Ok you asked and i shall deliver my verdict.

Quite a simple vote for me.

Phantasm. The reason being that it was different to anything else at that time,revolutionary and groundbreaking in vision and style.

Phantasm 2. A worthy sequel with more emphasis on action and more in depth storyline but not as good as the first.

Phantasm 4
Phantasm 3. Both very similar but 4 just edges it because this time we go back in time to see the Tall Man before he became the man we all love now.

Phantasm & Phantasm II. The others not so much. Don Coscarelli is a great guy btw, very friendly, met him at Fangoria Radio awhile back. Would love to see him re-visit this franchise and re-introduce it to a new generation of horror fans. Most kids are unfamiliar with The Phantasm movies and think they would really enjoy it. Especially if Mike and Reggie are back on the road in the '71 Cuda!

Nice to see the love for the series here. I just wish we'd finally get a fifth already.

I'll be marathoning the series today, anyone else doing it this Halloween or plan to?

I watched part 1 yesterday ... must admit I spent a lot of the film wondering what on earth it was all about, but it was pretty good fun. I'll be watching the rest when I get around to it.

the sequels are definitely worth your while if you liked the first.

Phantasm 3
Phantasm
Phantasm 2
Phantasm 4

That would be my order. I grew up on the 3rd one. I didn't watch the others until later in life. So I'm biased but I love the cheese in it.

after all these years, Phantasm is still my favourite film.

I've med Don 3 times now - got to ride to the airport in a limo with him (and the Buseys!!) the second time we met .. he's a genuinely nice guy.


I also got to meet and shoot Angus Scrimm doing set photography in LA

He seems very nice and every interview and commentary track he does is usually very entertaining.

You shot the Tall Man.You are truly a doomed man.::stick out tongue::
