Synopsis

IT'S A STORY OF BLOOD, SWEAT AND SPHERES!
The fifth and final PHANTASM took an incredible eight years to go from set to screen. The project began as an experimental short before becoming a thirteen part web series and finally a feature length sequel. Shot in secret on a microbudget, RAVAGER reunites PHANTASM 's core cast thirty-five years after the original cult classic. The new sequel filmed not in Hollywood soundstages but in the homes of cast and crew. Visual effects were handled mostly by the director. Decades-old props were taken out of storage and dusted off for reuse. They just don't make movies like this anymore. In fact, they never really did to begin with. Such is THE STRANGE CASE OF PHANTASM RAVAGER!

  • - A thorough chronicle of the journey from web series to feature film 
  • - Analysis of unproduced scripts by Roger Avary and Stephen Romano

    About the Author

    Dustin McNeill has been lurking behind the scenes of PHANTASM since 2007, the year in which he launched the popular PHANTASM ARCHIVES website. In 2009 he penned the cover article for HORRORHOUND #17. This issue, containing his 30th Anniversary PHANTASM retrospective, quickly sold out all copies. In 2012 McNeill helped coordinate supplemental features for Scream Factory's PHANTASM II Blu-ray release and served as a consultant for THE BALL IS BACK documentary. In 2014, he published the PHANTASM EXHUMED companion book which featured an introduction by ANGUS SCRIMM. This exhaustively researched tome became a key resource for the teams behind PHANTASM’s 2016 Blu-ray boxsets and was even mentioned in Arrow Video’s PHANZINE companion. FURTHER EXHUMED is Dustin McNeill’s third book.
