Scrimm & Coscarelli Help Fangoria Celebrate 30 Years
By John Klyza - May 30th, 2009
2009, what a year: Phantasm turns 30, and so does the magazine that’s traced the franchise for a very long time. So what better way to illustrate that multi-decade association than enlisting the creator and “anti-hero”? Don Coscarelli & Angus Scrimm, as Fango Hall Of Famers, have each written a delightful piece. Scrimm schools you on the classics of horror’s past, while Coscarelli reminisces about the now-treasured Fango #2. Both extend a congratulatory hand to the premiere modern horror rag. Fangoria’s 30th Anniversary issue (#284) is above worth the semi-gloss paper it’s printed on, and is on sale now!

Note - this issue contains a few easter egg references to Don Coscarelli! Catch ‘em all!

I was watching Phantasm 2 the other day and I spotted something that I thought was funny. Before the charachter of Liz was nearly placed in the crematorium, while the mortician was preparing the cremains of the previous occupant, the camera pans down and you can see the bag the cremains are going into. The name on the bag is SAM RAIMI, the director of the EVIL DEAD series of movies!!!
