Phantasm
"Tall Man: The funeral is about to begin. Sir."
 * The first scene of the movie opens with a man and a woman having sex at the cemetery. Once finished, the Woman then stabs the man to death with a dagger. Not too long after in the blink of an eye she turns into the Tall Man. Setting the mood for the over all series.
 * The entire funeral scene at Morningside Mortuary. While the funeral itself is a tearjerker for those that attend. Specifically Reggie and Jody, as the person who was killed was a friend and bandmate of theirs named Tommy. However it doesn't shy away from the creepy moments. While Jody waits for the funeral to begin, he checks on the crypts of his parents. He notices something moving past him before The Tall Man scares the hell out of him by sneaking up on him. He was only informing Jody of the funeral starting, but his sudden appearance, scary voice and him grabbing Jody is enough to scare anyone.


 * Mike crashes the funeral while riding on his dirt bike through the cemetery. He keeps a distance so that Jody and Reggie don't see him, while spying on them. After the funeral ends and everyone leaves, Mike watches in horror, as he witnesses the Tall Man pick up the heavy casket along with Tommy's Corpse in one arm. As if that wasn't unpleasant enough, he notices something was watching him from behind one of the large head stones.
 * Mike follows Jody at a bar, where his older brother catches the eye of a lady in a lavender dress interested in him. Said lady happens to be the same woman that killed his friend, but neither Mike nor Jody know that. Mike follows them to the cemetery where Jody and the lady get started. While Mike spies he is scared by a small shadow in the woods, causing him to scream and run past the two. While that shadow alone was scary on it's own, Mike inadvertently saved Jody's life. While he was irritated at his little brother, spying and cock blocking him, had he not stopped and went after Mike, the Lady in Lavender would have killed him like she did Tommy.
 * Mike visits a fortune teller and her granddaughter, to talk about what he saw at Tommy's funeral. The atmosphere is creepy enough as the teller just sits there with a blank grin on her face, while her granddaughter speaks for her. After hearing his story, the Fortune Teller makes a black box appear on the table and through the granddaughter tells mike to stick his hand inside it. The box traps his hand causing it pain as he struggles to get it out. The granddaughter telling him "Don't fear." When Mike calms down, the box lets his hand go and it doesn't have a scratch on it. The granddaughter tells him, that this was a test, informing him that fear is what will kill him rather than anything else and that the pain he felt was all in his head. Mike pays the Fortune Teller, placing cash on the box. The box then disappears with the cash. When Mike leaves, the Fortune Teller then just breaks into creepy laughter.
