The fifth film in the Phantasm series will be released in either the first or second quarter of 2016, along with the 4K remastered original film. No word on what studio will be releasing it.

After the heartbreaking passing of Angus Scrimm this past weekend, some horror hounds had wondered if this would impact the release of the upcoming PHANTASM: RAVAGER. However, fright fans need not fret, as Don Coscarelli has told Entertainment Weekly that both the David Hartman-directed PHANTASM: RAVAGER and the 4K Bad Robot-commissioned PHANTASM transfer are “pretty much done” and, barring any unexpected developments, will be releasing in 2016!

Coscarelli revealed to EW’s Clark Collis that both PHANTASM projects will be seeking a “first-or-second quarter release” in 2016, and that there are plans to pursue a theatrical option for the films although the will likely to be limited to revival houses. Coscarelli also confirmed an impending Blu-ray release for the 4K PHANTASM, and that aside from a brand new video transfer, the film will be carrying a newly minted 5.1 audio mix. Stay tuned for more on this Phantastic news as it becomes available!
