Review of Phantasm (1979) by Michael L — 11 Dec 2016

I haven't seen the remaster but I saw the original as a teen at the drive-in and it had me freaked out for weeks. It definitely stood out among all the campy horror flicks of the time. Maybe the most dramatic thing that stays with me about the film was driving home well after midnight and seeing a car in the ditch on a lonely road.

Yeah, we stopped to make sure no one was injured in the car but we were both a little freaked out to look into the car lest it was filled with dwarfs!
