Upcoming ‘Phantasm’ Blu-ray Set Will Have Incredible Angus Scrimm Tribute Packaging

Published

on

The Phantasm films have been collected together in a few different sets over the years, the coolest of which was a UK set that housed the films inside a replica of the Tall Man’s deadly silver sphere. More recently, Arrow put out a Blu-ray set including the newest film, Ravager, with Well Go offering up a similar set here in the States.

The next Phantasm Blu-ray set will arrive in France, reports the blog Phantasm Archives, and it will feature limited edition packaging that rivals even the sought-after sphere!

ESC Distribution hasn’t set a date for the set, but they’ve shared painted prototype images that show off the next-level packaging. The set features a bust of the late Angus Scrimm as the terrifying Tall Man, with the discs housed in a box underneath the bust.

“ESC Distribution has teased that their set will pack a ton of bonus features as well as a new 200-page book written by Marc Toulec. ESC is also reporting that this incredible release will be limited to 300 certified and numbered copies.”

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones.
