Any fans of this series? It's a very overlooked series by the mainstream despite some considerable cult appeal it has. The series is basically a Horror/Sci-Fi hybrid (with a significant Action element present in the second) concerning the sinister operations of an otherworldy mortician known only as The Tall Man, who employs a number of minions to help him with his bidding including robed dwarves and flying killer spheres. Sounds weird? It is, but it's so awesome and to reveal any more about the series is pretty much spoiling it. All four movies are excellent, I think 2 is the best but all are amazing and you owe it to yourself to see them if you never have.
The fifth movie (subtitled Ravager) is finally coming out after being in development Hell for more than a full decade. While it looks a bit rough from the footage released so far, I'm sure it'll look more polished and refined when it's out. A teaser has been out for months and some new footage was also recently released:
Very amped for the first new Phantasm movie in so long. Hope this'll be a good finale to the series and worth the 17-year wait since the fourth.

Wouldn't call myself a huge fan, but I like it. The Tall Man creeped me out when I was a kid.

When I was laid up with an injury, I blazed thru this series so incredibly quick. Reggie Bannister is a badass.

For fun I'll rank them:
Phantasm II Phantasm Phantasm IV: Oblivion Phantasm III: Lord Of The Dead
I love them all. 3 is my least favorite because I thought it overdid the comedy but I still enjoy it. It's a rare series within the Horror genre where every entry is damn good.

This is awesome news! I hope Angus Scrimm is still able to act well He must be pushing 90 now. He scared the crap out of me as a kid.
