The new episode of WTF Happened to This Unmade Horror Movie finds out why Phantasm 1999 never went into production
Writer/director Don Coscarelli kicked off a mind-bending horror franchise with his low budget 1979 classic Phantasm, following that up with Phantasm II in 1988 and Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead in 1994. One Phantasm phan who thought they knew where the franchise should go next was Roger Avary – and soon after sharing an Academy Award win with Quentin Tarantino for co-writing the stories that made up Pulp Fiction, Avary started crafting a Phantasm sequel script he called Phantasm 1999. Coscarelli, impressed by Avary’s ideas, set out to bring Phantasm 1989 to screen… but that never happened.

So find out about the Phantasm movie that never was by checking out the new episode of WTF Happened to This Unmade Horror Movie, embedded above!
If this Phantasm film had been made, returning franchise stars Reggie Bannister and Angus Scrimm would have been joined in the cast by Bruce Campbell, who was on board to play badass military man Colonel Heckleman.
Coscarelli’s original Phantasm (get it HERE) has the following synopsis: The residents of a small town have begun dying under strange circumstances, leading young Mike to investigate. Mike, his brother Jody and the local ice-cream man Reggie seek help after discovering that the Tall Man is reanimating and killing the dead in the form of misshapen zombies. Do you wish that
