The Official ‘Phantasm’ Sphere Ornament Drills Into the Holiday Season

Published

Celebrate Christmas with the Tall Man!

The Phantasm franchise was brought back to life this year in a big way thanks to the release of not just the JJ Abrams-supervised restoration of Don Coscarelli’s original 1979 classic but also brand new fifth installment Phantasm: Ravager – both of which are available on DVD and Blu-ray as of this week. And the Phantasm fun continues with an official holiday offering.

A partnership between Mondo, Middle of Beyond, and Don Coscarelli himself, the Phantasm Sentinel Sphere Ornament brings the Tall Man’s iconic weapon of choice to your Christmas tree, and the awesome piece just went up for pre-order through the Mondo website.

Explains Mondo:

Introduced in the 1979 horror classic PHANTASM, the Sentinel Sphere is the signature weapon of supernatural undertaker, The Tall Man. The flying silver orb is used to drill into the brain of his victims and drain their head-nog.

Unfortunately, the ornament won’t be shipping out until this coming January, so there’s no way you’ll have this bad boy in time for this year’s holiday season. But that’s okay, because you must remember that Christmas comes around every year. And think of how excited you’ll be when you get to bust out the Sentinel Sphere next December and make it the centerpiece of your tree!

Grab your Phantasm ornament for just $15.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
