Anyway, I chose this post for inclusion in the fourth "issue" of Spatter Analysis.<br /><br /><a href="http://midnitemedia.blogspot.com/2011/02/spatter-analysis-4-january-2011.html" rel="nofollow">Check it out!</a><br /><br />--J/MetroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697892353400885812.post-86030002103673039592011-02-06T18:33:48.096-08:002011-02-06T18:33:48.096-08:00The final scene from Nightmare on Elm Street is a ...The final scene from Nightmare on Elm Street is a pretty direct rip off of the final scene from Phantasm. I recall both movies also have foot capturing goo in the carpet/ground to slow our heroes' retreat from the villain. I saw Nightmare many years before I saw Phantasm but I recall while viewing Phantasm thinking that Nightmare certainly had borrowed from it stylistically and thematically.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295931940256353646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697892353400885812.post-59488283245405683502011-01-25T04:13:37.172-08:002011-01-25T04:13:37.172-08:00Awesome post!

Awesome! Phantasm is too flat out *insane* to be a major part of the canon but is so unique and such a "personal vision" sort of thing you can't help but admire it. The sequels can die though.Rob K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09241314629038688364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-697892353400885812.post-30296169873606463342011-01-08T23:46:56.534-08:002011-01-08T23:46:56.534-08:00LOL!

It is kind of weird for a scary old man to want his balls flying in people's faces, now that I think about it. It's as if the film isn't weird enough.
