Phantasm Character Art by Owen Soule

Phantasm phans are just the best. Tonight, I came across these terrific creations by artist Owen Soule of Soule Designs. Owen tells on his website that he watched all five films in December, which prompted him to paint his own depictions of the characters. So great seeing Mike and Jody here as they appeared in the original Phantasm. Owen further reveals that Reggie's look is somewhere between Phantasm II and Phantasm III, which seems about right.

Fantastic New Mike/Tall Man Phan Art

“A teenage boy and his friends face off against a mysterious grave robber known only as the Tall Man, who keeps a lethal arsenal of terrible weapons with him..”

Very excited to share with you today this new art print by the fantastic Matthew Therrien, who I'm a big fan of. This Mike/Tall Man piece is part of his "Final Girls & Cinema Survivors" series, which highlights protagonists from franchises like Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th and many more. You don't see a lot of phan artwork that draws from A. Michael Baldwin's original Phantasm look, so that makes this piece even more great.

You can grab a gorgeous print of this on heavyweight stock with archival inks for the low price of $11.32 on Etsy. Would love to see Matthew tackle older Mike/Tall Man or Reggie/Tall Man!

Phantasm vs Re-Animator!?! Yes, please!

Now that we've had a fifth Phantasm, who would be up for a crossover with the Re-Animator franchise? Perhaps Dr. Herbert West was one of the doctor's at Reggie's hospital! Or even worse, a colleague of the Tall Man? The Re-Animator has already crossed over with Evil Dead's Ash in a groovy comic mini-series, so why not Phantasm? Prop maker and sphere master Mark Phillips of Nightmares Unlimited has put together a terrific new prop display that teases the very concept. I especially love all the little details like the mini-spacegate poles andmausoleum marble background. Excellent work, Mark!

Interestingly, the hypodermic-needle equipped silver sphere is strikingly similar to the nightmare vision that first led Don Coscarelli to incorporate the creation into Phantasm.
