
This is still the greatest modern horror movie, no matter how much I love Slaughter High.
Behold to the strongest horror movie character of all times
I feel so proud of my self. I just learned this song by ear on my piano while listening to this with my headphones.
He has a steel ball RUN NO , REALLY RUN AWAY ITS WRONG STEEL BALLS JOHNNY THEY ARE FLYING TOWARD US!! AAAAH - last words of Gyro Zeppeli ...
Saw this movie for the first time recently and was struck by how much better the music was than the film itself. Really beautiful work here by composer Gareth Williams.
Death Metal and Horror movies are a perfect combination....
This theme in Left hand Path from Entombed is from another world!
I use to love this song as a child and I still do today.
Omg! I use to loved this song growing up. It's still great all these years later.
It drawn a Comparison to Another classic but the theme music really had me thinking about my Childhood . Long Live the Tall Man may you Reign In Peace
Usually when making a low budget horror movie - the score was always the first thing to go. But this theme is so uncharacteristically intricate for it's time! The fact that they didn't have to change anything for the sequels is all the proof you need at how much this theme holds up
R.I.P Angus Scrimm!!!
The fierce gaze!!! Pullin up in a f****** hearse, the music score and all that "Authentic Horror!"
One of the best theme music ever done.....great combination of these two together. Beat is right on point!!
Still an underrated 70s horror film for its innovativeness alone. Was great enough to spawn some sequels, none of which outdid the 1st one. " I've been waiting for ya...BBOYYYY!!!!! " Also love Augus Grimm's cameo in Transylvania Twist parody.
A great series of movies!! These are classics and if you haven't watched them you are not enjoying life.
BOOOYYYY!!!!!!
YOU PLAY A GOOD GAMEBOY
phillytheflyerable Hey that's funny.
Bane Its never over BOY!
Olya Summer Can you imagine how much different the movie would've been had the main protagonist been a girl?!
Hahahha Roger, you re right! Even in italian, at the place of ragazzo, the italian sostitute for boy, they left the original
