Before Phantasm Ravager there was talk of a very different Fifth Phantasm Film: a script by Stephen Romano that A. Michael Baldwin described as ‘the thinking man’s Phantasm’. Joining me to discuss all things ‘Phantasm Forever’ is filmmaker and superphan, Ian Jones!

Welcome back to Morningside FM! I'm kicking off season 2 with my most exciting guest yet - the Lady in Lavender herself, Kat Lester!

Check out her music here - https://open.spotify.com/album/36yjJpBKfhlnOTF2ZulKEL

Like so many others, I first discovered Phantasm by renting it on video. In this latest episode of Morningside FM, I sat down with Nick Box from Dead Format Cult Film Store & Retro Video Shop to talk about the golden age of VHS rentals, horror, and Phantasm! When he's not peddling dead formats, Nick is also an award-winning filmmaker https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4086158/

As a Halloween bonus, I've recorded a mini episode in which I consider Don Coascarelli's second film, Kenny & Company (1976) as a forerunner to Phantasm! Happy Halloween! Be especially careful of candy apples and popcorn balls...

Author Dustin McNeill joins me to talk about his unauthorized companion books: 'Phantasm Exhumed' and 'Further Exhumed: The Strange Case of Phantasm Ravager'. You can buy Dustin's books here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dustin-McNeill/e/B00JUL1EBY%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share and don't forget to check out his Phantasm site here: http://phantasmarchives.blogspot.com/

In a Morningside FM first, I chat to a crewmember from the original Phantasm! Roberto A. Quezada had so many roles on the film: second assistant cameraman, gaffer, location scout, and eventually assistant editor, that he was given that he was dubbed Phantasm's 'visual consultant' by Don Coscarelli and Paul Pepperman. Check out Roberto's photography at https://www.dardonphoto.com/

Phantasm doesn't have ordinary fans, it has 'phans'. Passionate, creative, sphere-tattooed, die-hard phans. I spoke to the woman whom Dac Coscarelli once declared to be "Phantasm's number one fan" - Kristen Deem herself - about why this franchise inspires such devotion and dedication in its followers, and about her strange journey through the spacegate from the world of phantom and into the Phantasm Phamily itself. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0214309/
