Seller Offering 3D Printed Silver Sphere Model Kits

We've seen a lot of great sphere replicas over the years, but this may be a first. Etsy user Pixi3DStore is offering 3D printed silver sphere model kits for sale! Assembly looks super easy and they're a great buy at only $14.99 per kit. Sure, they're only plastic, you have to paint them, and they're nowhere near the superb quality of a BakerProps or Nightmares Unlimited ball, but it's still quite nice for the price. Get yours here!

Event Report: Don Coscarelli Night at the Strand Theater


Last night was a great night to be in Seymour, Connecticut. That's where The Strand Theater held Don Coscarelli Night, which consisted of a double-feature screening of Bubba Ho-Tep and the original Phantasm. We've got a report from the event and some sweet photos thanks to mega-phan Scott Pensa, who was in attendance.

The night also included some great cult movie trailers, giveaways, and raffles. Additionally, the theater commissioned artist Matt Wilson to create a special limited edition print for the night depicting both films. Printed on metallic paper, the silver edition was limited to forty copies. The night also contained an unannounced treat in that Matt also printed an extremely limited gold variant edition. How limited? Five copies limited. Scott snapped up four of these prints for himself, myself, and fellow mega-phans Peter Marullo and Matt Naylor. The fifth gold variant print went to the artist himself. Could you imagine being the disappointed phan behind Scott in line wanting one of these? Ha!!




The Strand also printed these nifty Phantasm plastic cups for the event, which feature a silver sphere and the Tall Man's iconic line from the original film's finale. Eagle-eyed Scott kept watchful eye to see if anyone left their cup behind or threw it away as they're collectible, but he says people were clinging to them, so damn. Thanks for the report and photos, Scott!

This Phantasm II Sticker Sold for $257 because, uh... reasons?


This kind of blows my mind, but remember those nifty Prism stickers from the 80s? The kind you'd get from quarter machines at the supermarket? Well, they're super collectible now, especially ones depicting horror movies of the era. And Phantasm II is one of the more collectible ones, apparently. We've seen P2 stickers fetch as high as $75 on eBay, but this...

This afternoon, a Phantasm II prism sticker sold for $257 after a fierce bidding war! I'm not sure I've ever paid that much for a Phantasm collectible, much less a sticker! But I can't deny that it does look cool!

I guess the moral of the story is that if you've got a few old Prism stickers laying around, definitely list them on eBay!
