I'm super stoked about this month's installment of AITH'S KILLER GUIDE TO HORROR as our man Nick takes on the terrifying Jebediah Morningside, better known as The Tall Man from Don Coscarelli's PHANTASM series.
1979's PHANTASM remains one of my favorite films of all time, of any genre. It was the film that helped spark my life long love of horror films and I try to revisit it on a yearly basis. Coscarelli continued the story with 1988's PHANTASM 2, 1994's PHANTASM III: LORD OF THE DEAD, and 1998's PHANTASM IV: OBLIVION. And there isn't too many films that I'm more stoked about seeing than David Hartman's upcoming PHANTASM: RAVAGER (check out footage from that one HERE). Yes, it's safe to say that, like many of you, I am a 'Phan' of this series.
Now Nick takes a look at PHANTASM, breaking down what makes The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) so terrifying. Just watching this latest KILLER GUIDE TO HORROR makes me wanna break out my PHANTASM collection and start watching them again in anticipation of PHANTASM: RAVAGER.
