The teaser features a good look at the film's terrific cast including star Chase Williamson, Paul Giamatti, Doug Jones, Clancy Brown and even a brief look at Angus Scrimm's character. According to the official website, "The End Begins in 2012."

Phantasm Pinball!

How has no one thought of this before now, this ideal marriage of movie and game? I'm talking about Phantasm Pinball, what else?! Phantasm Community forum member KingBaggot stopped by earlier today to let us know he'd created just that - or an online flash version of it, anyway. Set to the first film's theme music, the ball is actually a silver sphere (and even sprouts the occasional drill!) and the table is booby-trapped with dwarves, tuning forks, a coffin, the Fortuneteller's black box, a spacegate and the Tall Man himself! Fear not - allies Reggie, Jody and the Fortuneteller are on your side.

You can check out an early concept sketch of the table by clicking the image to your left or you can proceed into gameplay by clicking here. KingBaggot's blog can be found here. My personal compliments to the King for creating such an awesome game. It's hot as love!

Cover Art: SATAN HATES YOU

The cover artwork for the upcoming October 18 DVD release of Satan Hates You has appeared online (source: Shock Till You Drop). The DVD art features Angus Scrimm and Reggie Bannister, both of whom have terrific parts in the film along with genre fixtures Michael Berryman, Debbie Rochon and Larry Fessenden.

I hope to have my review for this one posted soon here on the Archives. I don't mind telling you in advance that I thought it was deliciously evil fun! Click the cover to enlarge it.

(Note of trivia: This is the first time Angus and Reggie have both appeared in a film since Phantasm Oblivion!)
