Strange things are afoot at the Morningside mortuary…… the undertaker has superhuman strength and fingers that have a life of their own, flying silver balls make mince-meat out of trespassers and demonic, hooded dwarves run amok. It is up to 13-year-old Mike Pearson and his buddies to battle these evil forces and save the whole town from a fate worse than death. This little nugget of cult movie history has an innocent yet very twisted charm. Angus Scrimm's turn as The Tall Man has deservedly made him an icon of horror cinema who still draws in the crowds at horror conventions all over the world and the deadly spheres and gawa-like, vertically challenged minions of hell are a touch of real genius. Although the film is terribly dated, with less than convincing acting and a storyline that goes from the absurd to the ridiculous, 'Phantasm' is a fun, tongue-in-cheek, original slice of horror – and you don't get to say that very often.
