S1E30 - Phantasm (1979)

It contains almost all of the seemingly standardized criteria for a classic B-movie: low budget, convoluted plot, and ALIENS. However, Phantasm in retrospect seems to be a cut above the regular 70's B-movie schlock. There's something about the very dreamy atmosphere and the imposing and domineering presence of the aptly named "Tall Man" that sets this film apart from others that have similar qualities. We know it has a cult following but do many of you know the story of how it was made? It's an interesting tale. Gather around as we talk about weekend filming, on-the-fly script writing, and premonition dreams. Enjoy!
