If watching PHANTASM is like experiencing a waking nightmare – strange, unexplainable, gleefully deranged – it's a nightmare you never want to wake up from.

A group of small-town friends must band together to stop the Tall Man, a mysterious force of cosmic horror, and his dimension-hopping schemes as he unleashes his deadly silver Sentinel Spheres among any unlucky enough to enter the boogeyman's mausoleum.

Written, produced, directed, shot, and edited by horror auteur Don Coscarelli when he was only 23 years old, PHANTASM deftly mixes gothic horror, sci-fi, surrealism, and a killer prog rock score together in a grief-ridden adolescent fever dream that horror fans have never stopped worshipping.

Forty years after its release, PHANTASM has never looked or sounded better thanks to a stunning new remaster and a 5.1 surround sound mix produced by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and Coscarelli. Don't miss your chance to rediscover one of the scariest films ever unleashed upon the unprepared collective mind of humanity.
