Ranking high on the list of the all-time greatest heroes in the horror genre is the badass ice cream man Reggie, who took on The Tall Man and the forces of evil in all five of the Phantasm films. Reggie was named after the actor who played him, Reggie Bannister – and some sad news about our hero has made its way online this morning. Bannister associate Russell GreWolf Mauck, who recently worked with Reggie and his wife Gigi Fast Elk Bannister on their fan fiction script-turned-novel Phantasm SurVIval (which is available for purchase on Amazon), has taken to social media to reveal that Reggie’s health has taken a turn for the worse and he will now be in home hospice care.

Mauck wrote, “My beloved Phantasm Phamily and Phriends. Most of you know, beloved Reggie Bannister was diagnosed with Dementia and Parkinson’s in June 2016. They were able to...

It’s been a year since the passing of Angus Scrimm. Knowing Angus, he’d yell at us all for still being sad, but damn it, it’s for that very reason why this remains so hard for fans. The man was the… Continue Reading →

The post Gigi Bannister Pays Tribute to Phantasm’s Angus Scrimm appeared first on Dread Central.

Nearly 40 years after the release of the original Phantasm, the story of brothers Mike and Jody, their guitar-playing, ice cream-slinging pal Reggie, and their fight against the grave-robbing inter-dimensional shapeshifter known as The Tall Man continues in the fifth film in the Phantasm series, Phantasm: Ravager. Remarkably for a franchise with such longevity, Phantasm: Ravager utilizes much of the same cast and crew as the original film—in fact, it’s the first Phantasm movie not to be directed by series creator Don Coscarelli. But Coscarelli was still heavily involved in the production as a writer and producer, part of a close-knit group of collaborators that made the movie on a shoestring budget over the course of nearly a decade.

The A.V. Club joined Coscarelli, director David Hartman, star Reggie Bannister, and co-producer Gigi Bannister in a crowded private karaoke room in Austin the day after Phantasm: Ravager ...

This past Wednesday, March 16, Dread hit the set of filmmaker Paul Ward’s horror flick One for the Road for an exclusive look at the project, which at the time was shooting in the cold environs of Crestline, California.

While there, we got a chance to chat with Ward and the project’s producer, Tim Sullivan (director of 2001 Maniacs and 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams), as well as to witness the vampiric creature creations of Tom Devlin (Syfy’s "Face Off") and a bit of impressive and unintended pyromania. too, by the rather bemused latter.

Produced by Sullivan (under his New Rebellion Entertainment banner) as the second in his series of ‘Tim Sullivan Presents’ projects (initiated with the upcoming psychological thriller Cut/Print), this short film adaptation of Stephen King’s One for the Road (the original story stands as a sequel to Salem’s Lot) was written and directed by...

The literary sequel to the King novel Salem’s Lot and originally published in the author’s iconic Night Shift horror anthology, Sullivan’s cinematic incarnation is to be written and directed by award-winning Irish filmmaker Paul Ward (Fur Coat and No Knickers, pictured below with Sullivan), and will star horror icon Reggie Bannister of Phantasm fame alongside Fur Coat’s Danny O’Connor and newcomers Audrey Walters, Drew Walters and Karen Andrews. Tom Devlin (who currently can be seen as a contestant on the Syfy reality series "Face Off") will provide One for the Road’s make-up and special effects,...

Hey peeps, I came across this fun video of director Vito Trabucco's  Bloody Bloody Bible Camp today and thought I'd share it.  This clip totally reminds me of the 70's-early 80's slashers! You can see the influence and this is going to be a fun film for everybody.

Some of the reasons why this film is going to be awesome, well you have Tim Sullivan taking a break from directing playing Sister Mary Chopper, that's right!  Horror film icon Reggie Bannister is starring and producing along with wife Gigi Bannister. Even Ron Jeremy is in this film, I heard he's playng Jesus? Shelby McIntyre co-wrote the film with Trabucco.

Let us know how you like the clip and if you can see the slasher influence!

Producer Lance Polland dropped us a note to let us know that the first footage from Bloody Bible Camp has made its way online for you all to dig on! Whatcha waitin' for? Christ doesn't have all day!

The film stars 2001 Maniacs director Tim Sullivan as Sister Mary Chopper, a killer transvestite nun (talk about having us at hello). Said Sullivan of the project, "Vito Tribuco’s horror comedy Bloody Bloody Bible Camp, which Vito wrote with his partner Shelby McIntyre, is infused with the same splatstick soul as Field Of Screams.

And Ron Jeremy plays Jesus. It’s a total knock-out gore/comedy/boob fest that doesn’t just cross the...
