Bloody Disgusting has your first exclusive look at a clip from Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm: Remastered, available On Demand & Digital HD on October 4th and in theaters October 7th. While you won’t see the Tall Man in this clip (he comes immediately after it ends), we see one of his flying spheres drain blood out of someone’s head. If you haven’t seen this classic yet, this should convince you…
Those in Los Angeles can catch it early as it’s set to screen at Beyond Fest this Saturday, as well as the fifth film in the franchise, Phantasm: Ravager.
J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot supervised the new 4K remaster of the 1979 independent classic Phantasm, which stars Michael Baldwin, Reggie Bannister and the late Angus Scrimm as the Tall Man.
In the film, “The residents of a small town have begun dying under strange circumstances, leading young Mike (Michael Baldwin) to investigate. After discovering that the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm), the town’s mortician, is killing and reanimating the dead as misshapen zombies, Mike seeks help from his older brother, Jody (Bill Thornbury), and local ice cream man Reggie (Reggie Bannister). Working together, they try to lure out and kill the Tall Man, all the while avoiding his minions and a deadly silver sphere.”
