I speak of course about bringing someone over to the Phantasm universe who hadn't known of it's existence.
I have successfully converted a couple of people, namely my own brother and even more so with my girlfriend. In fact, she will be going to Chicago with me this June!
Who have you guys shown the light to? Any good stories?

'Fraid not. I think I once reintroduced the series to a friend of mine, but he said that he still thought it was a weak franchise (Although he now has more of a respect for the music score, which is why I wanted him to watch them in the first place

It hard to with the people living by me. They are all teens, of course, and they are only interested in all the "new" stuff. I try to get people interested in the classics, but they just don't care.

Unfortunately, I haven't converted anyone to the series. I only have one friend around here that likes the series but he knew of it years ago.

I tryed , I tryed.....I went to see it at least 2 times a month from 79 till 83 or so. I wore all my friends and girlfriends out on it . It got to the point that I just went to see it by myself. Everyone always liked it but after about 3 times I couldnt get them back. Or after going out if I wasnt to sleepy Id stop in the Mid-Night Drive-In showing and watch it alone. So.....It was just me and my 'Cuda mostly.....aaaa who needs them anyway Phantasm Phandom can be lonely. But Im one of the lucky ones , I was able to get my Phandom under control before it started to effect my work and my family life

Got my mate Sam hooked. He watched them all one after another. He was well impressed! Other than that, not a lot of people I know like horror. Crazy fools

I got my friend to watch the first movie, he said it scared him, then the next weekend he came over and we watched the other three. I don't know if he's a phan or not, but he's seen all the films.

Not yet. Must work on it. There's a cousin who could become a great Phan, he got potential. Must work on that.
