Ballad of a Tall Man: Phantasm (1979)
The scares continue all through Halloween over here at KYI! The hosts, and their guest Levi Butner, wander the graveyards and get stuck in the muck as they discuss Don Coscarelli’s cult classic Phantasm. The obvious connections to Spielberg and Raimi are noted, as are the film’s roots in the Universal Monster tradition. Join us as we celebrate this massive achievement in low-budget filmmaking. Just watch out for the Tall Man, that motha’s stronggg! Topics include: actors watching their own work, “nerd-horror”, and the many places to hide flying orbs inside a person.
