directed what became one of the seminal sci-fi/horror films of that era,
Phantasm. The film was a worldwide theatrical success and spawned four
acclaimed sequels.
For the first time in the history of horror cinema, a celebrated filmmaker of a
cult-classic horror film series has continued the adventure by swapping mediums
and personally authoring a series of fictional works exploring in detail the
characters he originally created. Coscarelli has now returned to the world of
Phantasm to tell more tales of these inspiring phantasmic heroes.
In association with illustrator Aaron Lea (GHOST, Rob Zombie), Molotov Press
now presents Phiction: Tales from the World of Phantasm.
PHICTION comprises six stories set in the expansive Phantasm world that have
never been told before:
In "Life and Death in the 'Nam" we explore the origin story of our favorite ice
cream vendor/hero Reggie and his first encounter with the supernatural forces
of evil in the jungles of the Vietnam war. It's a two-fisted tale of a young man
enduring the horrors of war and at the same time facing down the horrors of the
unknown.
In "Behind the Mortuary Door" we learn the secrets of the embalming trade
from one of the most memorable characters from the original film.
In "He Was Home Alone" we revisit the young boy Tim, prior to the events
from Phantasm Ill, and how, using only his wits and guile, he survives against
unspeakable horrors.
In "Tobe" we follow the trail of one of Phantasm's forgotten characters as he
witnesses the key events of that film from an entirely different perspective.
In "The Rocky Road" we track the events of one of the Phantasm saga's fan-
favorite characters, the nunchuck-wielding Rocky as she's mustered out of the
armed services and travels the backroads of the rural South in the early 90's. In a
desperate search to find her family she encounters love, vengeance and horror,
frequently reacting in the only way she knows how, with her fists and her feet.
And finally in "Escape From New York" we join another Phantasm fan-favorite
character, the diminutive Chunk from Phantasm Ravager as he attempts to flee
his home in the big city from the horror of an oncoming apocalypse. Along the
way he bonds with some unexpected allies on a thrilling quest for survival.”
