Earlier this year, Well Go USA’s Phantasm Sphere Collection was given a re-release, including all five films in Don Coscarelli‘s franchise, 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.”
We wanted to let you know that the set is currently on sale over on Amazon as part of a pre-Black Friday offering, selling for cheaper than ever before at $91.70. Take advantage!
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.
