Phantasm is easily my favorite horror series after Evil Dead, which is the best horror series ever. Though the best horror film of all time might just be Bubba Hotep…

I not even a horror aficionado, but I love Phantasm. I saw the original Phantasm on HBO not long after it finished its short theater run. My cousin and I may have been high when we watched it. I’m pretty sure we were. In any event we were spellbound and kept re-watching it on HBO every time it was replayed. Parts of it are really funny, and maybe not intentionally, but it’s magnetic, at least for me. I’ve re-watched the original periodically over the years. There’s something about that film that I just can’t stop watching. I just recently started working my way through the sequels, which I didn’t even know existed until February of this year, but that discovery made me very happy .

I really dug the final film, Ravager. It’s almost all focused on Reg and brings up a number of interesting issues that I didn’t even get into in the article.

I haven’t seen ravager yet. I came here to say, but got lost in my head, thank you for that essay. You may have explained my unexplainable attraction to Phantasm.
