Now available from Well Go USA, The Phantasm Sphere Collection brings all five Phantasm movies back to Blu-ray, along with an officially authorized, full-scale replica of the original Phantasm killer sphere prop! Well Go explains, “This sphere was sized to the exact measurements of a screen-used prop in Don Coscarelli’s personal collection.”
In addition to all the Phantasm films and previous supplemental materials, The Phantasm Sphere Collection is packed with extras. The centerpiece of the set is a meticulous 4K restoration of 1988’s Phantasm II, personally supervised by Coscarelli. “This new transfer of Coscarelli’s director’s cut includes the never-before-seen X-rated sphere/gore sequence banned by the MPAA at the time of its theatrical release,” Well Go details.

Exclusively for Bloody Disgusting this week, Lynch cracks open his own personal ball (far less painful than it sounds, we promise) to show you everything contained within, highlighting the gorgeous box, the inside packaging, and of course, the five Phantasm movies themselves. Lynch even runs through the special features, which you’ll also find down below.
