'''''Phantasm''''' is a series of horror films written and directed by Don Coscarelli (''[[The Beastmaster (Film)|The Beastmaster]]'', ''[[Bubba Ho Tep (Film)|Bubba Ho Tep]]'').
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
It is fair to say that the rules of [[Rule of Cool|cool]] and [[Rule of Scary|scary]] are the guiding principles of the series. [[Bellisarios Maxim|Bellisario's Maxim]] probably applies. While a coherent plot would have been nice, the films are entertaining enough and brimming with such memorable horrors - the [[Was Once a Man|ex-human]] lurkers, the brain-drilling flying spheres, Angus Scrimm playing the magnificently frightening Tall Man himself - that it hardly matters.
