Phantasm Exhumed EXCERPTS


Not that anyone would believe it in light of the Phantasm: Ravager news, but it had been my intention all day long to post the first excerpts from my upcoming book, PHANTASM EXHUMED, here on the Archives. I even teased that they were coming a week ago on Phantasm Community! But no matter. Here they are!

Below you will find two-page excerpts from the four chapters on the first four Phantasm films. The final page count equals out to 258 pages with more than 260 rare photographs! The pages breakdown to equal 20 pages for Jim the World's Greatest and Kenny & Company, 60 pages for Phantasm, 60 pages for Phantasm II, 50 pages for Phantasm III, 44 pages for Phantasm: Oblivion and 13 pages for the various Phantasm V sequels - including a page on Phantasm: Ravager!!!

UPDATED - Phantasm: Ravager

Phantasm V is real and is happening!!! Ain't It Cool has debuted the teaser poster to your right.

And for the record... the Phantasm Archives broke news and gave the first picture from this project back in 2009! No one has much been listening, though. Now that it's official... have a look back at the original scoop.

Details are scant on the project right now, so here is just a tiny bit more than what all the other websites are reporting:

  • To reiterate, this project has been filming little by little since 2008.
  • The original working title for several years was "Reggie's Tales."
  • The original cast members put in appearances along with some Don Coscarelli regulars.
  • It was partly filmed in Crestline, CA at Reggie Bannister's own home!
  • Many of the familiar series elements are back... the 'Cuda and the sphere especially. Oh, yes... there will be blood!


UPDATE: It looks like one cast member has stepped forward! If this doesn't get you excited..... (anybody notice that this means the Lady in Lavender has been in all of the odd-numbered Phantasm movies?)
