Phantasm | TWASM | T Watches A Scary Movie

T is wrapping up his week long coverage of some of the most memorable monster movies of the 80s, and even though this next film came out in '79, it certainly sets the stage for what was to come in the next decade.

Phantasm

The residents of a small town have begun dying under strange circumstances, leading young Mike to investigate. After discovering that the Tall Man, the town's mortician, is killing and reanimating the dead as misshapen zombies, Mike seeks help from his older brother, Jody, and local ice cream man Reggie. Working together, they try to lure out and kill the Tall Man, all the while avoiding his minions and a deadly silver sphere.
