Still, there is a small group of users that often comes here I think FB and Twitter killed most of these boards today. Since Don created his own FB page, most people just follow him on FB. The Phantasm page has a lot of followers too. The other day they posted "boy" and instantly 1100 "likes" and 64 "shares". Also alot of people follow, Reggie, Bill, Mike and LeKat on FB. I think people still come on this board to see what's going on but some people don't like to chat. clicking "like" or typing "lol" is as far as they go. But I still follow this board and read old posts. True, but this board still gets pretty decent traffic. 115 guests today alone. The Archives does even better business than that. The shift is definitely toward social media, but we still have good visitation here. Just now, an Archives article was posted to the PC Facebook pages (3,575+ fans) and generated 180 clicks in the first hour alone. That's not too bad. We're nowhere near as big as the official page, but we're growing. I bet we'll have 4,000+ likes by the end of the year. I think it's good that Phantasm Community is represented both on Facebook and here, which is a massive repository of discussion and discovery for fans. 19,000 posts across 1,600 topics ain't too shabby!

agreed, i don't get to stop by the Community as often as i would like, but it is nice to come in and see what my fellow Phans have posted. i really appreciate "official" info that is passed along this forum as well as it seems posts on the official pages are slow or not at all. Dustin's behind the scenes and fun facts posts are great here as well as his Phantasm Archives, keep up the great work, it is appreciated!-Prymal

Dustin's website is actually the main resource for Phantasm phans out there. The official website hardly gets updated. A lot of info is outdated and even some links are broken. That's too sad. Anyway, I promise I will be more active from now on. I am working in a Phantasm project that would love to share with you all sooner than later.

I don't post a ton, but I still check in a couple times a week at least to see what has been posted. I don't do ANY social media of any type, and never will, so a discussion board to me is far more appealing and available than any content on Facebook or similar media.
Kitty's comment above about "something happening" to the board is relevant, too...I've seen a number of forums I used to look into and post on now again disappear over the last couple of years due to lack of traffic and migration to Facebook and the like. I hope that doesn't occur here!

Hi Phamily, I am new here. I found this board while Googling. I am 45 and have been an Phan for about 30 years. So, I am not new to the Phantasm movies and the Phantasy of living in Mike and Reggie's world, but I am new here. So, I am proof that this board will perk up ; One new member at least I have all the movies, and some merchandise. I just watched all 4 movies the other week and last night I watched the original Phantasm again. I love it and like I told Don Coscarelli on Facebook, Phantasm is more than just a horror movie. It holds a place in my heart unlike any other movie series. Although the Tall Man is terrifying and the world they live in is uncertain, part of me wishes I could be there with Mike and Reggie. It's weird. No normal person would want to wake up and find that Morningside is a reality and silver spheres are flying around, yet I want to be there by Mike and Reggie's side. They bring a calmness to the storm. They draw me in. Don is so good at creating a world full of danger yet draws us in like flies to a candle. Only we know we'll get burned, and that's Don's genius. Phantasm is here to stay. YES - I want PHANTASM 5 !!!
