Black Market and I are taking on the Tall Man this year.
I was speechless the first time I watched Phantasm. I hold this film near and dear to my heart. I love this movie so much. It's had a huge impact on me musically. It's independent film making at its finest! Thank you, Don Coscarelli, for introducing us all to the Tall Man. He is one of the all time greats.
This Phantasm Remix album is a celebration of Angus Scrimm and everyone that put so much work into making Phantasm so special.
"Dear Don,
If Phantasm achieves the distribution we hope for, one of the fascinating prospects is that inevitably, the way things fall out statistically, a sizable portion of the young among your worldwide audience will be seeing a horror film for the first time.
Thus, your Phantasm will forever be the archetype of horror that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. The original by which they measure every subsequent exposure to the horror genre, as "Dracula" and "Frankenstein" were to my generation.
The Tall Man will be their Karloff and Lugosi, all their nameless nightmares of dreaded evil at last embodied, etched in the amber of their consciousness for as long as they each shall live. I'm glad he's Angus Scrimm and not me. "

We love you Angus! Thanks for all the scares.
"BOYYY!!!"
