Or is that just the name of the mortuary and cemetery? In the original, Jody tells the bartender he was fooling around up at "Morningside". It seems to me that if the town they're in is Morningside, that wouldn't be specific enough. But in Phantasm II, the psychiatric hospital Mike is in is called Morningside. Is this a retcon or am I misunderstanding something?

I always thought the town was called Morningside too (does that make Jebediah the mayor or founder...?). But in the novelization, the town is actually called China Grove.

I'd say it's more likely that he's related to the founder. Maybe it's his brother.. or his father, or it could even be his son.

Or if you remember, the scene in which Jody is speaking with Reggie in the phone booth, I believe he says to Reg after saying, "Reg, we got one of 'em." "In Colton, in the groves". Ironically, there is a city of Colton on the outskirts of Los Angeles near San Bernardino, which is kind of an area in which Phantasm could've taken place, the suburbs.

Yes, because when Jody refers to "Foolin' around up at Morningside" to the bartender, he definitely means the mortuary & cemetery, not the town because the bartender replies, "the funeral parlor?" to which Jody replies, "cemetery".

I always thought it was the town's name because in Phantasm II Mike's a patient at the Morningside Psychiatric Clinic.

Yeah I assumed it was the town's name as well.

Here's something to think about...
If this Tall guy is real (we are talking P2 where in the beginning Reg doubts Mike's claim) why on earth would Mike be in a Psych clinic IN Morningside, where The Tall Man resides?

I thought it was possible that the clinic was actually part of the Tall Man's "game," to further undermine Mike's faith in himself and his belief in what he perceived. If so, it didn't work too well...

That's possible.
What if Reg were in such deep denial about the Tall Man existing that he put Mike in the Morningside Psych clinic to prove to himself that Tally really doesn't exist.

I live just down the road from Morningside in Edinburgh seen any dwarf creatures? Some of the local life around there certainly are on a par! As for the psych institute, I thought it was in the same town too. Presumably, they had not seen the Tall Man for ages they just stayed in the town and used the hospital there

Who knows if that sequence in the hospital even happened?
I always question whether or not things actually happen when I watch Phantasm movies. Very perplexing.

I love the hospital scene where Mike is telling the Doctor what he wants to hear and once he's done the Dr says "Be well Michael and remember it was all in your imagination" then Mike turns to leave and basically whispers " The f**k it was" ;D

How did Reggie get over the stab from Lavender girl alias Tall man. then a few minutes later after the tall mans fall in the shaft? later, he was consoleing Mike just like it was all a dream? Was the wound taken away as well as memorie from Reggie for some reason by Tall mans powers?
