Remember when I was telling you all about the Phantasm webseries that might possibly have been in the works?  Well, this next bit isn’t about confirming or denying same, but what we’ve got here is a bit of news on a possible remake.  Or even possible sequel.

Director Don Coscarelli, an affirmed Master of Horror based on the short-lived Showtime series of the same name, had this to say:

“It’s something we’ve talked about through the years but the timing hasn’t worked out or getting the finances exactly right. I’ve been cooking up a couple of incarnations of things that I can’t talk about now but hopefully in the near future we could get something in the “Phantasm” world happening.”

Frankly, they could use it.  The fourth installation was a joke that was made up of mostly clips from the earlier titles.  We’re all dying to see The Tall Man get his in the end because he’s had THREE MOVIES to run amok and turn America into a gigantic cenotaph.  I’m eagerly awaiting this one, and hope they can find some financing even in these slim times.
