Phantasm: Oblivion (1998)

Endurance, courage and stubbornness are the only weapons against an enemy who never stays dead. Don Coscarelli's "Phantasm IV: Oblivion" plunges deeper into the nightmarish saga of the mysterious Tall Man (Angus Scrimm), the sinister undertaker who has spent years waging a gruesome war on humanity, turning the dead into his army of hooded dwarf minions and deadly flying silver spheres. Mike (A. Michael Baldwin), struggling with the Tall Man's influence growing inside him, sets out on his own across the desert, traveling through gateways in time and space in search of the Tall Man's origins. Meanwhile, his loyal friend Reggie (Reggie Bannister), the shotgun-toting ice cream man, follows his trail, fighting off the Tall Man's forces along the way. As Mike uncovers a startling link to a 19th-century mortician named Jebediah Morningside, the Tall Man prepares his dark army for a final assault. Incorporating unused footage from the original 1979 film, it deepens the series' mythology in eerie new ways. Watch your back for those spheres.
