The Tall Man character is one of the greatest villains in the horror genre. I'm glad they recently finished one last Phantasm movie entitled "Ravager" with Angus. It is scheduled to be released later this year.

He had a cameo role in "John Dies At The End" too. I've seen him in several movies over the years but every time I saw him I always thought of "The Tall Man".

RIP Tall Man.

That's a bummer. Phantasm was never my favorite franchise but Tall Man is an icon. R.I.P.

He'll forever be remembered as The Tall Man. An iconic character.

The Grim Reaper's been on a roll lately, this is ridiculous.

R.I.P., Angus. Here's to hoping Phantasm V sees the light of day.

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. It's like the Reaper is making up for lost time.

RIP. Btw, Angus Scrimm is a seriously bad ass name. Sounds like someone you don't mess with.

He looked that way too. Even in his advanced years he still looked like a former Mafia boss you didn't want to mess with.

That cameo in John Dies At The End is a good example.

That was great. Brought back so many memories.

I couldn't believe what I was watching the first time I saw Phantasm. It's part horror movie and part science fiction; I'd never seen anything quite like it. And there's so much going on. After the first 2 entries in the franchise it got pretty lame but those first two are gold in my book.

I missed this one. I remember those movies, they were my first horror movies.
