Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994)
You know, I think I’ve seen this before. It certainly seems familiar, but I couldn’t give you a time frame of when I actually viewed it. If I did it was probably on Sci-Fi before SyFy came along and started to suck. Phantasm III picks up immediately after the end of the last installment. Reggie […]
