The Correct Order To Watch The Phantasm Franchise

Fortunately, “Phantasm” isn’t like the “Halloween” franchise where the timeline spins off in several directions, necessitating a corkboard to figure out the best way to tackle the films in a specific order. The release order is the correct order here, plain as that, and all but one of the movies are numbered to make it easy. The order is as follows:

• “Phantasm” (1979)

• “Phantasm II” (1988)

• “Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead” (1994)

• “Phantasm IV: Oblivion” (1998)

• “Phantasm: Ravager” (2016)

So there we have it! The original film centers on two brothers who discover that their local mortuary is hiding a legion of killer dwarf creatures, a flying drill ball, and a demonic mortician known only as The Tall Man who enslaves the souls of the damned. If that isn’t weird enough for you, it only gets more bizarre from there on out. Buckle up.
