Writer/director Don Coscarelli reunites A. Michael Baldwin, Reggie Bannister, Bill Thornbury and Angus Scrimm for the final shocking chapter of the most unique series in horror movie history! As The Tall Man’s unholy harvest reaches its crescendo, Mike, Reggie and Jody will converge across portals of time and dimensions of the undead to uncover his startling secrets. Flying spheres will be unleashed. Ice cream vendors will reload. But will the ultimate nightmare end where it all began? The final game now begins in this decisive sequel that Digitally Obsessed calls “a superb conclusion… one of the most rewarding films in the series!”

It’s a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can’t.

“It’s been known for a little while that Mr. Coscarelli has had the rights to the novel JOHN DIES AT THE END, written by Cracked.com’s David Wong (real name Jason Pargin), but what hasn’t been so widely known is that Don’s been covertly filming the movie.

The film is about two twenty-something losers who gain extra sensory perception via a substance called Soy Sauce, a black liquid that acts like a potent drug, but seemingly has a mind of its own. They see a lot of crazy shit… mustaches ripping off of people’s faces, a monster made of cold cuts and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

John Dies At The End is a great book, laugh out loud funny and bizarre. It’s like Terry Gilliam wrote a Douglas Adams story in the vain of Ghostbusters.”

“Pre-production begins.”

Okay, that’s cryptic. Fans have been speculating over a few projects the director has been trying to prepare like Phantasm 5 or Bubba Nosferatu (here), but the director has also picked up the rights to the book John Dies at the End, by David Wong. But let’s not get caught up in head-scratching because he followed that Tweet with this:

“Most ride in a hearse only once. Some are luckier.”

Do you hear that? “Boooooooyyyyyyy!!”

Thirty years ago Don Coscarelli made a mini-classic about an inter-dimensional mortician who shrinks humans down to Jawa size so he can take over the world. While it was the Tall Man who become an instant horror icon with his ominous presense, it was the hyperspeed orbs that went on to define the series with their violent cranium drillings. The franchise has gone on to be one of the best in horror history.

The Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, California brought in some of the key players for a Phantasm Triple Feature last night. Watching them all arrive outside and seeing them hug each other and conversing, you realize they are one big family. The films have become as much a part of their lives as ours. I’ve done quite a few of these showings and this was the first time I felt I was genuinely part of the festivities. Everyone seemed to appreciate that you were asking for a picture with them - they even made time to chat with the various fans who brought everything from posters, CD’s, and DVD’s to have signed. Thanks to all parties involved for a special evening!
