- Phantasm. Phantasm follows a young boy as he uncovers the dark secret of his local cemetery, which spirals into a bizarre nightmare. Don Coscarelli's 1979 horror classic is loaded with surreal visuals and a creepy score and atmosphere, and while the acting and dialogue can be a little rough, they don't drag it down.
- Phantasm II. Phantasm II is the highest budget of the sequels and was Universal's attempt to make The Tall Man a horror icon. This resulted in the weirdness being toned down and saw Mike and Reggie take to the road to hunt the villain and his minions.
- Phantasm IV: Oblivion. Phantasm IV: Oblivion was shot with a tiny $650,000 budget and re-used many props from previous entries to keep costs down. It also recycled unseen footage shot for the original that was never used and provides an origin story for The Tall Man.
- Phantasm III: Lord Of The Dead. Phantasm III: Lord Of The Dead was the first of the series to go straight to video and featured the return of A. Michael Baldwin as Mike, after the studio replaced him with James LaGros (Point Break) for the second movie.

- 5Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead. Alright, of all the Phantasm films this one was the most wanting. There is a lot here that foreshadows the direction of Phantasm IV: Oblivion and Phantasm: Ravager.
- 4Phantasm II. Okay, without A. Michael Baldwin as Mike it would seem that Phantasm II would have to be the worst film in the franchise, right? Wrong. Phantasm II starts off quite spectacularly as The Tall Man shows up at Mike's house to basically tie itself into the ending of Phantasm.
- 3Phantasm IV: Oblivion. When I first screened Phantasm IV: Oblivion I had such high hopes. I actually saw the Phantasm movies out of order. Sure, I started with Phantasm but I couldn't find a copy of Phantasm II.
- 2Phantasm: Ravager. There are many Phans that are going to think this choice is blasphemous. They are going to see my listing of Phantasm: Ravager as the second best film in the franchise as some sort of stunt or click-bait.
