The year is…well…sometime in the mid-eighties. Two young, maggot-colored horror geeks are huddled together, shoveling handfuls of stale, oily Cheetos into their mouths. A Nightmare on Elm Street posters, dolls, masks and cardboard cut-outs watch from all sides of the room as the two lean in closer to get a better look at the film they’re watching.

“Dude, are those midgets?”

“Yeah. Holy shit, look at those silver balls man!”

“They look mean.”

“…the balls?”

“No…the midgets.”

So…there you have it folks…Phantasm is the root of my obsession with little people. All of my cruel cracks…all of my twisted perversion…it’s all Don Coscarelli’s fault. DAMN YOU DON!! If I had known earlier in my life that such an incredibly original film would have affected me so deeply I never would have watched the film.

YEAH RIGHT!!!

Phantasm, in my opinion, is one of the most original horror films in the genre; a true classic in every sense of the word. Coscarelli must have been doing some harsh...[READ MORE HERE] (http://www.joehorror.com/0000748.html)

I just watched this for the first time. First off, I think the movie was awesome. The one liners are outstanding. A few questions come to mind after watching it. Is Phantasm considered a zombie flick? Do I need to watch the rest of the series to make sense of this nonsense?

"No warning shots, warning shots are bullshit" :lol:

One of my favs as well. I wish I could see Angus Scrimm (Tall Man) in more stuff..... but he's so iconic to the franchise that I can't see him doing any other rolls.

Phantasm was awsome. Years ago I even contacted the ATF to see if they would let me build a 4 barreled shotgun (later I was basically told to stuff myself) But its still an awsome movie.

Back in the early eighties there was an article in Guns 'n Ammo about a beautiful Italian 4 barrel twelve gauge shotgun. It was configured like 2 side by sides stacked on top of each other. It was an incredible gun and was about 30,000 bucks back then.
