  • I saw this back in the 80's and laughed my heiney off!

  • long live the tall man!!!

  • "The funeral is abount to begin..."

    "play a good game, boy, now YOU DIIE!"

    man, Tall man is amazing

  • Well this movie was made in 79...Not many movies back then weren't cheesy, with crappy effects, well compared to what we have now. But it don't matter, i love all the Phantasm movies :) hate on, haters!

  • Comment removed

  • Umm...after watching this clip, I am trying to remember why this movie scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. Why is it when the ball starts drilling for blood, the only thing I can think is, "Hey Kool Aid!"

    Never mind the Chinese Hot Mustard that sprays all over the walls when the boy cuts his fingers off.

    Thank God I resisted the temptation to buy this DVD. It seems kinda silly now.

  • It scared the hell outta everyone when they were kids, but obviously wont do now. You are just judging this now against the latest horror films, which is wrong. This films is still one of the best of its genre and is excellently fimed/scripted. Coscarelli is a genius, one day you may realise this

  • Usta have Phantasm 1, 2, 3 and 4, but had to get rid, but will get again as i miss them, not to be missed for creepy splat fans

  • never saw this movie but saw previews of it when i was like 5 and i was always scared of those flying razor balls. finally watched this clip and i'm just laughing at the absolute cheese of it all. basically fruit fucker, but for your face.

  • Gotta love the gurgling as it totally empties him...then he pees himself. And since when did Burger King begin making fake blood?!

  • why does the Tall e

  • i love this movie! i went to see it when it opened and it blew my mind like some good ganja!!!!!! i love the flying spheres! they were raw as fuck

  • hahahahhaha..his hand

  • Favrote movie ever.

  • I must goto Home Depo and get me one or two of those flying drill balls , Hella Awesome , this movie is by far the bizzarest & Creepiest ever made I think...

  • it hurts

  • "thats one strong mother"

    check out all the phantasm movies on my youtube channel!

  • That is the funniest and most vomit-inducing death I have ever seen. The look on his face says it all as it smacks into his face.

  • Most vomit-inducing, huh? I take it you've never seen Puppet Master?

    LOL

  • I'm pleased to say I haven't...0_e

  • another one of horrors most legendary sentences: ´´you play a good game boy, now you die!´´

  • I hope this series stays untouched by all the remake bullshit going on today. Don, keep a tight grip on this one, and for god sakes, make phantasm 5!!

  • man this guy kicks ass

  • Yellow French Mustard Brand Blood!!!!LOL

    I would like to see the freaky scene where the kid picks up a finger a souvenir knowing that it was still moving, which eventually it mutated and became crazy muppet killer bee. That scene was hilarious. I can't still remember the face of that crazy killer bee. LOL

  • He pissed himself i think...

  • epic piss even.

    Thank goodness. I thought I was the only one who saw that. Got me a bit worried.

  • It would bother me if some old man got some flying balls stuck to my fourhead and sucked out all my fluids.

  • i want sentinel spheres for my house :)

  • Its clones !!!!!

    After the alien took over Jebediah Morningside body . It made clones of its self. This explains why for example . tall man dies in phantasm 2. shows beginning phantasm 3 comes through gate brand new and throws dead tall man body through the gate.....

  • Good... But don't discard the dimension idea. Jebediah might've discovered its secrets in the 1800's and used it to his purposes, so he'd be able to even predict what would happen to him in a given dimension.

  • But if the tall man that got blowed up with teh car was the same exact tall man coming through the gate he would have looked straight forward no slight eye movment left and right  as if looking to say where is that boy....

    he would have known he would be straight in front...... This lead me to draw out the conclusion of why the tall man can die.and then he comes back out of the gate and his body is laying dead on the floor like phantasm 2

  • Heres some secrets of the tall man . most people think what in the hell is he. well in the first movie mike says they are crushing humans down into the dwarfs because of the gravity on their planet. I believe were his words or pretty close to it

    this lets us know the tall man is an alien ......

    second on phantasm 4 after mike blows up tall man. and another tall man comes through the gate. notice his eyes. tall man eyes go slightly left and right as if to say where is that boy.....

  • Awesome!!! Have to watch these movies :D

  • They jus dont make movies like these nowadays. thats why i watch films mostly from the 50s-late80-s into early 90's

  • Yellow blooded Alien how interesting.

  • I still respect the cryptkeeper as an horror icon,plus it doesn't have to really do with the movies as well as does his show tales from the crypt,both clips either or would be great,anyways let's hope they make a part 2,so who else would like to see in the next one?hm damien sounds like another good choice.

  • ha i remember this movie,it was the boogeymen complitation or something like that,I remeber getting ticked off that didn't have the cryptkeeper or hannibal lector,but other than that it's great,tho. some I do think didn't belonged there like the fisherman ,ghostface and jack frost.

  • I had it to, I was a little disappointed it only realeased one volume I wished they had just made more volumes and added all the rest. That would have been awesome...Crykeeper wasnt really in the movies even though they made Demon Knight and Bordello of blood

  • Does any body know the name of piano verson the this song in the begining

  • Omg!!! I've seen that horror movie collection!

    What's that compilation called?

    It has a fuckload of different killers from horror movies.

  • That dude got fucking PWNT.

  • (This Is My First Youtube Comment)

    The Tall always had Laughing when he says "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY"

  • the bit where the ball goes into his head is SICK!!!!!

  • BBOYY!!!

  • Yeah I watched this at the Drive-in theater when I was 6 in 79 and was traumatized....

  • Weird, I didn't know the orb had a built-in juicer. That could come in handy.

  • Love when he gets chased. Hilarious

  • My favorite part "Umm, oh sh*t!" Took the words right out of my mouth.

  • what show is this from? I want to see it! ^^

  • Its from the first Phantasm movie.

  • I know it's from the Phantasm movie, I'm talking about the show that had this clip.

  • It's from Boogeymen: The Killer Compilation (2001). It's a great DVD. Shows a bunch of clips of horror icons.

  • yummy hot mustard sauce!!!!!!!!!

  • "eeeeeemmmm...

    oh shit..."

  • This guy is better than Jason, Freddy, and Myers combined. Here's why. When they all die, the tall man will make them all his bitches!

  • what about pinhead?

  • He'll make pinhead his sex slave. Because the tall man is badass.

  • the place reminds me of the shining

  • It may be it's uncanny aesthetic. There's tons of books and writings on the affect uncanniness has on you.

  • ok.. anyone else think zombie dwarves sounds funny??

  • it was 1979. nuff said

  • Its not Mustard its his Re animation juice he fills bodies with to re animate them

  • The guy who gets killed by the ball thing pisses himself after he dies.

  • Everybody fucking pisses themselves when they die.

  • Unless you got none left, because you were pissing yourself BEFORE you died.

  • Recentry in Japan we can't watch movies of this kind on TV because of the cruelty .

  • I love this! Too bad that horrors of 2000s ussually aren't scary!

  • ummmmm oh s***

  • what was scary was how fast the tall man ran

  • woot for the sentinels

  • Comment removed

  • ha... i shit mnyself. and what was that coming out of the dudes fingers?

  • his blood. the tall man isn't human.

  • no shit Sherlock....

  • no shit

  • FUCKING HELL

  • lots of blood lol

  • "Booooyyyyy!" lol. Thats always creepy when he says it. lol. I like him tho and as for being tall, I believe IMDB stats he is 6'4 but in the Phantasm movies wears big boots that make him about 6'8-6'10

  • Cheesy and kind of eerie at the same time .__. Those sphere things terrify me!

  • _____Heck yeah, I'd agree to that! The thing about those spheres, the Tall Man and that whole business with the dwarves is that they're just so mysterious. They're mysterious because we don't know where they really come from. And because we don't know where they come from, THAT is what is so freaky about those movies. These days, Hollywood will just plunk out a bunch of crappy movies with human psychopaths and call that "horror." What a load of crap; psycopaths are not scary. Monsters are.

  • UMMMMMMMMM

  • Cerebral Bore ftw

  • lol

  • thats pee bro

  • Coming out of his fingers? lol

  • Its pee, and its not coming out of his fingers...Why would he be bleeding from his fingers..?

  • how tall is the tall man

  • tall

  • I think it said 6 foot 4

  • This movie is one of the best horror movies!

  • Does anyone remembers The Wish Master? The first 2 sequels are not bad... How about The Dolls? An old couple living in a house of dolls which are actually alive...

  • Yeah. I know of those movies. Charles Band made Dolls before Puppet Master. Wish Master was okay, and the Phantasm movies are great. Can you get Phantasm comics or side novels?

  • Wishmaster was good, that was wes craven right? I cant say whether it was that good though coz i havnt seen em since i was a kid

  • Phantasm is a pretty damn good film. Sure, it's cheesy but what horror movie isn't? If you can look past the cheese factor, there are some pretty cool suspense sequences, great soundtrack, and pretty funny lines. I don't think the directors intended on outdoing Citizen Kane, so stop trying to analyze it to the core and just enjoy it for what it is!

  • Cheesy? Hell, this was awesome for it's time (1979). BOOOOY!

  • >>>hell yeah!

    Awesome movie, creative scenes and for its budget, great actors and special effects for the time. I love the tall man walking scene in the town...that kinda cinematography you still see to this day

  • I'll always love the part where he slices the Tall Man's finger!

  • BOOOOOOOOY!!!!!!!!....

  • High Scool Musical......LOL...Yes I totally agree the series WAS Bad, but the initial film was creepy....I was like 14 years old and saw it twice at the drive in...... It was a good/ NOT GREAT film.........Cheesy but fun, scary, underproduced, tacky, Fun.....I think I saw pt. 2 but never looked any further..........The only bad ones I can think of are "DEATH WISH"-And "RAMBO"

    OH yes! Let us not forget the JAWS series........1st one CLASSIC/ the rest CRAP!...Cheers Friend.......

  • Firstly, those are not holes in the plot. Or Anything to DO with the Plot whatsoever. Secondly, you are correct about the "Continuity" problem regarding the "Missing" blood from the Bore. But, As for the Yellow "Blood" From The Tall Man's hand.He is NOT HUMAN.Therefore he is not required to display the usual Red pigment normally associated with "Blood" Lastly/ The movie may "Look ShitHouse" to you, but in the day this was Scary stuff. Hell, it spawned what? Three sequels?

  • oh yeah another 'continuity' problem

    At 3.00 minutes the door is seen fully closed as the boy boards the door, there is no sign of any hand stuck in the crack. However at 3:05 minutes the hand is seen crushed in the metal door, so i figure cuz this old fucker has yellow blood he did an elastic man trick from the fantasic four.

    oh yeah btw just because three other movies spawned from it doesnt make the series good. Maniac cop & high school musical are perfect examples of bad trilogies.

  • that yellow blood is plasma it keeps the blood together.

  • I always thought the yellow blood was embalming fluid.

  • it would have been so much easier if they just made it red, so everyone would know what it was!!! It looks like mustard.

  • Keep in mind that this was an independent film with a very small budget. Don Coscarelli had to get financing from his father, his mother handled wardrobe as well as some special FX, and cast friends and family in some of the small roles. You have to be inventive with what little money you have, so don't go expectin LOTR caliber special effects.

  • He was the scariest of all the killers. With those balls boring in your skull.

  • these movies were honestly the only movies that scared me

  • one of my favs

  • But what about the ice cream?

  • Originally the Tall Man was supposed to be defeated by being sprayed from a Fire Extinguisher. This would explain the Ice Cream scene.

    But, if I'm not mistaken, the later films DO establish cold as his weak point.

  • Are the walls at 1:11 marbal?

  • I love this movie, I totally forgot what it was about, all I remember was the little flying balls!

  • Shit the guy pissed himself

  • There need to be a V, to close the door and finish the story once in for all, IV really left me hanging. All I wanna know is how Ol Talley became Evil? I know he made the dimensional door back in looks like the 1800's, and in that scene where T.M walk through the Portal and Jodie says, "the real Morningside never comes back". So there is a need for 1 more.

  • dont forget 2 that gold ball was epic!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i remember watching this with my dad when i was like 5 or 6 :( poor dad shame he had to die...

  • im sorry....

  • hehehe the sphere thingy was peeing out the guys blood

  • mann bad ass beat

  • very nice

  • Its so funny in the start "You play a good gameboy. Now you die." I know he doesnt say that nut still pretty funny.

  • BAT FOR LASHES  WHAT'S a girl to do

  • these series owes me a sequal. the final one left you on a clif hanger, where the lead character got taken away from the tall man. we didnt even know what happen to him..

  • my favourite horror movie

  • he says play the game boy! referring to the young boy playing his sadistic survival game egglesplork

  • "UUUUUUUUMMM.... Oh shit."

  • I believe the line was "You play a good game boy". "Game" and "boy" are two separate words here.

  • this is from the boogeyman the killer compi;lation dvd i rented it a while back

    gotta love that chase man way to fail to outrun an old guy

  • A classic imo

  • It's my dad!

  • Sick music

  • the music is epic. Phantasm FTW

  • Dude, what about the scene where he carries the coffin single-handedly. fucking creepy.

  • Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm, SHIT happens

  • Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. Off to the Races

  • LOL.....I'd be dropping deuces if he was right behind me.

  • UMMMMMMMMMM Suck SATAN'S COCK tall man

  • GTA DEAD

  • lol i have taxes even more tall than his dick lol

  • So he bleeds mustard?

  • lol yea and fatty bleeds ketchup, i want a BBQ party now wannna come? lmao

  • fuck you for ruinning the movie asshole

  • he pees on himself.

  • no, the reanimated people that work for the Tall Man have embalming fluid in them instead of blood.

  • well, mostly embalming fluid. that guy bled normal blood and the chemical. obviously a blooper of sorts.

  • "You play a good a game boy, Now you Die" sounds like Richard Nixon

  • lol

  • wow, that's really sad how that young boy couldn't run faster from the old tall guy, i mean seriously, he's REALLY gotta be out of shape...

  • Well, he's supposed to be like a demon in this movie, or something... Might have supernatural speed, I dunno.

  • or maybe it could be that the tall man has long legs since he's well...tall.

  • i like that 1 better

  • There's a question. I'm pretty sure a tall sixty year old without joint problems and who's in good health can run down and murder a scrawny 12 year old, but we'll never know till we try...

    At any rate, SUPER SPOILERS!

    (The Tall Man is an alien and he's ridiculously strong. Yep.)

  • eww he peepee himself

  • im just a BOYY!....ya watching this at a BOYY! but it was my favirot horror in the worldi love this movie

  • Man this dude scared the hell out of me when I watched it for the first time!!! lol

  • phantasm is one of my favorites

  • Yeah make that old man run and see if he can take it!

  • That's a very girly guy.

  • the cerebral bore!

  • Wow, it appears that his blood is made of boiled egg yolk XD

  • at 2:04 is that his pee?? O_o

  • Yes it is, the movie was almost rated X because of that but the director I believe called someone on the ratings board, who was his friend, to get it approved.

  • Damn, I'd love to have one of those spheres.

  • "You play a good game, boy! Now you die!" What a classic line

  • Oh man what a blast from the past. This movie scared the hell out of me when it first came out, there was so much imaginative gross out effects for the time. And that creepy omnipresent high pitched electronic hum over the soundtrack! Really added to the tense nature. This was a lot of fun. All these years later, who can forget those "juicers" punching into people's craniums & spitting their brains out? The urine leaking out of the twitching pants was an added touch, very sick for the time.

  • i seriously laughed out loud when the guy got hit by the sphere thing... and when the little boy cut the guys fingers off...

  • BOY! come here! I remember this one.

  • i think this film is one of last great horror movies to come out of america it's a shame they don't make them like that any more

  • the tall man is behind you.....and your GOING to die.

  • that fucker scares me

  • that fucker scares me

  • the guy pissed his self!!!!

  • LMAO. Just after he dies, looks like he pissed himself. Did you know that sphere was the inspiration for the cerebral bore in Turok 2?

  • i know the song at the beginning is phantasm maint titles. does anyone know the sng when describinh the othr killers?

  • if they make a remake of this movie, i hope it's like how they remade "Funny Games", where everything was nearly exactly the same as the original

  • Lets hope they don't remake it.
