Phantasm




Fun campy horror film with a Sci-Twist. Angus Scrimm is "The Tall Man", a creepy gangly guy complete with sharp spheres to b-slap the oblivious and the strength of Superman!! When a young boy finds himself the witness to the Tall Man's sinister plans, you've got yourself a good old-fashioned showdown. Cheesey? Yes. Silly? Of course, but still lots of fun. Watch with the lights off and pray to God this guy isn't behind you-

Have you seen "The House with Laughing Windows"? I wanna know if it's worth watching. Only has a few votes on imdb and none at Rotten Tomatoes.

Agree with Sarah on a 2 star basis. Ranks as one of those "Hellraiser" 80's picks. Not as good or near the Awesomeness of Polterguest - I still and always will love you Heather - But totally worth watching at least once.

P.S. Best with green brownies! And Troll - Still Love you also Jenny!
