Phantasm isn't a bad flick. It is pure gold.
" horror fans aren't usually car guys"
SHOTS FIRED!
Christine: Am I a joke to you?
Dean Winchester: "Excuse me?"
I first saw this film when I was 11 yrs old. I've always been a horror junkie and this film and it's sequel are easily some of the greatest of all time. The late 70s and all through the 80s were the golden years of horror. Practical effects, actual plots, and frightening story lines. Unbeatable.
R.I.P. Angus Scrimm. You were awesome.
On a pedestal with Englund, Warlock, Hodder and Perkins.
He is still awesome always will be
That symphony of the night bit at the end is just 👨🏿🍳👌🏿
One of my favorite horror movies EVER. RIP ANGUS SCRIMM.
FINALLY someone made a decent review of this old gem. Cinemassacre's been ignoring it for eight years.
RatSitnov ikr seems those folks are busy being too mainstream for this gem..... sigh oh well leave it to true fans do a great job the trivias were nice but the closer was priceless :D
Mainstream?
I am pretty sure Cinemassacre will eventually cover this film. As James Rolfe said, there are still many horror films that they have not covered but will. Calling them mainstream or delving into mainstream things mostly is a huge misconception and their focus is classic horror, much superior to modern horror. There is more to love about Cinemassacre aside from AVGN too. Board James, Monster Madness, James and Mike Monday’s, and while I am not a huge fan of the rental reviews at all, they are still fun to watch.
@@DennisSema Cabinet of Dr Caligari, Mr Sardonicus and others films they covered are most definitely not mainstream.
V. V. Emil I never said they were mainstream. Those films are far from mainstream, but Cinemassacre’s Monster Madness tends to cover mainstream horror as well as lesser known horror, and with the latter, they are phenomenal at that.
The "Tall Man" always scared the bejesus out of me as a kid
I'm 6'4" also.
I once scared the crap out of some trick-or-treaters by dressing up as the Wolfman, using my own upper chest length beard to full effect.
For me, it was always him and the Reverend from Poltergeist 2, they are so scary.
"The place is infested with jawas." I snorted my water out my nose on that one! X-D
That jawa sound effect was hilarious
The castlevania symphony of the night reference is hilarious. "What is a man...a miserable little pile of secrets, but enough talk.....HAVE AT YOU."
Nevermind the sequel's explanation: if you look at the film as a standalone, the whole thing is a Jacob's Ladder scenario where the main character tries to overcome a major trauma and move on with his life through his dreams. Except in this case, he fails and is consumed by his fear and grief.
Dude! Thank you! I just watched this movie for the first time ever; and I was trying to wrap my head around that.
@@tomgreen691
Have you seen the rest of the series?
@@tomgreen691 it's not the green tom show
This film's theme has haunted the dark corners of my mind since I saw it in the early '80s. The tune is a little reminiscent of Tubular Bells from The Exorcist -- some of the best spine-tingling music to ever score a horror film (alongside John Carpenter's Halloween, The Fog, and The Thing). Thanks for the vid!
As an aside, have you considered doing an "Exploring..."-style commentary/review of film scores? (If such already exists, ignore me; just discovered your channel this morning and have been binge-watching all day. Love your work! Two dewclaws up!)
the proger that composed tubullar bells did it when he was like 18yo
the more you know
Great horror movie. I saw it in a midnight show back in 1979. Walking my way back home, I was shitting in my pants. It was the longest mile I've ever walked in my life.
Over four years and no Phantasm 2 video. 😭
Yep. Still nowt
@@davestar4718 now 2 years after your point of it being 4yrs
So has anyone rented it?
8 years now.
Just passed 9yrs with no sequel
I LOVE all the Phatasm movies. Each has it's own cheesy charm, and the tall man is an amazingly cool bad guy.
Love both the Mr Hanky and Symphony of the Night references. 😆
It's funny that you mentioned Mustard after the finger cutting scene. I saw this film at a drive-in in Morrisville PA. when I was 6, and I couldn't eat mustard for years after seeing that scene.
Ima mustarrrdd mannnn!!!
I had a similar experience as a kid when I watched Aliens...during the chest burster scene I was eating french toast and threw up...couldnt eat it for years...also I couldnt drink milk...it had to be chocolate lol
So I'm hoping that the drive in didn't show the ad right after the movie where they command you to, "Come and get your hot dogs with all the fixings!"
In Carmichales, eh? It's still up and running.
I'm gonna say it here: LOVE your reviews, man. But this one struck a really particular string in me. The Phantasm movies, especially the first two, have always seemed to me so... Bradbury-ish. I mean, the atmosphere, the face of the evil, and the idea of overcoming one's fears... And you put my puzzle together because I didn't know that Coscarelli was initially planning to film "Something Wicked"! It was soooo rewarding. Thank you for your thoughts and appreciation for this masterpiece.
this film was always on at 2 am in the 90's. good memories. going into school tired the next day
The scene in the room with the barrels and the portal to the slave planet made this movie...loved the eerie sound effects in that terrifying room!
That Cuda is bad ass!
LMAO OMG that ending of the video with The Tall Man as Dracula and Mike as Richter Belmont is comic gold.
I was 15 when I saw this movie. Never forgot that brain drilling ball or that uber badass car. This movie was AWESOME.
Been seeing your videos pick up a lot of traction quickly lately. Hopefully the trend keeps going. Been recommending you to a lot of friends and it would be awesome to see you get more then 10k views per vid.
Always the right kind of humor combined with horror just fits. Good job.
Seeing the sequel last night, I couldn't help but think that this franchise was probably a big influence on Eric Kripke when he created SUPERNATURAL. The Winchester Brothers. The car. Traveling from town to town battling otherworldly evil. The gun collection. Honestly, a SUPERNATURAL/PHANTASM crossover would be totally natural.
It is sad that more people don't know about this movie.
Ah, Entombed. That's where I heard that theme. Thanks for mentioning that. Drove me crazy.
Dude these videos are fantastic. The endings are particularly well done and informative.
Thank you!
GoodBadFlicks just wanted to say i recently discovered your movie reviews , I have to say its awesome . The retro feel , the set up for the reviews is great. Keep it up man. I find this very entertaining. I havent been able to stop watching tbh . Love the horror.
Adam Block they are great aren’t they. I’m bloody addicted!
I have a signed poster from the whole cast! Love this movie!
I’m in the process of just watching every video you’ve made in order starting from your earliest available and this may be my favorite so far.
I’ve loved this flick since the first time I watched it and I loved how you described it. It is one of the most unique horror movies I’ve ever seen.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the rest
I came here for an Entombed reference and you delivered, well done.
I know my metal :)
@GoodBadFlicks have you ever thought of doing some reviews involving metal?
LOL I guess not.
One of my all time favorite cars: the 1971 cuda
that was a nice little Symphony of the Night tribute at the end
The Ball scene, was one of the horror scenes that stuck with my mom till her dying day. That a nd that movie "1000 Maniacs" she saw that at a drive in with her cousins that LOVED IT and it just made her sick. Though she said it was called bicentennial when she saw it. I showed her the trailer later and she thought it was awesome seeing part of it again after decades and decades.
I love this movie. The atmosphere and the music is awesome, as is the suspense and the Tall Man.
That last name is epic sir
Wrong guy but hey great name you got as well
Phantasm was a great franchise, and I had a blast watching the entire thing a few years ago. It really deserves more attention than it gets.
Interesting trivia fact - In Yahtzee's series of adventure games, collectively called the Chzo Mythos, one of the main villains was, at least according to Yahtzee himself, directly inspired by the Tall Man from Phantasm.
Damn good classic horror film. Watched it when I was a kid. That graveyard make out scene is side splitting hilarious because when the younger brother gets spooked and runs off, he's running and screaming right past his older brother and the chick on the grave stone. FUCKING HILARIOUS! I am serious, comedic genius of the highest caliber. The whole movie is classic and well done.
Fucking Entombed! As a swede i feel proud to that my favorite band covered the theme from a great film :D
you make all the movies better. and the ending dialogue is brilliant
+Filip lahoda Thanks!
+GoodBadFlicks lol yeah holy fuck that was hilarious
Phantasm and Salem's Lot...2 underrated gems that started terrifying as children and hasn't stopped over the years!
That Castlevania SoTN reference 🤣🍻
Love this film!!! Watched it in the 80s and loved it. Nice n creepy, and that theme (and everything else) hugely under rated, especially in the uk. Go watch this film, it's a proper classic. Thanks for another great review!!!
I’ve always liked that song on Entombed’s Left Hand Path but only just realised it’s the theme to Phantasm!
Great video! :) when I saw this movie as a kid and teen, I thought that the Tall Man was sending people to hell, and not another dimension.
The music is one of the scariest aspects of this film. Great score.
Thanks!
I love when people actually put their heart into a movie you can tell. Love the castlevania and south park reference. Those marble corridors are way to creepy. Also those intros for each review are awesome.
I swear either you did a review before or I could just have seen some one else do it.
This is the result when the cast & crew simply gives their all to the project. Just outstanding! 😁
"Boooyyyy!"
Just want to say thanks for all the work you do on these reviews. You have a great sense of humor that actually reignites my interest in many of these films.
Awesome, thanks!
You play a good game boy, but now the game is at an end!!!!!!-The Tall man
I've just ascended as i learned about that great Entombed song's origin. And gj putting it at the end!
Farewell Angus. RIP.
Phantasm is so awesome. Angus Scrimm was such a nice guy in real life. I met him at Texas Frightmare Weekend he signed my copy of Phantasm. It is crazy that this same guy played one of the creepiest villains The Tall Man.
When I first saw this movie it scared the HELL out of me. Great classic.
I always remember the front cover of the VHS at my local store, when I finally got to see it the scenes of the sphere kiling freaked me out massively.
This movie has tons of charm and so loveable characters. Also the music always gives me major goosebumps and brings tears of nostalgia to my eyes.
Greetings from Germany! (where PHANTASM is called DAS BÖSE / THE EVIL)
You really need todo candyman: day of the dead , that film gets a really bad rep and it's actually a pretty dam good movie
No shit. Another youtuber in dubbed to in the comments section. That's neat. I've only ever seen it happen once before
The Tall Man has haunted my nightmares since I was a kid...such a freaking great movie...that theme music is legendary!!
one of my fave horror movie franchises-so glad coscarelli did them all!
Great review. You deserve more subs, like, seriously. 7,000?! That is absurd. But I think one of the reason why is because you post videos in a lengthy time period. Your last review was a week ago, and with all of the movies in the world, it should take about 3 - 5 movies per week. I am not complaining, I LOVE this channel, I just think it would be better with more videos per week.
I wanted him to say "When the house vanishes, it really disappeared. No one knows how."
I thought he was going to say that scene was ripped off by Poltergeist.
this is the best comment ever
The Castlevania bit at the end earned the thumbs-up, i only wish I could upvote more than once!!!
please do the second part, phantasm 2 please
+Israel Gonzalez Pulido planning on it
+GoodBadFlicks Phantasm 2 is soooooooo great
+GoodBadFlicks I'd like to see the rest done by you :D, awesome review.
Still waiting.
GoodBadFlicks Hurry up! Lol
Had the VHS for both Phantasm and Phantasm 2. Thanks for the video. Symphony of the night. Holy crap what a great game.
Thanks for watching!
I was gonna request this, but here we are! You're my favorite youtube channel. I only discovered the channel a few weeks ago, and I've seen like 50, so far. I aim for that completionist status. Stay rad
Thank you! There's plenty more videos to catch up on then :)
That Mr. Hankey clip cause me to snot my soda!!! Awesome.
G-d, that score is great, it reminds me of something I heard after turning the Sci-Fi channel on while half asleep
The Tall Man looks like the inspiration for the Slender Man creatures design.
Rickbane01 wow, that is possible!
The whole series feels like an inspiration for Slenderman series, marble Hornets everymanhybrid ect
Yes the tall man may be Slenderman from a toupa inspired idea...
I was lucky enough to discover this movie on late night tv when I was about 15, just after hearing Entombed's Left Hand Path. A unique viewing experience, truly one creepy film and a testament to low budget ingeniouity.
Phantasm is one of the best 70's indie horror film. I love it!!!
I actually loved all 4 of the Phantasm movies
I was a kid when this came out, too young to see it, but all the older kids who did (or the kids with cool uncles) raved about it. I finally watched it last night on Amazon Prime. Definitely one of the most bizarre horror movies I've seen. Looking forward to checking out the sequel(s).
One of my favorite movies growing up. Over the years I've asked so many people if they've seen this movie and they respond that they've never even heard of it, to my dismay. Thanks for sharing this. AWESOME flicks. First one better than second one, but nevertheless still great!
Thanks for watching!
Those barrels and the white room with the silver portal are what makes this movie stand above other movies of the time.
The way Mike screams and run😂😂😂😂
Phantasm 2 is one of the best horror movies I've seen! I can't wait for the final!
What did you think of "raVager"?
@no1 Jack
I think that setting "OblIVion" in the desert was a very poor choice.
But I did love the flashback scenes that utilized some of the unused footage from the original film.
Hontoni Arigato... I don’t know if you belong on tik tok... Or you just haven’t seen many films! Either way... that’s one of the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard about horror movies! I bet you’re a fan of death metal too... you dingus!!!
The mages guild joke just made me want to replay Oblivion.
Nice touch adding the Castlevania dialogue at the end... You have another subscription
Castlevania: SOTN reference = brilliantly done.
Thank you! I am still quite happy with that one
Indeed!
one of the best horror movies out there. It has a dream feel to it.
please please PLEASE do the rest of this series. my absolute favorite
I REALLY need to see these movies in a marathon or something, never watched them all the way though since I caught them on cable TV not at the beginning. As a PC gamer in the 90s, there was one villain that the Tall Man reminded me of, and that was Henry Stauf form The 7th Guest. They both were genuinely creepy looking old men, only Stauf was an vagrant turned evil toymaker making a bargain with something "form beyond" sending him visions. Tall Man comes off as some kind of Lovecraftian entity like a Denizen of Leng or something. Great review!
theblocksays Thanks! 1-2 are the best but unfortunately 3-4 suffer from having next to no budget. I'm holding out hope for 5.
Go to Putlocker
Nice Castlevania symphony of the night refrence at the end ;)
Jason Todd it was too perfect to not go for it thanks ^^
GoodBadFlicks Until the "miserable pile of secrets" bit i thought there was a phantasm game lol
The tall man and his metallic balls scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Greatest horror villain in the late 70's.
This movie scared the shit out of me as a kid,,,,between this and the exorcist I had a fucked up childhood
There are plenty of horror fans who are car lovers. Especially hotrods and muscle cars. A lot of horror accessories and themes are incorporated into classic car culture.
The show Supernatural may have increased the number of horror fans who dig classic muscle cars.
You Mericans don't know what you are missing around Europe, Asia horror, music and cars culture from late 70s up till late 90s....TH-cam did help before Google fuck things up.
Great review. It's nice to see that many people including yourself appreciate this gem of a movie. I have Phantasm and it's three sequels and I love each one, and yes, even to this day I still want a Hemicuda.
ENTOMBED!!
For my fellow Metalheads, Entombed come from the Gothenburg scene, AKA: Swedish Death Metal.
Other notable bands with a similar sound are Dismember, Grave, Dissection, In Flames, At the Gates, and more recently Bloodbath (Mikael Akerfeldt's of Opeth). Check out this killer subgenre.
Phantasmagorical!
🤘😎🤘
6:00 Aaaaaand we just learned where Tom Cruise gets 90% of his acting influence from.
+RandomTXDude210 Yes, but I would like to think that Cruise has mastered the skill. With each new movie, he does it a little...faster.
I thought that this timestamp would get us to the part about Angus Scrimm wearing lifts...
I was a kid when I saw the movie, Damn I coudnt sleep well for years. Angus Scrimm was one of my favorite horror film villains. Sadly he past away 2016. RIP to a hero.
cool touch with the Entombed cover. Hell yeah!
This was the first official terrifying film I saw as a kid (aside from JAWS)...I was 10 years old, at a sleepover in 4th grade, and this movie freaked me out SO MUCH that I couldn’t get to sleep that night and was afraid to go into my own room or any dark room in my house for days after. I just watched it again for the first time today, and I finally got to see again what was cemented in my brain as a kid. It isn’t nearly as scary now as it was then, but the effects still hold up pretty good. That flying ball with the knives and drill was one of the most horrifying things in my childhood, and that tall man haunted my imagination for years. I saw this at a sleepover in 1980 or 81, but wasn’t that before VCRs at home? I don’t know how we got to see it. Was cable a thing in 1981? Could it have been on a cable channel that long ago? We certainly weren’t renting movies in those days.
VCR was around in the 70s.
Dude! Entombed first couple of albumns are sick 😲
Left Hand Path will always be my favorite
Well done mentioning the Entombed cover.
@GoodBadFlicks, you combined two of my favorite horror fiction: Castlevania and Phantasm. I am officially a full fan. What a rewarding ending. :)
Going to see this in theaters on Saturday!
So psyched, first chance I've had to see it on the big screen.
The Death Metal song at the end is pure Brilliance!
I love the Symphony of the Night reference.
Dude, that comment about wanting a Hemi Cuda because of this film. Spot. Fucking. On.
That score,.. omg that score. so amazing.
The Drilling into the face is Awesome....
That mustard finger was excellent!
