Creepy as hell! Scared the crap out of me when I first saw it, later in life it was so bad I laughed through the whole thing. I guess I'm jaded...

It's funny, when I worked at Sam Goody Music in 1989. This guy kept coming in to rent movies. I couldn't figure out when I have seen him before. I thought he was either the dad in "Mork and Mindy" or the guy from Phantasm. We didn't have Phatasm in our store, so I had to go to an older video store that had it. I checked the cast list and sure enough, the name from the rental account matched the name on the box, Reginald Banister.

The next time he came in, I asked him how the movie he was returning was. He said it was O.K. I then said, "If you want an Oscar worthy film that for some reason was overlooked by the academy, may I suggest "Phantasm". He looked at me and started laughing.
