Shin Mefilas Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) The fifth and final installment in the Phantasm series is coming out this year. Some of the effects may not look to stellar but others look wonderful and as long as it stays to to the spirit of the series with wonderful characters and an interesting story I'll be happy. Really looking forward to this one. Edited January 2, 2016 by Prometheus Guyver Quote
Salkafar Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Quirky series with a hell of a leading man (and by that I mean Angus Scrimm). 1 Quote
LordSpleach Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Definitely an unappreciated horror series. 1 Quote
Shin Mefilas Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Quirky series with a hell of a leading man (and by that I mean Angus Scrimm). Yea cant deny how wonderful this guy is. Think about it, compare The Tall Man to other horror icons. He seem rather plan compared to the likes of Freddy or Jason but Angus's performance combined with the way they shot him makes him absolutely terrifying. The mortician suit helps too. Another thing I love about the Tall Man character is that we know so little about him despite being in four movies. Thats almost unheard of for a horror character, most tell you everything you need to know in the first movie then spend all the squeals adding stuff. But not in Phantasm, for every detail we get we end up asking more questions. Phantasm often reminds me of some of H.P. Lovecraft's stories. Edited January 4, 2016 by Prometheus Guyver Quote
LordSpleach Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Plus I love the fact that as you watch the series, you truly start to understand the scale of what the Tall Man is doing. 1 Quote
Salkafar Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Those long, stalking strides. Heheheh. Spoilers Also, they finally off him at the end of 2... so what happens at the start of 3? A new one simply appears, gets rid of the corpse of his predecessor and continues where he left off. That was absolutely brilliant and terrifying - kind of like when the Ginosaji breaks his spoon... and drops it... and for a moment it's like 'omg, maybe he's gonna stop'... and then he opens his coat and oh no, oh no, oh no... 1 Quote

Shin Mefilas Posted January 10, 2016 Author Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Sad news...the Tall Man is no longer with us http://www.ew.com/article/2016/01/10/angus-scrimm-obituary-phantasm Such a shame but at least he passed away peacefully Edited January 10, 2016 by Prometheus Guyver Quote
Salkafar Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 ...Maybe he will just come back...? No, he won't. He was 89. Rest in peace, big man. Quote
