| Phantasm | comment |
Phantasm is a series of horror films written and directed by Don Coscarelli (The Beastmaster, Bubba Ho Tep, John Dies at the End).An evil supernatural being known as the Tall Man travels from small town to small town, leaving devastation in his wake. Posing as an undertaker, he steals dead bodies and transforms them into dwarf-like zombie slaves, nicknamed 'lurkers'. Pursuing him are the only ones who might stop him: a troubled young man named Mike, an aging, balding ice cream vendor named Reggie, and the few allies they find along the way.To date, five films have been made, the most popular being the 1979 original, which remains a Cult Classic admired for its atmosphere and originality. With Phantasm II in 1988, the series shifted away from quiet, creepy horror, giving the heroes some cool weapons and upping the excitement. 1994's Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead is more of the same with added comedy, while 1998's Phantasm IV: Oblivion is a lot more subdued, and takes time to explore (if not explain) things hitherto unexplored in the series, such as the possible origins of the Tall Man.It is fair to say that the rules of cool and scary are the guiding principles of the series. Going for Surreal Horror and the feeling of a nightmare, the films are brimming with such memorable horrors as the ex-human lurkers, the brain-drilling flying spheres, and Angus Scrimm playing the magnificently frightening Tall Man himself.Sixteen years since the release of Oblivion, a fifth film in the series, Phantasm V: Ravager was completed and released. It is promoted as the series finale, and features Mr. Scrimm's last performance as the Tall Man.Indie game developer End Transmission Games released a free tabletop RPG set in the Phantasm universe in 2010. The game is meant to invoke grindhouse horror, and also allows groups to include elements from other horror movies like Hellraiser, and From Dusk Till Dawn. | |

Artistic License – Gun Safety | |
| Phantasm / int_10134c97 | comment |
Artistic License – Gun Safety: In spite of being established as savvy on gun safety, Jody shoots at the lurker on his back by holding his gun perpendicular to his arm and firing over his head with an extended arm, using his thumb to pull the trigger, all while wildly jostling the lurker. He could have just as easily shot himself in the head. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism: Jody believes Mike when he tells him about a magic flying drill and two jawas chasing him down a hallway, then sees the Tall Man's animated finger in a pool of yellow blood, but when Mike says that the Tall Man lifted a coffin all by himself, Jody exclaims, "You're crazy!" | |

Sanctuary of Solitude: There is a scene in the movie where Mike kind of chills in the funeral car, writing a letter, making up a plan and pondering over different stuff in the light of candles. The funeral car is not a church, sure, but still it has some spiritual and religious connotations as the burial process and everything connected with it are parts of a ritual. | |

The Tall Man merely glances backwards at the flaming building, then continues after the pair. | |

For Want Of A Nail: A particularly heartbreaking example. Mike meets Jebediah Morningside, the original owner of the Morningside Funeral Home, who the Tall Man is now using as a "skinsack". Morningside pleads with him to tell him about his experience with the Dimension Fork, but Mike is too terrified. If he'd just told him about what awaits him on the other side, he could have stopped the Tall Man from stealing his body, and from taking over the world . | |

| Phantasm / int_8f0c88f | comment |
Invincible Villain: The Tall Man who simply can't be stopped. Destroy him completely and another identical one will step out of the portal and finish where he left off. This is a common complaint of the series, as there is little point in hoping for the heroes to win. He has tens of thousands of copies of himself, all of which would need to be killed in order to defeat him, and considering how hard it is to kill just one, such a feat would be nigh impossible. It's possible that he would be killed if his true form in his home dimension could be reached and destroyed, but the place is infested with his minions and his powers are even greater there. | |

Gothic Horror | |
| Phantasm / int_9a158325 | comment |
Gothic Horror: This installment in the series is particularly abundant in this though some occasional gothic elements do spring up across the whole franchise. So, the movie features: a man lost in the Death Valley, chilling in a funeral car during the nighttime, writing a letter in the light of a candelabra. There is also a tophat sporting man called Jebediah who is an enigmatic unorthodox inventor, he lives almost all by himself in the middle of nowhere in a Victorian manor and performs outworldly experiments. He has an old fashion steampunk looking mechanism that could be easily placed in a Frankenstein movie and no one would tell the difference. Plenty of deserted and derelict scenery - a lone withered tree in the middle of a desert, a cemetery, a mortuary. So on and so forth. | |

Rule of Scary: The other thing the series is based entirely around. The fact that the movies make little logical sense and you're never quite sure what's happening only adds to the surreal horror. | |

Super-Strength | |
| Phantasm / int_a8c6a317 | comment |
Super-Strength: The Tall Man, who despite his frail (yet imposing) frame, has demonstrated strength of the Neck Lift, Barrier-Busting Blow, and Hoist Hero over Head varieties. As a matter of fact, one of the first clues that there was something odd about the Creepy Mortician skulking around the local cemetery was Mike witnessing him heave a loaded casket into the back of a hearse. With one arm. | |

RetCon | |
| Phantasm / int_b2279346 | comment |
Retcon: It's pretty damned hard to figure out which parts of the end of one film you're supposed to accept as canon when watching the next in the series. Characters who clearly died are suddenly alive again, others just drop off the face of the earth, etc. It doesn't help that all events in the series up to and including the first 10-15 minutes of the second film were All Just a Dream. It is uncertain how much - if any - of the first film actually happened, and beyond a few broad hints what the real events unfolded like. Then when the fourth film starts flashing back to footage from the original that wasn't actually included in the film...yep, the Phantasm series is a little screwy. Well, the real story also depends wholly upon which of the three alternate realities in Oblivion you believe to be the real one. We can be fairly certain that none of the reveals of the third film, including the spheres holding the brains of dead people, and Mike being from the Tall Man's world were things Coscarelli had in mind while starting the series. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands | |
| Phantasm / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: The Tall Man. Though, to be fair, the extent of his powers is never made clear. The "Sentinel Spheres" (silver spheres) seem to do this on occasion. It's unknown exactly if different spheres have different weapons and other equipment (such as the "eye stalk sphere"), or if they're all flying Swiss army knives of death. Most noticeably, the Jody Sphere is able to shift into Jody's form, while the other spheres have to be embedded in a body to pass as human. There's also Mike, where he first seemed to have a psychic link with Liz and the Tall Man in the second film before in the fourth film having Tall Man-like powers. | |

Impossibly Cool Weapon: The Tall Man's silver spheres. They're essentially flying Swiss Army knives of doom. Even more so with the gold spheres, which have "positron lasers", 3 blades that look like serrated can-opener blades, and dual circular saws. Reggie's quadruple-barreled shotgun counts as this. It consists of two double-barreled shotguns connected together via their mechanisms to create a four barreled masterpiece. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Phantasm / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: In the funeral home infiltration scene, Jody decides to carry his Colt 1911 with a round chambered but the hammer in the down position. When a lurker drops onto his back, he has to manually cock the hammer to start shooting at it, which is how a 1911 works in real life. Further work-showing in the scene with Mike giving Jody the shotgun: "Don't point a gun at a man unless you intend to shoot him. Don't shoot at a man unless you intend to kill him. And no warning shots. Warning shots are bullshit. You shoot to kill, or you don't shoot at all." All 100% in line with the Rules of Gun Safety. | |
