Reggie, who witnesses the finger-turned-insect attack them, joins the brothers in their suspicions. Jody decides to bring the finger to the sheriff, but it transforms into a flying insect. The still-moving finger is enough to convince Jody about Mike's stories. Taking one of the fingers with him, Mike escapes the mausoleum. As Mike slams a door to get away, the Tall Man's fingers get caught and then cut off, but continue to move, dripping yellow ichor. He is accosted by a caretaker but escapes after the sphere impales itself on the caretaker's skull and drills into his brain. At the mausoleum, Mike narrowly avoids a bladed silver sphere flying through the air.
Mike tries to tell Jody about the hooded figure, but Jody dismisses the story. However, they are interrupted by Mike, who has been following Jody and has been driven out of his hiding place by a short, hooded figure. Later, Jody is seduced by the Lady in Lavender and taken to the cemetery to have sex.
Jody's 13-year-old brother Mike secretly observes the funeral and sees the Tall Man placing Tommy's heavy casket, seemingly with little or no effort, back into the hearse instead of completing the burial. At the funeral, Tommy's friends, Jody and Reggie, believe he committed suicide. While engaging in sexual intercourse in Morningside Cemetery, Tommy is stabbed by the Lady in Lavender (actually the Tall Man, the Morningside mortician, in another form). It was followed by four sequels: Phantasm II (1988), Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994), Phantasm IV: Oblivion (1998) and Phantasm: Ravager (2016). It has appeared on several critics' lists of best horror films, and it has been cited as an influence on later horror series. Though initial reviews were mixed in regard to the dreamlike, surreal narrative and imagery, later reception was more positive and the film became a cult classic. Phantasm was a locally financed independent film the cast and crew were mostly amateurs and aspiring professionals. He is opposed by a young boy, Mike ( Michael Baldwin), who tries to convince his older brother Jody (Bill Thornbury) and family friend Reggie ( Reggie Bannister) of the threat. The first film in the Phantasm franchise, it introduces the Tall Man ( Angus Scrimm), a supernatural and malevolent undertaker who turns the dead of Earth into dwarf zombies to be sent to his planet and used as slaves. Phantasm is a 1979 American science fantasy horror film that was directed, written, photographed, and edited by Don Coscarelli.
