Don Coscarelli's Phantasm is a low-budget fantasy horror and cult favorite.
An indie production, the film is the first in a franchise and introduced horror fans to iconic character The Tall Man.
Made on a shoestring budget, Coscarelli relied on family and friends for help with the production, yet the film would triumph with millions at the box office.
Known for its surreal qualities, the movie has been heralded by critics and fans and recently added to the prestigious Criterion Collection.
In this episode, I'll explore what makes Phantasm a classic worth your time today as well as discuss a bit of the film's making and legacy in the horror community.
