“Cousin Itt” Was In Phantasm?!

If you were a fan of the Addams Family you probably heard the sad news. Actor Felix Silla, famously known for his role as Cousin Itt on 'The Addams Family,' passed away at 84 this weekend.

Felix Anthony Silla, also credited as Felix Cilla, was an Italian-born American film and television actor and stuntman. After starting his career in the circus, he became known for his television and film roles, especially as the costumed character "Cousin Itt" on television's The Addams Family (Wikipedia)

However, did you know that Silla had a role in PHANTASM 2?!

It turns out that Silla portrayed one of the Tall Man’s minions in the scene where “Young Mike” gets dragged away before Reggie’s house blows up.

This opens up so many possibilities. Does this link The Addams Family with the PHANTASM franchise? Do you think Gomez and Morticia had a sentinel sphere in their house of mystery?

We are sending out lots of love to the Silla family during this difficult time.
