Phantasm had a bunch of random characters thrown into the mix who never showed up ever again, namely: Myrtle, the Pearson's housekeeper, and Toby, Jody's friend. We pretty much know Myrtle's role in the Pearson's life. She was their housekeeper who was probably there when Mr & Mrs. Jody Pearson were still among the living. She probably had far more scenes in the movie that we will never see. Toby, however, I see no point in the story where he could have had more scenes. He's apparently a member of Jody & Reggie's band, but he shows up as an exposition device. Maybe he was supposed to show up during Jody and Reggie's jam session on the porch and his scene just got cut. I'm wondering if Tommy was the drummer and if Toby was the bassist? ?

Both roles were, to my knowledge, cameo nods to real life friends, and not roles created for the plot (though I could be wrong--to date, I still have never seen the P1 script). Myrtle was the real life housekeeper of Don's parents. Toby was the school (high school?) friend of Don Jr. Good question.

Thanks for answering my question. I really appreciate it.
