I always found the scene in the original Phantasm where the guy is killed by the flying sphere, quite nasty.Especially when you see his bladder emptying after he's collapsed.

The Phantasm films are all great weird horrors, I think.
<pedantic>
Often called a 'franchise', but it's actually a series because genre auteur Coscarelli wrote and directed them all (a movie 'franchise' - e.g. the Elm Street saga - has more than one director).
</pedantic>

Here's a fine overview of the four movies at Phantasm - movies with balls, and an interview with actor Reggie Banister - Ice Cream, You Scream which might be of interest to fans.

Now, why isn't there a flying sphere 'smiley' to go here?

I love the first two Phantasm's the most out of the 4. The first one gets the top vote from me just because of that scene where the Tall Man walks past Reggies ice-cream truck. Freaky stuff!

I loved the echoey music that was played throughout (notably the beginning). It constantly reminds you somethings not right in the town.

Hopefully Anchor Bay will be thinking of some Phantasm Hi Def......

Anyone heard any snippets?

Yeah,you're right.
Morningside funeral home is one of the most foreboding locations ever-even on a sunny day!

Default Rank The Phantasm Series

There seem to be a fair number of fans here of this series, my absolute favorite Horror series. Seen all the films countless times. How would you rank them all in your order of preference? For me:


Phantasm II
Phantasm
Phantasm IV: Oblivion
Phantasm III: Lord Of The Dead


Adore them all though and wish a fifth would get made while Angus Scrimm is still alive.
