Four of the Five ‘Phantasm’ Films Are Currently Streaming on Amazon Prime
Who better than Don Coscarelli himself to let us know that *most* of the Phantasm franchise is now streaming on Amazon Prime – every film except for Phantasm II, that is.
You can begin your journey through the franchise with Phantasm: Remastered, following it with Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead, Phantasm IV: Oblivion and Phantasm V: Ravager.
Don Coscarelli directed every film save for Ravager, directed by David Hartman.
Coscarelli’s Phantasm II, while it’s not currently streaming for free with an Amazon Prime membership, can be rented in HD for $3.99 or purchased in HD for just $4.99.
If you’d rather own the entire franchise in a physical format, you can grab the newly-released five-film Blu-ray set Phantasm: Sphere Collection through Best Buy for $99.

Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
