I like Phantasm in spite of a lot of silliness. The plot makes almost no sense, the horror is completely hit or miss and anarchy reigns over the entire third act. Even if you get it, you're still asking "what the hell was that? An evil mortician enslaves an army of space midgets and a stoner ice cream man is the earth's last hope?" It's wacky, it's completely over-the-top, but it's fun, it's often scary and Angus Scrimm is spectacular. You need to forgive this movie its trespasses and exalt in its carnival virtues to like it.
