Phantasm II

Eight years ago, my visions began.

Terrifying fantasies of things to come.

Through them, I found you, Mike.

And your friend Reggie.

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.

Hey, you had a dream.

Just a nightmare.

It seemed so real.

You know, partner,

what we need is a change of scenery.

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.

But I also found him...

The Tall Man.

Boy!

Sh*t.

Burn, you son of a b*tch.

Sh*t!

Stay down. It's OK.

I don't know where

he comes from.

Maybe another dimension?

His army of creatures.

He destroys towns and plunders

their graveyards to enslave the dead.

Each day, I can feel him coming closer.

He knows I see him.

And we've both seen what he can do.

Mike and I have grown up together.

I know you're out there.

Soon, my grandfather will die

and my visions will become real.

I need you, Mike.

Help me.

Well, I guess you could say I just...

really went over the deep end.

I got to the point where

I couldn't distinguish fantasy from reality.

That's good, keep it up.

And I don't blame Reg any more.

I mean, what could he do?

The dreams had really taken hold of me.

Just tell him what he wants to hear.

Besides, since I lost my family,

Reg is really the only person I've got.

- He's stood by me.

- I've got to get out of here. She needs me.

I'm looking forward to just moving back in

with him and getting on with my life.

There's a lot of things I want to do.

It's been a tough seven years.

But you've come a long way.

Be well, Michael, and remember,

it was all in your imagination.

Like the f*** it was.

I was afraid I'd find you here.

Come on, Mike, get up outta there.

This whole place is empty.

- So, come on, let's go home.

- Look at this, goddamn it!

That's the third one I dug up.

Doesn't it strike you as strange that

every corpse in this graveyard is missing?

What do you want, Mike?

I want to stop them.

The Tall Man - that story

about me blowing up my house

because it was infested with midgets?

Mike, that wasn't real.

Your doctors said

it was a paranoid delusion.

F*** the doctors

and f*** you if you won't help.

Goddamn it, Mike, I've tried to help you.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

He's showing me things.

I think he wants me to come to him.

- Why you?

- I'm not the only one, there's others.

There's a girl.

She's drawn to him too.

But I'm telling you, man,

without our help, she's gonna die.

He's gotta be stopped and I'm going

after him. I know I can find him.

But to kill him,

I'm going to need your help.

Sh*t, Mike. If they catch you

digging up graves,

they'll put you away forever.

Come on back to the house.

Come on, man, we can talk it out there.

Dinner's waiting for you.

Aunt Martha came down

and Celeste baked a turkey.

And you know, little Bonnie,

she can't wait to meet her Uncle Mike.

She's been talking about it all day.

She's really high on something.

Welcome home, boy.

Reg! We've got to get the people

out of your house! The gas is gonna blow!

- No! No!

- Reg!

Get them out,

we've got to get them out! Come on!

No, no, no, no!

No! Got to get them out!

You knew before it happened.

I'm so sorry, Reg.

Let's go, Mike.

We've got things to do.

Mike didn't need

to ask me any more.

I enlisted for the duration.

He said it might take us years to find the

Tall Man and if we did, we'd probably die.

Well, maybe.

But not without a fight.

Let's go shopping.

Reg, long guns are no good.

If it's gonna work...

it's gotta work at close range.

There's no use

trying to tell anybody.

They'd lock us up and throw away the key.

We'd spent a long time on the road,

northwest mostly.

It wasn't hard to pick up his trail,

the places he'd been

always looked the same.

Small towns are like people.

Some get old and die a natural death.

Some are murdered.

We have to be careful.

Cos sometimes, he sets traps for us.

Too damned late.

Let's get the tools and scope it out.

- I'll check it out.

- All right. I'll go this way.

OK.

Mike!

Mike!

Down here, Mike.

Hey, Mike, he left one.

Who are you?

Where can we find him?

Oh, my God.

Liz, what has he done to you?

Reg...

This is the one I was telling you about,

the girl in my...

You play a good game, boy.

Come east if you dare.

Get the f*** back!

It wasn't the first time the Tall Man

had left one of his calling cards.

That one was the worst, so far.

He must know we're on his trail

because that hunchback apparition

looked just like the girl in Mike's head.

We're moving east,

toward the state line.

There's one more town - Perigord.

I buried my grandchild

and both of my children.

And my husband.

It's so hard to live past

the ones you love.

Hey, Grandma.

You've still got me and Jeri, OK?

I don't see much of Jeri,

but how are you?

- Are you still having those nightmares?

- Er, no. No, not any more.

Oh, I can't!

You've got to be strong, Grandma.

You know Grandpa

would've wanted it that way.

I'll try.

In the name of the Father

and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I know how hard it is for you.

But remember, he's left a life of pain

and trouble and he's gone to God.

He's at rest now.

The last train leaves at 6:00.

I've got to be on it.

Damn it, Jeri,

I need you to be here, with us.

- Just one more day.

- I have to get back to Bruce and Stevie.

I've got to get going now -

it's 20 miles back to the station.

- Besides, Grandma's a tough cookie.

- Thanks, Jeri.

I'm sorry, hon, I really do have to go.

Look, if there's any problem, just call.

OK?

Take care.

Jeri?

Damn, it's not a dream.

Mike, where are you?

Reg, she's in danger.

- Who?

- The girl.

You said that six months ago.

Yeah, well, this time, I'm certain.

We're close to her and the Tall Man.

Come on, let's go.

Jeez, we've slept half the day away.

- You say she's here, you say she's there...

- She's everywhere.

Well, maybe so, but I'm not so sure

she's not just a wet dream.

Listen, Reg, we're close.

And soon, I'm gonna find her, and him.

All right, then.

My darling, I love you so much.

I'll miss you.

Miss you.

Forgive me, Lord.

I must end this sacrilege.

I can't close my eyes

to the things I've seen.

It must be stopped.

- You!

- The graveside service is about to begin.

Blessed Mother.

It's just a tree limb.

Wind.

Damn this wind!

Elizabeth?

- Finally up, huh?

- Yeah.

- I had this dream about this girl...

- Hi.

Oh, sorry to startle you, pal.

I picked her up about 50 miles back.

Mike, this is Alchemy.

Chemy for short.

It's nice to meet you, Mike.

Hey, Reg, can you pull over?

I gotta take a leak.

Sure.

Reg, this girl's in my dreams,

except when she's in them, she's dead.

I think, for her sake,

she shouldn't get involved with us.
