![]() So before we dive too deep into this update, I want to talk about the films. Inspired by the book “Something Wicked This Way Comes” by Ray Bradbury as well as from elements from films like “Suspiria” and “Invaders From Mars,” he made a film that became a hit at the box office as well sparked a cult-like following that is still going strong to this day. The Phantasm movie series is the brain child of director and writer Don Coscarelli who grew up a fan of horror and wanted to make his own in the booming market. So with that, let’s move into the graveyard and dodge those evil metal flying spheres and get one step closer to the world of The Tall Man! This also can apply to promo comics that used to be given away at video rental stores and now come inside DVDs and Blu-Rays, plus still sometimes at the movie theaters! Many great horror movie themed comics have been released and sadly many have been forgotten, so I feel it’s my duty here on Rotten Ink to dig them up from the comic long box graveyard and give them life once more and share them with you, my friends and readers, who might have interest in tracking them down to read or collect. ![]() What I am trying to showcase in these updates are horror movie themed comics that lasted for 1-4 issues (some cases could be more issues) and can be from any comic company from Marvel all the way to Blackthrone and can be an adaptation or its own story or a prequel based on the characters of the film it’s named after. ![]() This marks not only our second update in our countdown to Halloween but also the first in our “From Horror Movie To Horror Comic” updates that join our returning update themes like “Horror Host Icon”, “Alien Invasion”, “Undead Files”, “NES Challenge” and “Marvel At The Movies” among others. When choosing Horror Comics for this year’s countdown to Halloween many titles were considered, but one I knew for sure had to be in this year’s roundup was this Xmachina comic based on Phantasm as the movie series as well as this comic deserved to be talked about here on Rotten Ink. The film was not made up of vampires, zombies, a slasher killer, ghosts or even animals running wild oh no, this film was something more with a killer who was beyond the realms of normal horror bad guys as The Tall Man is so much more than your normal villain of cinema. The Phantasm film series is a horror franchise that breaks the mold of what one thinks of when comparing it to other horror films that came before. Walker is about to discover that the old adage 'You can't go home again' has little meaning - in The Twilight Zone.You Write A Good Blog, Boy…But Now You Die! Those words are something I would like to think The Tall Man would scream at me if he was here at my apartment while I write this update. Not a complicated set of tasks, it would appear, and yet the newlywed Mrs. Walker's clothes packed, make final arrangements for the sale of the house, lock it up, and depart on their honeymoon. They're returning from the city hall in order to get Mr. Walker: her son, Alex, thirty-four years of age and, up 'til twenty minutes ago, the so-called 'perennial bachelor.' With him is his bride, the former Miss Virginia Lane. Only one element is missing now, one remaining item in the estate of the late Mrs. Walker's clock here, has ceased to recognize the passage of time. Henrietta Walker is, you see, a house which belongs almost entirely to the past, a house which, like Mrs. The time, however, is not twenty-five years ago - but now. The other rooms, upstairs and down, are much the same. Walker's house, as it appeared in that same year. And this, except for isolated objects, is the living room of Mrs. ![]() Walker, herself, as she appeared twenty-five years ago. ![]() Narrator: You're looking at the house of the late Mrs. ![]()
