  • I like how the theme tune is a bit like Suspiria & Halloween - 'All the classic horror films seems to share a certain style when it comes to music.'

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 'What man created man can destroy. Bring to light that day of joy'

  • Hey, you can argue about a remake all you want. I just want a Phantasm 5! It's all about conclusions people!

  • Awesome. I love this series.

  • This is the best film you could ever see out there.

  • go 80

  • game over

  • me over. lol

  • it sounds similar to death notes l theme

  • THE FUNERAL IS ABOUT TO BEING SIR!!

  • this would so great as a remake have chad michael murray play the lead

  • they need to remake

  • LATE NIGHT TIP!

  • Play this late at night for best effect....

  • this theme served as a templet for hip hop producers wanting to sample music that was dark and mysterious as a backdrop for their music, for example, east coast hip hop producers in the mid to late 80s and gang of southern hip hop producers all the way in the 90s, along with the triggerman( drag rap) sample.

  • Back in those days nobody thought of remakes. All the movies were just so original and now it seems like imagination and originality is gone..Something happened after the year 1999-2000...something bad.

  • @Argo108 I totally agree on that its so crazy youd say that. But thats all I gotta say other than I think 9/11 had something to do with it...

  • Entombed!!!

  • Shouldn't be remade, it wouldn't work. The uneveness is part of the effect of the film, it feels like you're having a real fucking nightmare.

  • @VenomShock I agree, and because you've seen it, you'll always be able to appreciate that element.

    Younger audiences will (largely) be unable to connect with that subtlety, and instead find the film confusing, or dull. I guess it's like parents who grew up with "rock" trying to understand why their kids like "rap". But you made a good point, the film has an uneven feel to it, making viewers feel uncomfortable AND immersed. Good call.

  • it wouldnt be the same without Angus schrimm, he's 85 and retired.

  • @tiremaster71580 just like nightmare on elm st remake it sucked with out Robert Englund 

  • First they took mom and dad, then jody now hes after me

  • This is one of the few Horror movies I could actually see having a successful remake. The camp/cult value wouldn't be there, but I think that the psychological angle could be pretty great if done well. Good casting, a different, but similar plot, and acknowledging, but not trying to duplicate, the original classic would make for a pretty good remake. At least, it'd be interesting. Films that tried to do this with little success: Wizard of Gore My Bloody Valentine, Black Xmas. etc.

  • @gorgeousgambler No. Remakes.

  • @DarkToboki As much as I agree, the fact is that there are very few NEW horror films being green-lighted

    in Hollywood. So, the choice between "to remake or not to remake" boils down to the less attractive "to let fade into (further) obscurity, or to remake and reach a new generation of audiences". Original fans will most likely hate it, but at least it'll keep the legacy and the story alive. It's a double-edged sword. Or a double-forked flying sphere.

  • @gorgeousgambler How about Hollywood just try to make a new horror icon instead of re-hashing or Re-Making these classics that do not need a re-make. That is the main problem I have with Hollywood. Leave the Legend as is and Make something new up!!!

  • @TheGoongala New ideas would be great.

    But a bunch of people clamoring for new horror icons and new scares

    doesn't create them. I agree completely that this should NOT be remade.

    My comment was that it COULD have a successful remake, were it to be remade.

    Like "The Thing" (1982), was a successful remake of "The Thing from Another World" (1951).

    "Phantasm" could be remade, but I agree, shouldn't be.

  • @gorgeousgambler I know The Thing is a Remake and I love it but I should have been more specific and said the Re-Makes are getting way too much and I understand were you come from on the Phantasm ordeal and the people Clamoring. Glad we could have a civil debate and writing : )

  • @TheGoongala Good call. Phantasm brings out the best in all of us. And then stabs it in the head with a flying ball.

  • @gorgeousgambler

    It's a foregone conclusion that any attempt to remake this would suck. The same movie companies can't even remake formulaic paint by the numbers movies like Halloween and F13th without fucking them up, so how are they going to remake something as surreal as Phantasm?

  • @darkstar6909 Plus Angus Scrimm is 85 and retired. No one could ever take his place as the tall man.

  • @darkstar6909 With Muppets. A shitload of Muppets.

  • @gorgeousgambler

    Don't say that too loud. Uwe Bolle might be listening.

  • I don't know if a remake could be made of this movie. The character development would probably suck, you know deleted to make the movie move faster, not to slow it down. Dawn Of The Dead remake was actually pretty good and that's saying a lot from me. The Fog remake SUCKED.  I don't think Rob Zombie could do it, probably be too violent. His first Halloween was good but his second made The Fog remake good. Zombie's Halloween 2 was shit. There's really nothing more to say.

  • "You play a good game boy, now the game is finished, now you die." In the second that was originally in the first, "when you die you think you go to heaven, you come to uss". I love the old fashion sound effects like the "poof" from the Munsters. The only flaws were the endings, I call them clinchers, that never ended the movie. In 4 I don't know what happened, it was a bit confusing, maybe something was missing, I don't know what. Of course it did not have a clincher but... it ended.

  • first saw it. Still funny to watch after all these years. And don't forget the characters, Jody, Michael and especially Reggie "this guy's not going to leak over my ice cream is he?" or "we're hot as love you know". In the sequels, he had to have his sex, sometimes hard for him to find. Michael (the McGuiver of the movie, who seemed to had lost it in 3 and 4 unfortunately. And don't forget the tall man before Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, and Chucky. A villain with very little to say. "BOY"

  • My second favorite horror movie of all time. Dawn Of The Dead (original), first, and The Fog being my third. I've always loved Phantasm because of the music, (especially that scene where Jody and Reggie are playing the guitars, a very unique scene in a horror movie, today that would be a deleted scene in today's movies like slowing the movie down, let's get the action moving, the characters and the funny moments that weren't meant to be funny (Mike and Jody fight a jacket, ilmao when I

  • Well... I think I got it. Mike is Slender Man. That means if you want to make a movie about Slender Man you need to use this as a main theme. Or remix it for a main theme.

  • @xFLYBATx slender man? is he the tall mans brothers?

  • @daviddowns81 I think MIKE is Slender Man. If you don't know who is Slender Man type "Marble Hornets" in YouTube's search bar and watch the entries.

  • Come all who seek and let us sit

    Beside the fire a spell—

    There to impart what weighs the heart:

    This tale I have to tell.

    Once seven ships, with seven sails,

    Set out across the sea—

    And from that sail, this tragic tale

    That I convey to thee...watch?v=qcJGECMeS6Y

  • BOOOOOY!!

  • Hey What if Rob zombie remaked Phantasm Holy shit that would be boss LOL

    He made alot of good movies like Devils Rejects and House of 1000 corpes.

    And Im 14 and i love phantasm im the biggest Scary movie lover you will ever meet.

  • @TheEnglnd; That would be Intense !

  • You play a good GameBoy!

  • @PalerLaze That's it, a Game Boy Advance Pokemon duel with The Tall Man for the fate of your town's souls.

  • @PalerLaze

    But the GAME is OVER

    now you now you reset

  • i want this to be played at my funeral.

  • @MechaDestoroyah8

    LMFAO. Now That Is BAD ASS!!!

  • Your journEY ^. ^ is now complete!

  • BOYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!! U PLAY AGOOD GAME!!!!!!!!

  • It's insane how so many of my friends have never seen Phantasm, the film was incredible.

  • BOY !!!

  • The funeral is about to begin... sir.

  • Please someone tell me where i can download this song i want on it my I pod soo bad.

  • Should upload this in 720, much better Audio quality. 360p is like inbetween 16bit mono and stereo.

  • i always thought those little troll were Jawas XD

  • It's a shame that Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave didn't do more scoring work together while they were living....

  • I've had the Anchor Bay UK DVD boxset of Phantasm 1-3 for years, the original film is still my favourite.

  • still waiting for 5 ... guess we will never see it :/ but `I still have some hope

  • I've been expecting you...-shows that his four cut fingers are back-

  • Yo!! Dougie Fresh used this joint in his song"Play this only at night."

  • BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YOU PLAYED A GOOD GAME BOY" BUT NOW YOU DIE

  • Great song...

  • I would never want to live in that movie...

  • dreamy soundtrack, makes me want to live in the movie..

  • love this song, i come to this video at least once a day to listen to it!

  • @1SWINZ1 me too, it kinda relaxes me

  • 2 peapole did not got scared

  • i love the flying spheres with the hooks and the drill.

  • These movies don't make a hell of a lot of sense, but that's part of what makes them good.

  • @Leatherbubba That's exactly why Phantasm is a cult classic, it's WEIRD!!

  • The game is not over BOY!

  • I didn't care much for the 4th film. It was too far out there for what I was expecting. I liked how "deleted" scenes from the first film were used, though. It brought more insight into Mikey and the Tall Man.

  • @jimjam3782 Yea I thought 4 was terrible and instead of making an effort for a 4th film he should have made an unedited Phantasm 1 version and put back in all those scenes.

  • @alphazoom I thought parts 3 and 4 were terrible, but I luv parts 1-2.

  • @2pacthugzta 3 was ok it had plenty of action, but 4 really sucked and the ending was even worse

  • @ThomasAndrewsGal1912 So true. i've been looking for that hip-hop version for the 'longest' and was shocked to hear that it's Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew. I should have known that, because here in NY, one of the stations would play that version as the last song of the night! And i have that version, straight from the radio on cassette, somewhere in my apartment. Soon as i find it, watch the 'Tall Man' appear!

  • It sound quite like the Goblins, in Dario Argento's movies...which means its good..:)

  • Good to see this music is still insanely creepy, even all these years later.

  • i like the original theme and movie its like the best halloween movie im thinking of having the marathon i own all of them

  • 'The funeral is ABOUT to begin'

  • You think when you die you go to heaven? You go to us!

  • I love the music it reminds me of Iron Butterfly but horror inspired instead of psychedelic rock.

  • I first saw this movie when I was around Mike's age in the film, but now I'm the same age as Jody....interesting how your outlook changes through the years. One thing hasn't changed though...Phantasm is still my favorite all-time horror series, bar none.

  • Angels - Within Temptation :)

  • You play a good game, Boy! The game is finished. Now you die!

  • I imagine the Tall Man would be a sore loser at video games.

    Guy: Haha, you suck at Call of Dooty.

    Tall Man: You play a good game boy, now you die!

    Guy: What?

    *Guy gets eaten by zombie dwarves*

  • @kingbeefee lol

  • @kingbeefee sound like u never get laid, lolz!

  • @kingbeefee Oh, and the dwarves are not zombies, trendy idiot.

  • @cheapcape Well, the dwarves are made from reanimated corpses, so I think the word fits loosely, at least. And I know that the dwarves don't eat people, but in my circle of trendy idiot friends, the words "eat" and "kill" are used interchangeably sometimes for some reason.

  • first 2 were good, the ones after that sort of sucked, this has to be the most creepy song i ever heard.

  • @derail14 agreed

  • better than halloween

  • This theme was used in a hip-hop song. Just don't remember the name. I couldn't believe it when i heard it

  • @mr198221 Pass Me Da Green by Master P

  • @AnklebiterTypeR Thanks!

  • @AnklebiterTypeR I just listened to the Master P version. The one i heard is a little different, and a little faster pace

  • Same and shame with dead silence's theme lol

  • wouldn't mind have some of those flying orbs with the drill, that would keep burglars out of my house,

  • i adore this song it is haunting,chilling,very 70's,epic,catchy,and most of all just the coolest. They dont make themes like these anymore. Awesome film too.

  • The first two movies are just epic. Great great flicks

  • Okay. I see it, I see it all now. What we gotta do is we gotta snag that tall dude and stomp the shit out of him, and we'll find out what the hell is going on up there. Yeah! We lay that sucker out flat and drive a stake right through his Goddamn heart!

    You gotta be shittin' me, man! That mother's STRONG!

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone know were you can get the original themes from movies like this, and Suspiria, Rosemary's Baby and so on in Good quality!? I always wanted all the original themes to some of my favourite old horror movies.

    Thanks

  • Pass me the weed I need song green with my hennessy!

  • Fredric Myrow was the composer, he also did the awesome music for 'Rubin and Ed' (1991) with Crispin Glover. I love his stuff, the slightly cheesy early synthesiser sound is so rad...

  • well it sounds like edward scissor hands' elevator music, but...

  • This song has been used in Entombed's 'Left Hand Path'. Never knew that.

  • (The Groom choses Phantasm theme as wedding music)

    "Now the bride is about to enter the hallway, guys, alright she's in."

    "Aw-oh! She doesn't seem too happy. Okay she's telling the staff to change back the soundtrack to something normal."

    "fat kids in suits that was dragged here with their parents seems to be nerding out for it though." "They sure am, Jim."

    "Hey you notice the groom is holding a silver orb? "

    "Boooooy!!!"

  • i never watched phantasm....i hear this movie gets under your skin like hellraiser does.

  • @chromewells You will never forget the ending...it makes the whole movie,so try to watch the movie without reading any spoilers.

  • Thooonk Aaaaahhhhh You hit my fucking foot

  • @phantasm091 This movie must be coming to life, awesome story:)

  • Still the best horror film score ever.....

  • this movie scared the hell out of me as a kid but i still love it

  • does anyone have the theme that was playing at the bar in Phantasm 1?

  • @phantasm091 Did he say BOYYYYYYY!!!!

  • Why are there 2 dislikes? Phantasm is a great movie, I love all the phantasm movies & The theme song!

  • love this film. the tall man used to give me the creeps when i watched phantasm as a kid. loved when he would shout BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY lol

  • @FleshEatingZombie666 Yeah, I like at the end when he says BOYYYYY! and Mike gets pulled though the mirror! 

  • @phantasm091 No shit?

  • i like the version flesh n bone of bone thugs made better. or used.

  • CREEPY!

  • Left hand path - Entombed!

  • Love The Piano In The BackGround...!

  • Boy.......

  • One of the most wonderful horror movie series ever!

  • The tall man scared the bejesus outta me when I was a kid!

  • tallman ?

    what does he? he kills?

    he´s insane?

  • @lca554 No. He's a being from another dimensoin that takes corpses and makes them into hooded midget slaves ( retarded I know) he also destroys each city he passes through. he uses silver flying balls that have drills, knives lasers etc to kill people.

  • @lca554 but what about pennywise the clown?!!?!?!?!?!

  • @bestfriendx1 Pennywise has got nothing on The Tall Man.

  • mobb deep ....

  • @reedeema what about mobb deep? do they have a track with this beat?

  • @MrJRISDEAD yeah they do ,, i cant remeber the titel of the track , ill try to fing out ..

  • @reedeema i think its called "there that go" look it up it sounds a lot like it!

  • Great theme and a great flick. Hadn't seen it in 15 years but I picked up Phantasm 2 and had no clue what was going on so I rewatched the first, and am finally got around to restarting the 2nd one tonite. Great movie but doesn't have the charm of the first one but still a great flick no matter what A.Michael Baldwin says.

  • 2:35

    zombie sex music

  • Comment removed

  • =)With such a great track, I'll need to watch it and learn

  • BOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!!!!!

  • I'm short,brown and close to the ground

  • Mike was such a cutie in that movie.

  • @cheapcape they were made of dead bodies

  • Mike sees The Tall Man lift casket in binoculars and whispers "What the fuck?"

  • eargasm.

  • One of the best twists in horror movie history.Only the first Friday The 13th had a better twist.

  • @sugreev2001

    out of curiousity, how did the original F13 have a twist?

  • @pdlost991 Seeing a decomposed Jason coming out of the lake to grab Alice and drag her down with her.It turns out to be a nightmare.

  • I love this theme so much that I'd like it played at my wedding!

  • @Pinhead554 . So do I!

  • @Pinhead554 and by the time you say "I do", a pair of hands are going to grab you and drag you away. -cues mystery theme-

    It's a real good piano theme.

  • @Pinhead554 I had it played at mine, that and the Zombi 2 theme too... hehehe

  • I like this track....i have to see more this movie!

  • This movie is so weird. It looks like a B-movie, but it can be really disturbing. Pretty underrated, indeed.

  • @MayasMoviebox Phantasm is awesome becaue it was so far below a b movie it ridiculous. The success was so unexpected. One of my faves of all time! Look up Donn Coscarelli or phantasm & read his comments sometime, awesome!

  • me too! I can watch this movie over and over again and still not get tired of it! I used to work in a Funeral Home so it nothing about death usually scares me but this movie kinda made me jump in a few parts lol and this theme song is awsome :)

  • @funnychic05 I totally agree, I can watch this movie all the time too. It is so good. The soundtrack is fantastic also.

  • BOYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

  • LIKE SILENT HILL LAURA's THEME

  • Be careful what you wish for you might just get it

  • Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave did something nobody else could with this score...they did an imitation of "THE EXORCIST'S" theme, which was very popular, but instead of downright copying it, they wrote something new, original, chilling and completely unforgettable. I wore this track out when I owned it on vinyl back in the day.

  • I love the cuda!! Great movie if you are a horror buff. It keeps you thinking and wondering every town they enter!

  • totally awesome. one of my favorite movies of all tmies!!1

  • My brother met Angus Grimm at the Comic-Con a few years back, he asked him if he could say something for him and before he even said what it was Angus said "BOOOOOYYYYY"....

  • BOY!!!!!! My brother used to scare me by repeating those words of "The Tall Man."

  • Never seen this but i like the theme whats the movie about

  • @MechaDestoroyah8 From IMDB: "A young boy and his friends face off against a mysterious grave robber known only as the Tall Man, who keeps a mysterious arsenal of terrible weapons with him."

    Just watch it, I don't think you will be disappointed. It's my favorite horror movie of all time :)

  • they just don't make em like this anymore

  • Iconic!!!!!

  • "we're hot as love"

    this movie is so great.

  • This movie was verrry odd. Oh, I adored it, but afterward i had to think long and hard about its true message. If there was one.

    The music is captivating.
