When Angus Scrimm passed away at the age of 89 the world of horror changed. Fortunately for us, the actor was able to film one last turn as Phantasm’s iconic Tall Man.
The fifth and final film in Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm series has its premiere at Fantastic Fest later this week, then it hits digital HD and VOD on October 4—along with a sparklingly restored version of the 1979 original, retitled Phantasm: Remastered. A limited theatrical release will follow on October 7, since everything is way scarier on the big screen.
Joining the late Scrimm in Ravager, co-written by Coscarelli and directed by David Hartman, are original Phantasm stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury, and Reggie Bannister.
