Phantasm Page #2

He's only three feet long,

he must still weigh 200 pounds.

What's all this yellow sh*t

comin' out of his head?

Careful, get him in there.

- Better padlock it.

- Yeah.

Hey, this guy's not gonna leak

all over my ice cream, is he?

Nah. I'll see you back at the house.

Right.

Hey, you boys back again?

Jesus Christ, Myrtle,

you almost gave me a coronary!

But I just can't figure out why.

Why they're taking these bodies

and crushing 'em down to half size.

Crushing 'em!

What about Mom and Dad?

They're up there too.

Hey, just forget about that.

OK... I see it, I see it all now.

What we gotta do is snag that tall dude

and stomp the sh*t out of him,

and we'll find out what the hell

is goin' on up there.

We'll lay that sucker flat and drive

a stake right through his goddamn heart!

You gotta be shittin' me, man,

that mother's strong!

Hey, hold on.

First thing is, I want Mike outta here.

Reg, you take him over to Sally's,

the antique store.

He'll be safe there. Then hustle on back.

And Mike, no arguments.

Jody sure sounded strange on the phone.

I hope he's feeling OK.

Sally, did you see these new settings?

Oh, these are nice.

You know, I think I'm gonna lock up.

Michael, when you get sleepy,

I've got a bed made up for you in back.

You have to take me home.

- But why?

- No questions. You must take me home.

Aargh!

Oh, my God, pull over.

Stay in the car and don't get out.

I'll be right back.

Michael, wait a minute.

Is that Reggie's truck?

Let's get outta here, quick!

Michael, what is going on?

Just get me home.

What the hell's that?

Oh, sh*t!

Get outta here!

Don't open it!

No!

Oh!

Hey, man.

They got Sally and Susie.

What?

Up at Morningside. And Reggie too.

You better get on up to your room.

- I'm goin' with you!

- Nope.

I'm not letting you go by yourself.

Let me go, God damn it!

Son of a b*tch,

you're not letting me go, are you?

You're never coming back,

you goddamn bastard!

Don't leave me alone!

Open the damn door!

I've been waiting for you.

No.

Ah!

He has to be in there.

I'm sorry, Daddy... but we had to.

Oh, my God!

- Jody...

- Yeah?

Um, I opened up his...

Forget it.

C'mon.

There's this door down here...

and I'll bet there's something behind it.

Well, let's take a look, then.

Well, that's the door.

- Hey, man, I dunno...

- Hey!

Hi, guys.

Reg... you ain't dead!

No, and I ain't three foot two yet either.

- What's goin' on?

- Hey, man, I don't know.

I've been hiding in a casket

playin' like a stiff, but I did find the giris.

I found Sally and Sue, and a couple

of other giris I never even saw before.

Were they dead?

No. I snuck 'em out a window and they took

off through the bushes like scared rabbits.

All right.

Well... after you, my friend.

You be my guest.

Gee!

Dwarfs!

God, Reggie, look at this!

Don't fear.

Aargh!

Jesus!

God... I just grabbed him there.

- Slaves.

- What?

Slaves!

They're using 'em for slaves!

The dwarfs.

And they gotta crush 'em...

cos of the gravity... and the heat.

And this is the door to their planet.

Yeah!

And these guys are all ready to go.

Yeah.

OK, stay together.

Wait, I think I got a lighter.

Light it up.

Over here, follow me.

Jody, where are you?

Mike?

Aw, sh*t!

Mike!

Mike, where are you?

Mike!

Jody!

Jody, where are you?

Jody! Jody!

Jody!

Jody, where are you?

Mike! Mike!

Mike, Mike, c'mon, we gotta find Reggie.

Where's Reggie? We gotta find him.

- It's Reggie! We...

- No!

- C'mon, we gotta help him!

- No, you can't help him, he's dead!

There's a...

there's an old mine shaft, way down

by... by the end of Singer's Creek.

A thousand feet straight down.

We just gotta... gotta figure out a way

to get him up there.

What are we gonna do without Reggie?

Reggie's the last he'll ever get...

cos we're gonna run that tall bastard

straight down to hell.

Look, you go in

and try and find some more ammo.

I'm gonna get rid of that warning barrier

around the mine shaft and camouflage it.

OK, lock up the house good,

and stay in there. I'll be right back.

Ah!

Boy!

You play a good game, boy,

but the game is finished.

Now you die!

Don't fear.

Don't fear.

Oh!

Don't fear.

Ah!

I hear the sounds.

I know those rocks aren't gonna hold him.

Not for long.

Hey, you had a dream. Just a nightmare.

What do you expect? You've

hardly slept since the funeral last week.

I know those rocks aren't gonna hold him.

First he took Mom and Dad...

then he took Jody...

now he's after me.

Mike, that tall man of yours

did not take Jody away.

Jody died in a car wreck.

Mike... you had a bad dream.

Now, I know you're scared...

but you're not alone.

I'll take care of you.

I know I can't ever take Jody's place...

but I'm sure as hell gonna try.

Seems so real.

You know, partner,

what we need is a change of scenery.

Why don't you and me hit the road

for a couple of weeks?

Where will we go?

Well, I don't know. I guess we can

figure that one out when we get there.

OK.

Well, get on upstairs,

get your gear together,

cos we leave when the sun comes up.

Boy!

Aargh!
