Phantasm: Ravager hits VOD on October 4 and limited theaters on October 7.
Starring unknown actors and made on a tiny $300,000 budget, Phantasm quickly became a creepy cult favorite, and made a genre icon out of its imposing villain The Tall Man (Angus Scrimm).
The Phantasm series could never be accused of being a stickler for continuity, although that aspect tends to be embraced by the franchise’s devotees.
Unfortunately, this didn’t prevent the newly christened Phantasm: Ravager from experiencing delays, as producer Coscarelli and new director David Hartman attempted to secure distribution for the film.
