Terrifying Trailers! – PHANTASM (1979)

Going into its initial release in the spring of 1979, PHANTASM had a lot of strikes against it. Not only was it low-budget, it was also shot, directed, edited, and written by a young, yet unheard-of filmmaker by the name of Don Conscarelli. However, the film’s startling imagery and bizarre mix of science fiction, fantasy, and horror landed it in the annals of genre filmmaking, and in the process inspired a franchise that spanned nearly 40 years. Here’s where it all started, folks.
