One of the top all time cult movies, in my estimation, is Phantasm. This movie and it's sequals have always been sheer fun and the storylines profoundly bizarre abstract realities. But there never has been a "making of" book as just about every other blockbuster movie has had done about it. "Phantasm: Exumed" corrects this situation. I ordered the book sight unseen, as anything on Phantasm is a must have for me. I was completely surprised at how splended it was. It is compiled with the full cooperation of the director and actors involved with the franchise, with great interview spots, trivia and behind the scenes stories and special effects reveals. As well, there are scores of behind the scenes and on the set photos by the lovely Kristen Deem illustrating the book. It's everything and more one would hope for from a book of this type. If you are a fan of Phantasm, this book is without question a must have...BOOOOY!!!!!Read full review
"Phantasm Exhumed" is an exhaustive deep dive into the Phantasm film series that focuses on the experiences of the creators and artists as they brought a dream (or nightmare?) to the big screen, and continued the story across five films. Students of the filmmaking process will be interested in the not-so-glamorous nitty gritty of independent filmmaking, and heartened each time the team was able to take hardship in stride and persevere. Phans will be delighted by trivia, conversations with the crew, and pictures of behind-the-scenes moments and artifacts shared by those who helped bring this series to life. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys "Phantasm!"

the storys are good but the pictures are not good at all. some of the pictures in the book you cant see or tell what it is. its all in black and white pictures like someone just printed them out not good at all. they should have done the picture in color and glossy.
