With the advent of digital cinema, the Alamo Drafthouse Dallas has announced what might be billed as the very last 35mm screening ever of the horror classic Phantasm presented by Mondo and Texas Frightmare Weekend.
On the night of Thursday April 30 on the eve of the Texas Frightmare Weekend horror con, the Richardson Texas Drafthouse theater will screen Phantasm with the original cast in attendance doing a “live commentary” about the film and its origins. Phantasm creator Don Coscarelli will also be there along with the director of the new Phantasm: Ravager, David Hartman, and they promise “a very special surprise” after the screening!
That weekend of May 1-3, cast members Angus Scrimm, Reggie Bannister, Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury, Kat Lester and Coscarelli and Hartman will attend the Texas Frightmare Convention being held at the Hyatt Regency DFW Hotel along with many other horror greats.
A limited amount of tickets to this event will be available right here.
Ravager, which will be the fifth and final entry in Coscarelli’s classic horror Phantasm series, features Reggie Bannister (a veteran of all five films) in his decades long pursuit of the malevolent Tall Man, and it finally forces him to confront the mysteries at the heart of the Phantasm saga. The entire original cast is back including Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury, Kathy Lester and Angus Scrimm, along with some great new characters.
