March 28th marked the 40th anniversary of Don Coscarelli's classic horror film Phantasm, and to celebrate four decades of The Tall Man and deadly sentinel spheres, Well Go USA Entertainment will release a Blu-ray set of the complete film series this fall with a new 4K restoration of Phantasm II and a full-scale replica of the Sentinel Sphere.
Press Release: To coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the horror classic Phantasm, director Don Coscarelli is announcing today that distributor Well Go USA Entertainment will release this Fall a new Limited Collectors Edition Blu-ray set of the complete Phantasm film series, which will include an officially authorized, full-scale replica of the original Phantasm killer sphere prop.
Fans have been clamoring for another Blu-ray box set, since the previous box set sold out instantly and many were left empty-handed.
The "Phantasm Sphere Collection," in addition to all the Phantasm films and previous supplemental materials, will be packed with new extras. The centerpiece will be a meticulous 4K restoration of 1988's Phantasm II, personally supervised by Coscarelli. Other phantastic extras include a newly-created Dolby Atmos track of the original Phantasm (by Post Haste Digital) and a new, longer feature-length documentary on the making of Phantasm: Ravager, with more to come.
The Phantasm Sphere Collection will be flying into stores this Halloween season.
