It's been far too long since we've had an addition to the bizarro PHANTASM universe created by Don Coscarelli, beginning back in 1979. An almost indescribably odd mix of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, action, and kid power sub-genres, it rocked the worlds of all of us here at the BONUS MATERIAL. Personally, I loved the second installment as well, though admittedly, while still being fun, the two ther additions that followed were of diminishing returns. Then there was the rumored 5th film, with a screenplay by The Dude tarrentino Fucked Over, Roger Avary (the real brains behind PULP FICTION, at least in the writing stage) that even got an FX laden table reading. Still...nothing.
Then news of PHANTASM RAVAGER dropped a few months back, and that it had somehow been filmed already, and kept a secret. All of us in the internet age know what a magic trick this is. So imagine my surprise and immense joy when I awoke this Christmas morning and found THIS online.
I'll say no more, just feat your horror-lovin' eyeballs on this teaser, and producer Don Coscarelli and director David Hartman, as they unwrap and unveil one of the best presents us scare junkies could ever hope for. Holey Moley, the scope of this thing looks immense, and I'm praying that it gets a proper theatrical release so we can see these staggering visuals the way they were meant to be...big big big.
Bring it on 2015. We are ready for PHANTASM RAVAGER!
Here's the older teaser too for those that missed it. It's so great to see so many of the familiar faces back as well!
