Transformation is the theme for Phantasm 3: Lord of the Dead. Discuss this theme here. Check out this essay written quite marvelously about the four films www.phantasmarchives.net/art_nightmarish.htmlMike is currently making his transformation into a Tall Man. He's having to battle himself as well as The Tall Man.

you got a point in OblIVion where Reggie has that dream where he's in the cemetary and someone puts a hand on his shoulder and it turns out to be Mike

Yeah I can see that. We see Michael beginning to be influenced by the Tall Man, we see what the T.M. has already transformed Jody into, and we see Reggie growing older...(I remember wondering: when Reggie uttered "I'm getting too old for this s**t", could that have been a blooper that they decided to leave in the film since it worked so well? since he says this right after falling on his ass in a way that sort of looked accidental. )
There's also the transformation of the Tall Man's hands into the scorpio-reptilian critters...and the swerve of Rocky's being independent and even an enemy to Reggie to being a friend and then in the end back again to going solo - or possibly she's even a "Morningside Minion" as discussed in the "Rocky" thread.
