I plan to watch the rest of them even though I was pretty seriously underwhelmed by the second. The first has very quickly become one of my all-time faves.

Hahaha what the shit, how short was this poll? I never even read the thread, let alone voted.

the Phantasm movies are fun and different and have some neat ideas and images, they're quite loveable

could've voted for Basket Case tho, might even have gone with Maniac Cop if i could remember anything about the sequels. concept always makes me smile.

That's rad about Ravager. I feared that it was already in development hell and ultimately doomed once Scrimm died.
Basket Case and It's Alive are the most worthy franchises of those that received zero votes. Those looking for a gonzo good time would do well jumping into the third entry of each.

Speaking of that Phantasm restoration how's life posted, one of my local arthouse theaters, the beautiful Capitol Theatre in Cleveland, is showing it one-night-only on Sept. 24, followed by a live-streamed Q&A with Don Coscarelli and cast members. Can't wait for that.
The Capitol also does an annual 12-hour Halloween movie marathon. It's an awesome place.

I'm afraid to watch Ravager. How is Ravager? Phantasm Ravager.

RaVager. Next one will be ReVIval, presumably, don't know what'll haven with the seventh.
I'm looking forward to seeing the whole shebang when the new box set is released. The first has become an annual staple.

it looks like complete garbage (bad cinematography, terrible cgi) but the script is the most phantasm-y script ever and really rescues it. plus reggie is great throughout

anyway if anyone here has hbo go and shudder: you too can marathon the phantasm movies

Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest is an absolute blast, after being kind of bored/disappointed by the first one. The corn really gets to play a vital role, and I'm sure it's a must-see for any Chicago natives.
