The Manson Brothers Show: The Boys look back at Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm

The Manson Brothers Show, which is hosted by the writers/stars of the horror comedy The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre – Chris Margetis (Stone Manson) and Mike Carey (Skull Manson) – got its start a couple weeks ago with an episode in which the boys looked back at the 1976 classic The Omen… and also discussed tortilla soup, Iron Maiden, and the wrestling word of the week. Last week, they revisited John Carpenter’s The Fog. And in the new episode that has just arrived online, they’re discussing writer/director Don Coscarelli’s 1979 mind-bender Phantasm (get it HERE). To find out what they think of the movie – as well as other assorted topics – check out the video embedded above!

Here’s some information on The Manson Brothers Show: At long last, The Manson Brothers (Stone and Skull Manson) bring their lunacy to The Arrow in the Head Show YouTube Channel!
