Tim speaks about the lurkers after he and Reg bury the invaders in the yard. What are these lurkers? I have always thought that they were sentinel spheres, since we see one outside of the window a few moments later. Then today, it dawned on me. How could a sentinel sphere dig up a body for reanimation? Could lurkers be gravers or even other zombie creatures?

I always assumed that by lurkers, he meant gravers. Having not seen Phantasm II, I suppose Tim just wasn't up to speed on terminology. Someone get that boy a copy of P2 on R1 DVD. Oh wait.

Well, since he is alumni and all, I'm sure that he has some top secret R1 DVD that has yet to be seen by us mere fans.

Actually, I believe Kevin the actor saw P2 while filming P3. I can assure you he has no secret R1 P2 DVD. He doesn't even have the new P3 DVD from Anchor Bay. Alumni. They don't get the perks you'd think they would. It's strange.

I find it pretty sad that the actors that appered in the film have to purchase their own copy.
So, if the lurkers were indeed gravers, why didn't they break into the house and attack Reg and Tim? Did The Tall Man have a more calculating plan in mind (obviously since he did catch up to them at the mortuary). Every incident in these films plays out like a game of chess, each side making their moves trying to catch the other off guard.

I think the lurkers/gravers probably saw how handy Tim was with a pistol and kept their distance. And not just the pistol, but axes and razor-bladed frisbees as well. I mean, the house was bobby-trapped.
Lord knows who all saw their grisly end at the hands of Tim.

I've wondered this myself. Well we can assume that they're either gravers, dwarves, zombies, or something entirely different. That really doesn't narrow it down any though. Haha. Personally, I'm just going to go with gravers since the makeshift graves for Edna, Rufu$, & Henry were dug up. Wikipedia says that they're dwarves but we all know how accurate...or inaccurate Wikipedia can be. It's a fact that Sentinels & Spheres are the same thing, however. Maybe they didn't disturb Reg & Tim because they wanted them awake to find the pink hearse & bodies gone. Mind games. We all know the Tall Man loves a good game.
