PHANTASM TRIVIA

Doubles were used for when the Lady In Lavender was topless and Jody's butt was shown.

At Tommy's funeral, the Priest's voice was actually Angus Scrimm's voice; His voice was dubbed.

After Tommy's funeral, when Jody & Reggie are leaving and Jody says "This Place Gives Me The Creeps", you can briefly see The Tall Man striding along the lawn in the background.

In the Procession scene, look for The Tall Man sitting near Reggie.

After the Mortuary Helper is killed by the Silver Sphere, he urinates after dying and there is a surprisingly large amount of urine. This scene is only really noticeable on the Remastered VHS and DVD and is very hard to spot on the original video.

Reggie's Ice Cream truck is actually a Dairy Queen truck disguised as Reggie's Ice Cream. Look at the Ice Cream store's windows.

The Dwarves were played by Kids that were Don Coscarelli's Neighbors.

In the scene where Mike tumbles through the Spacegate and we see the Dwarves on The Red Planet, some of the Dwarves are actually cardboard cutouts.

Willard Green, who constructed and created the Silver Sphere, mysteriously passed away shortly before Philming for Phantasm was completed. He sadly never got to see the Sphere scene that is loved by so many Phans worldwide :'-(

The Insect Creature originally was going to be constructed with the help of an Entymologist, but eventually the Insect was purhchased from a store.
