Space Mutiny and The Demon were photographed by Vincent G Cox ASC, a mentor of mine.

Last post by Trevor - August 10, 2026, 11:42:52 PMQuote from: claws on August 10, 2026, 09:35:01 PMThe horror community has lost a true legend with the passing of Reggie Bannister at the age of 80. Best known and loved globally as the shotgun-toting, ice-cream-man-turned-hero Reggie in Don Coscarelli's iconic Phantasm franchise, he brought immense charm, grit, and heart to independent genre cinema. Beyond his unforgettable work on screen, he was also a talented musician, writer, and a cherished presence among fans. Rest in peace, Reg, thanks for all the memories and for showing us how to properly face the Tall Man.
Very sad news.
I remember sneaking in to see PHANTASM at our home town cinema in early 1980 to see it. The cinema owner knew my folks and I just had to wait until the lights went down, sat at the back and later had a few nightmares about closing mirrored cupboard doors and seeing someone standing behind me.
I never knew that he was a veteran of the Vietnam War. Makes me like him even more.
RIP Reggie. 😢❤️🌹❤️

Using virtual reality technology, a scientist (Pierce Brosnan) is able to increase the intelligence of a simple minded gardener (Jeff Fahey). However, the experiments soon grow out of control and the subject becomes more powerful -- and more sinister -- than anyone imagined. Essentially, it's a sci-fi remix of "Flowers For Algernon," with a body count.
This strange, high tech sci-fi/horror hybrid was supposedly inspired by a Stephen King short story, but King eventually sued to have his name taken off of it, as the film bore almost no resemblance to its supposed source material. The computer generated "virtual reality" FX were pretty whizz-bang at the time, though they were looking passe' just a few years later and they look absolutely pre-historic now. "Lawnmower Man" is dated as hell, but it's still a fun watch in a retro sort of way.
