So I just watched Phantasm, and enjoyed it.
But while the Tall Man goes about his business I was thinking this film doesn't make much sense.
Is Jody dead? Did the Tall Man kill him or was it really a car crash?
Why is Reggie alive? Did any of the actual main film happen?
Or do I need to watch 2,3 & 4 to get a better understanding?

At least watch part 2, it's the best one. At least, I think it is. Though I don't really remember if it really makes sense of things at all. I think it might, unless it just makes things worse. Well, watch it either way.  |

I love Phantasm.
All the scenes in the morgue are insanely cool.

I agree with the above, watch the second one, but dont wish for clarity. I'm still trying to puzzle this series out.

I say watch part 2. No, it doesn't explain things, but I thought it was a lot of fun. {Spoiler}Except that Reg goes through all the trouble to make that four barreled shotgun, fires it once and then THOWS IT AWAY!!! |

Phantasm 2 is the only sequel worth watching
3 is just stupid with it's "three Stooges" & "Home Alone" stuff (Not a Joke)
4 is just a movie made out of deleted scenes, And it explains nothing except how Jebediah Morningside becomes Tall Man (To a degree)

Love part 2, even though I don't get how the Tall Man can wipe out entire towns and only Mike and Reg seem to notice.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with part 3. It's only fault is in it's existence. |

Me too. I mean part 4 is a little meal piece, but given their incredibly small budget it had little choice to be that shoestring. |

Well I don't have the sequels on dvd, so I shall go with the theory the Tall Man got both brothers and Reggie continued his life as an Ice Cream man.
