Listen "Phantasm's The Tall Man"
Episode Synopsis
The Tall Man is one of the most enigmatic and terrifying villains in the horror genre, originating from the Phantasm film series created by writer-director Don Coscarelli. Played by the late Angus Scrimm, the Tall Man made his first appearance in the 1979 cult classic Phantasm, and he became the central antagonist throughout the franchise, spanning five films. Unlike many horror villains who rely on brute force or slasher-style violence, the Tall Man is a more cerebral, almost otherworldly figure. He represents not only physical horror but also a deep, existential terror rooted in themes of death, reality, and the unknown.
