Phantasm: Remastered on Art House Theater Day

Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal that filmmaker Don Coscarelli’s horror film Phantasm: Remastered will play in cinemas as part of the inaugural Art House Theater Day, which takes place Sept. 24. The event will also feature a collection of stop-motion short films from animation distributors GKIDS called A Town Called Panic: The Specials. Over 185 venues are participating in what is being described as a nationwide celebration of the cultural and community growth that art house theaters provide. “Art House Theater Day is a chance to show film-lovers that their local theaters are part of a larger cultural movement,” event co-founder Gabriel Chicoine said in a statement. “These cinemas are not passive, insular venues — they are passion-driven institutions that collaborate with distributors, filmmakers, and each other to deepen film appreciation and to increase the diversity and artistic integrity of what you see on the big screen.” http://www.arthousetheaterday.org/ Art House Theater Day plays the remastered original across the country in theaters Sep 24th w/ a LIVE Video Q&A with cast and crew ---- Phantasm RAVAGER (the sequel) in theaters Oct 7th!+ VOD --- DVD/BluRay of original films + ravager via WELL GO USA soon after.
