I love them! really must get hold of them. Not watched them for years. When I was 15 (many moons ago lol) I was in a play of Dracula (I played Jonathon Harker before you ask) and we took it to the Edinburgh festival. We used the music from Phantasm as the backing soundtrack.
Before I conquered The Exorcist, Phantasm was a very scary movie for me….however, some of the edge was taken off when I saw it classified as a “science fiction horror movie” at one point….so I was able to watch it with a little more fortitude, since I am a science fiction geek–when I'm not busy being a rock star. 🙂
I'm a phan of the Phantasm pics & am eternally optomistic that a sequel or remake will be forthcoming. It's unusual to see such a low budget series envelope itself in such a fascinating mythology…aliens, time travel, dimentional portals, mysterious spheres and the enigmatic; The Tall Man. Arguably, the 1st pic was the only 'good' one but even the lesser films add to the mythology in ways that make them invaluable viewing.
Hiya from Romania! A streamer compared organic triggers to bonus buys; I went organic only and ran sprint cycles—20 spins, tea break, 20 spins. Second sprint finally lined stacked wilds, reversing the early drizzle. I laughed at myself for nearly leaving one spin too soon. In the middle of that grin, I opened spino gambino to lock my target and stuck to it. Ended with a neat uplift and a tidy session log for future me.
