Phantasm Unveiled.

Phantasm IV OblivionImage via Wikipedia

In the film Phantasm there is a cemetery called Morningside.  This doesn't exist in reality.  Like many other scenes in the first three films.  Phantasm is so cleverly created.  If you start at the very begining, you'll know what I mean. 

Angus Scrimm plays a Tall grey haired Man.  He is the Lord Of Darkness.  He has all these secret hidden dimensions.  He has taken over the world, and enslaved humans.  The Tall Man has turned every human being into Dwarfs.  They do his bidding for him, to rule earth.  The Dwarf-like creatures come out at night, to dig up the dead out of graveyards.  They are then shrunk down into smaller creatures, as the Tall Man's slaves. 

I also love the silver spheres that fly through the air.  The Tall Man always haunts many corridors of Crematoriums.  He jumps out of the shadows, in order to startle people.  He even chases after children through haunted rooms etc.  I have watched all three films in one sitting.  There has been talk circulating, that there are more films of Phantasm that were made.  There is one called Phantasm 1999, but I haven't found this on Amazon.  But I say, No...It's never over.  Watch out for those silver spheres.
