  1. Horror Used to Be Beautifully Insane

    /LOGS/BLOG_POST Posted by Eric |May 23, 2026 Spent the entire day watching the Phantasm series like some sleep-deprived cemetery groundskeeper trapped inside a fever dream from 1979. Five movies. Flying chrome murder balls. Hooded dwarfs. Dimensional portals. The Tall Man stalking around like your uncle after discovering conspiracy documentaries on YouTube. And somehow… it still rules. Modern horror spends half its runtime explaining itself like a nervous coworker defending a PowerPoint […]

  2. On my recuperation stroll today, I also nipped into Fopp to treat myself to some Blu-Rays. So this evening's viewing distraction will be a 1970s #horror classic, Phantasm.

  7. Gotham City was rife with criminality. Residents were grateful for having the #DynamicDuo in keeping the villains and their henchmen in check with a punchup.

  8. It seems like everyday there's a new reality to accept. Why bring movies to life? Why?

    Now, we can add Phantasm to the list. Great.

  13. Mistodon: this #teletext portrait of the #Phantasm horror movie series' antagonist #theTallMan, as played by the late #AngusScrimm, was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection two years ago this month!

  14. CW: CW - Talk of eyeballs and horror, #STSNW and #AlienEarth

    So, I'm not squeamish when it comes to most gore in TV and movies (and when it's gratuitous, I can't take it seriously. The famous scene from #Phantasm comes to mind -- too much blood is ridiculous). Anyhow, my Achilles' heel is eyeballs. It stemmed from watching "X - The Man With the X-Ray Eyes" at too young an age. Anyhow, both I could do without the eyeball poking and runaway eyeballs I've been seeing on TV. Ugh! Nightmare fuel for me. And I'm watching SciFi, not horror (well, Alien Earth is both).

    Human being and justice are ideas, #ghosts, for the love of which everything is sacrificed; therefore, the priestly spirits are the “self-sacrificing” ones. Whoever goes into raptures over the human leaves persons out of consideration so far as that rapture extends, and floats in an ideal, sacred interest. The human is indeed not a person, but an ideal, a #phantasm.

    Mensch und Gerechtigkeit sind Ideen, #Gespenster, denen zu Liebe alles geopfert wird: darum sind die pfäffischen Geister die „aufopfernden“. Wer für den Menschen schwärmt, der läßt, soweit jene Schwärmerei sich erstreckt, die Personen außer Acht und schwimmt in einem idealen, heiligen Interesse. Der Mensch ist ja keine Person, sondern ein Ideal, ein #Spuk.

    Spiritual people have something they’ve planted in their head that is supposed to be realized. They have concepts of love, goodness, and the like, which they would like to see actualized; therefore they want to build a kingdom of love on earth, in which no one any longer acts from self-interest, but everyone acts “from love.” Love is supposed to rule. What they’ve planted in their head, what is one supposed to call it other than—a #fixedidea? Indeed, it “#haunts their heads.” The most oppressive #phantasm is the human being. Just think of the proverb, “The road to ruin is paved with good intentions.” The intention to completely actualize humanity in oneself, to completely become human, is of such a ruinous sort; such are the intentions to become good, noble, loving, etc.

    Die geistlichen Menschen haben sich Etwas in den Kopf gesetzt, was realisiert werden soll. Sie haben Begriffe von Liebe, Güte u. dergl., die sie verwirklicht sehen möchten; darum wollen sie ein Reich der Liebe auf Erden errichten, worin Keiner mehr aus Eigennutz, sondern Jeder „aus Liebe“ handelt. Die Liebe soll herrschen. Was sie sich in den Kopf gesetzt haben, wie soll man das anders nennen, als – #fixeIdee? Es „#spukt ja in ihrem Kopfe“. Der beklemmendste #Spuk ist der Mensch. Man denke des Sprichwortes: „Der Weg zum Verderben ist mit guten Vorsätzen gepflastert.“ Der Vorsatz, die Menschlichkeit ganz in sich zu verwirklichen, ganz Mensch zu werden, ist von so verderblicher Art; dahin gehören die Vorsätze, gut, edel, liebevoll usw. zu werden.

  21. During the past weekends, I re-watched Phantasm 1 - 4, and then, much to my delight, discovered there is even a fifth one, which I watched last Friday!

    Dang, these are *so* good! (Especially the first one, but I liked all the sequels as well)

    Everything about them seems so specific, without too much explanation.

    They effortlessly create a dreamlike atmosphere that completely drew me in.

    Thank you for the reminder! 🧡

    (Do you know other movies with such a vibe?)

  27. Un 28 de març s'estrenava FANTASMA (1979) d'en Dan Coscarelli.

    Una pel·lícula de culte que encara ens fa tremolar avui en dia.

  28. Well this is certainly not something I hoped to see anytime soon. Apparently Reggie Bannister, from the classic #Phantasm franchise, has declined in health entered hospice care.

    I still need to watch Phantasm V. I love the first four films so much but I never watched part V. I was hesitant due to It being the sole film in the franchise not directed by Don cascarelli.

    Perhaps it's time I give it a watch...

  29. I probably did this a disservice by not revisiting the previous films, but this was just OK. Neat to see everyone back, but would have liked a more cohesive finale. #MovieReview #Phantasm

  31. Was pruning photos from an old phone and found this one I took last fall. This sign was in front of a creepy funeral home (also pictured). Pretty sure the local cemetery has been emptied and turned into inter-dimensional dwarves. #Phantasm #Tallman #Horror

  32. Fondly remembering Lawrence Rory Guy (1926-2016), the imposing, Grammy-winning American actor, author and journalist, born in Kansas #OnThisDay. He adopted the stage name #AngusScrimm as the unforgettable, indestructible (and 6 foot 4) mortician Jebediah Morningside, a.k.a. #TheTallMan in Don Coscarelli's creepy, surreal #Phantasm (1979), reprising the role in four sequels between 1988 and 2016 while stealing scenes in various other genre films.

  33. He sprang to his hearse,
    to his team gave a stare,
    And away they all flew
    like a case of beer.

    But I heard him exclaim,
    ere he drove out of sight ---
    "Have a Phantasmic Christmas for now, and we'll be back for the boy another night."
