"Das Böse" included in New Phantasm Box Set

Region B phans, rejoice! There's a new Phantasm Blu-ray Collection set to arrive in Germany and it's packing a unique bonus supplement! You can glimpse the new set's packaging on your right, which depicts glorious new artwork from artist Graham Humphreys. While boasting many of the same old special features we've seen time and time again, the six-disc set will also include an exclusive bonus disc containing a Super-8 transfer of the half-hour long "Das Böse."

What is "Das Böse?" Well, that's the title Phantasm went by when first released in Deutschland. The film was later released in a condensed thirty-minute version on Super 8 for German film fans to enjoy in their home.

In all seriousness, who wouldn't want to watch a scratchy half-hour German dubbed version of Phantasm? That sounds like nostalgic-goodness. Grab a Dos Equis and press play!

LISTEN UP - Phantasm Ravager Score Hits the Net!

Now this is marvelous news. Phans have been begging for several years now (Okay, it's only been me. I've been begging) for Don Coscarelli to release the full score for Phantasm Ravager. While Don seems no closer to doing that, we are extremely fortunate that composer Chris Stone has uploaded the full unreleased score to his official website!

You can listen to all ten tracks here. It's around fifty-five minutes in total. And yes, the final track ends with the kick-ass "Reggie Rap" from the film's end credits. Ravager may have divided phans with its bold story choices, but you must concede that it had a stellar soundtrack.

New Phantasm Pin Honors the Fortuneteller

Phans may recall a groovy Fortuneteller pin we posted about on this very blog three years back. That pin is now officially sold out, but fret not - there's a new collector's pin honoring the classic Phantasm character. The latest release from The Sally Hardesty Collection depicts the memorable sign outside the Fortuneteller's home of a hand on a tarot card.

Reasonably priced at $10 each, this 1.25" pin and its variant are limited to a scant 25 copies each. While you're pin shopping, I'd encourage you check out the Sally Hardesty Collection's other horror pins - they're fantastic!

Impressive Etch-a-Sketch Art of the Tall Man!

From the Instagram page of Mike James aka PirateKiller1985, dig this terrific new artwork of the Tall Man and a silver sphere! All I can say is.... WOW! Mike not only sketched incredible detail on the Tall Man himself, but even on the mausoleum behind him as well. And how appropriate that he also sketched a silver sphere on a miniature Etch-A-Sketch. This is just too nice to shake clean. If you'd like to see more of Mike's impressive Etch-a-Sketch creations, visit his IG page.

It looks like Mike was recreating an iconic image from the set of 1988's Phantasm II. I've included the original shot at the bottom of this post for comparison purposes. Again, way to go, Mike! You've won the internet for today, hands down.
