Plot:
Tommy and some blonde in purple sneak off to the cemetery. The lovin’ would ensue had she not stabbed him with a knife
and morphed into the Tall Man.
Jody and Reg head off to a funeral. Mike, Jody’s younger brother spies on the funeral and spots some strange brown-robed
dwarves. After Jody and Reg are done with their pall bearing, from a distance, Mike sees the Tall Man lift the coffin into the hearse
by himself.
Later, Mike visits a girl and her fortune-telling grandmother about Jody. Mike knows that Jody wants to send him to live with
an aunt. He also tells them about seeing the Tall Man lifting the coffin. Putting his hand in a small black box let the Dune reference
ensue.
Reg and Jody are playing the guitar. Later at a bar, Jody picks up a blonde in purple. They head to the cemetery. Mike follows
them. He hears a strange noise and is chased by the dwarves. Jody catches up to him and can’t find the blonde.
Mike has a nightmare of the Tall Man as the disco Phantasm theme song.
