Xenomania – Episode 10: Phantasm II

Jon, Ryan, and Kearns continue their deep dive into the Phantasm saga with a breakdown of Phantasm II (1988), the bigger, bloodier, and more action-packed sequel to Don Coscarelli’s surreal horror classic. They explore the film’s shift toward high-energy horror, its wild special effects, and the expanded mythology of the Tall Man’s eerie dominion. From Reggie’s transformation into a chainsaw-wielding hero to the relentless silver spheres, this episode examines how Phantasm II carved out its own place in horror history. Was the studio-backed sequel a worthy successor, or did it lose the dreamlike magic of the original? Tune in as the hosts debate, dissect, and celebrate this cult horror favorite.
