Now, writer-director Don Coscarellis terror classic has been gifted a new, J.J. Abrams-overseen 4K restoration, a new name (Phantasm: Remastered),anda new promo clip to (hopefully) once again terrorize the young and impressionable.
BothPhantasm: Remasteredand the new, fifth film in the franchise,Phantasm: Ravager, will be released on VOD and via Digital HD Oct. 4 and in cinemas, Oct. 7. it’s possible for you to see the trailer forPhantasm: Remastered, above.
