I like how they use tons of unused footage from the first film

It was such an effective use of the footage. Sometimes when a film does something like this, it's for padding due to the story being weak. This use added to the story. I love ending, open and yet still final in a Phantasm way.

Tormented (1960)  A very under-rated ghost story, in my humble opinion...

Well, the ghost was the outrageously hot Juli Reding...........



After her, not much else to recommend this one. But she's enough!!  :D

Phantom Stranger

1)"The Smiling Ghost" (1941)
                             -Wayne Morris

Plot: IMDB
Elinor Bentley Fairchild's previous three grooms-to-be have either died or been maimed. Her aunt hires Lucky Downing to become engaged to her for a month to break the curse. But Lucky becomes a target of what appears to be the ghost of one of the former fiances.

Phantom's Review: Light hearted mystery suspense film, done in the style of Bob Hope's "Ghost Breakers". Decent little film if you can get past the heavily racist humor provided by the hero's sidekick. It's an okay film, nothing great but I've seen far worse.

2) "Creature From The Black Lagoon"
Classic from beginning to end. I love this movie.

  yeah, the original is a hoot! Love Linnea Quigley's opening scene  ;)   haven't seen the remake....

Linnea Quigley has a cameo in it, she looks good - they even have her flash her unmentionables early in the film.
The original was basic, minimalist, it was trying to be an entertaining spook story.
The remake has more back story and the demons (especially Angela the one you want to be done right) weren't as effective as the movie makers thought they were.

The last movies i bought were comedys, one of them was SuperHero themed called 'The Duo' - i hate to say anything bad but they may as well have called it ' The Pooo-o ', it was so bad i couldn't finnish it.

- Dracula vs. Frankenstien on Dr. Destruction's Crimson Theater (I love this guy's show...I have a copule of his shows. The movie was straight cheese)

- Horror of he Zombies on Midnite Mausoleum (part of the Blind Dead series. It was OK. The first one was better)
"For one who has lived but a single lifetime, you are a wise man ...Van Helsing."
"I shall awaken memories of love and crime and death..."

the original Phantasm was almost or right at 5 hours long or something like that. Then they removed a bunch of things from it and eventually used it in Part 4. And your right it is an effective way used by the crew working on the film.

Phantom Stranger

"The Cosmic Monster" (AKA "The Strange World Of Planet X"1958)
                                                  -Forrest Tucker
Plot: IMDB
At a small, rural British lab, monomaniac Dr. Laird and his staff create ultra-intense

magnetic fields. Inexplicably, the apparatus seems to be affecting distant objects, and to be drawing "extra power" from...somewhere. One night, after a "freak" storm, strange and deadly things start happening in Bryerly Woods, and a strange man from "a long way off" appears in the district...concerned about Laird's pulling down disaster from the skies.

Phantom's Review: Dull little Sci-Fi film. Too much talk, too little action. The monster FX are just extreme close ups of insects. Not worth the effort
