Horror movies of 1998

[tomatikoma]

They say a dream is a little death. Your breathing slows, your body muscles relax, and your mind goes wandering to places that aren't on any map of the world. Whether inspiring or frightening, dreams can make a person find the answer to a vexing question, strengthen their faith or ruin the day ahead. So it's not strange that wraiths have found a use for them. A couple of intrusive dreams put into the right head, and a mortal does whatever you desire...

PHANTASM SEQUEL WEEK

I re-watched Phantasm 4: Oblivion

Part two of the Phantasm Sequel Week is part four of five films. What? Don't worry about it.

Our characters, Mike and Reggie, are once again separated after the end of the third film. Mike is trying to outrun The Tall Man while trying to stop the transformation taking hold of him.

Apparently director Don Coscarelli wanted to abandon the more comedic tone of his third Phantasm film, and go back to the dreamy and dark tone of the original "Phantasm".

Using previously unused footage from the original film, Coscarelli does his best to right the ship a little. The tone feels more akin to the series' first two installments, and we seem to be taking things seriously again. For the most part. There are a few one-liners and silly zombies, but we've come to expect that. This is B-Horror after all.

The biggest problem here is how much better the footage from the original is than the new stuff. For example, the old footage of The Tall Man hanging from a tree with the starless black sky behind him, like an endless void, was really cool. It was creepy in a fairytale kind of way. It made me smile how it balanced between scary and silly. The new stuff doesn't have the same style of otherworldliness as this.

"Phantasm 4" is very much a 90's B-Horror. It's has its moments, like when two metal death-orbs take the place of a woman's breasts, but it's not dream-like or mysterious. It's just...well, kind of cool in its own gorey way.

"Phantasm 4" is technically much better than 3, but will never compare to the original. It's a little slow, but never truly abandons the fun of the horror stuff. It does definitely prove that Phantasm sequels are strictly for Phantasm fans. You have to already be 100% down to watch whatever the series throws at you in terms of quality and ridiculousness.

I think mostly what I got out of this was my new deep desire to see Reggie from Phantasm team up with Ash from Evil Dead. How are these two guys not best friends?

Angus Scrimm as The Tall Man doing a Fangoria advertisement

[light-lanterne]

this was supposed to be two paragraphs long,,, anyway, little idea i had:

tw // mentions of death, murder and violence - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ☽ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - small offering, @boycattj, @byelerss, @catboy-cabin, @dark-quill, @conanssummerchild, @fenixashes, @fluffyfangirl, @foodiewithdahoodie, @holyvirgilscriptures, @hyperfixationcentralsvoid, @ivytheenbyfae, @runninguplenorahills, @rotisseries, @saffirez, @willow-lark, @yearninginblue.

au where paladin mike is so caught up in winning all his battles that, when he is on the verge of finally losing a campaign and therefore a whole war, he is quick to make a deal with a powerful god to salvage the situation and emerge victorious once more.

so he makes this pact. offers his eternal loyalty to this god in exchange for good luck and near invincibility, then continues waging his kingdom's war as they conquer new lands. he never once doubts his purpose within the king's reign, nor does he question why the deity he made a pact with never asked for anything in return for their favour other than for mike to keep fighting.

that is, until the day of his final mission, where he's tasked with conquering a small village that will grant the kingdom undisputed advantage over their enemies.

so he goes. single-handedly slaughters everyone who gets in his way. destroys all defences the town ever had and makes his way to the town hall to claim his victory. as he walks, he steps over the bodies of his victims and something in the back of his mind tells him this is wrong; urges him to look at the weapons his enemies were carrying and realise that they were nothing but farming tools and normal household utensils.

but his bloodlust doesn't simmer down until the very moment when he walks over the corpses of his entire family and beloved childhood friends.

the people he loved most, all slaughtered by none other than him.

all because the god had granted him with good luck, near invincibility, and a terrible fog that would settle in his brain every time mike picked up a sword, blinding him from seeing the world as it truly was —his "enemies" as they truly were—; forcing him to fight and feed the god more and more blood until every living being in the periphery was dead.

so there, amidst the ruins of his hometown and surrounded by the bodies of everyone he ever cared for, mike makes a promise: he vows to kill this god, no matter what it takes, and avenge the lives of all the people he killed in their name.

(all the people who now haunt his every move, phantasms of his victims teasing and torturing him every waking minute as punishment for breaking the deal he'd made)

,,,but of course, a human killing a god by themselves is not easy and thus, mike makes yet another deal, convinced that he's got nothing left to lose.

so this time he makes a deal with a demon, one that's long waited for the moment someone made mike's mistake and required his assistance. one that doesn't have a hidden agenda and truly just wants to see this pretty little human kill god with his bare hands.

and thus, a new partnership is born: will gleefully offers his services and guidance to mike, leading him through a vast battlefield full of enemies of all sorts (divine and otherwise) and, whenever the situation is dire, offering his strength and power to the frail human, their selves merging into one for limited time and only separating once they are both covered in blood.

the catch ? with every time will possesses mike, the human will lose a memory of the people he loved, insignificant at first, then more and more important as time goes on until there is nothing left in mike's brain but the demon's name and the bloodlust that led him here in the first place.

but such is the price mike has to pay if he is to fulfil his promise.

so oblivion it is.

- the end -

(this is obviously inspired by the original god of war trilogy so, for extra horror, please imagine that mike's punishment for breaking the deal with god includes him being covered in the ashes of his loved ones, a cruel, constant reminder of what he did to them, his reflection becoming yet another sight to torment him until the day he dies)

Familiar Faces in Token Places Winners!!!

Jace, the Thought Taker by @nine-effing-hells

Planeswalkers are a very good use for this mechanic I think, and this one executes it very well. I do think the +1 should mill 2 cards to help get the phantasms online a little bit faster cause the card can definitely use the power boost. But otherwise, I like this a lot.

Chronogeist by @real-aspen-hours

An oblivion ring (variant) token is a great fit for this contest. You need it to be tied to a token of some sort, and that token needs to have a name, so it just makes sense to use an existing name. I’m not sure borrowed time is the way to go, since it’s not nearly as iconic as say, banishing light, but the idea is sound and the design is solid. (The name should be capitalized though).

Bountiful Hellkite by @reaperfromtheabyss

Okay this is really fun. 9/9 that makes three Sprouting Thrinaxes when it dies is a very fun concept, and I like how you flavored this for jund. I do think 7 mana is a little bit cheap for a board in a can of this magnitude
