Phantasm

Liz Reynolds is a young woman whose psychic bond to Mike Pearson and the Tall Man manifests in the form of prophetic nightmares. Through this link, Liz pleads for Mike to find her, fearing that when her grandfather Alex Murphy dies, the Tall Man will take him. Transitioning to where the first film left off, the Tall Man and his minions attempt to kidnap Mike, however Reggie manages to save him by blowing up the house. Seven years later in 1986, the now 19-year old Mike has been institutionalized and fakes recovery to get released. That night, he visits Morningside Cemetery and exhumes the graves. Reggie shows up, trying to convince him that his experiences with the Tall Man were not real. However, Mike reveals the coffins are all empty and asks Reggie to help hunt down the Tall Man. Reaching Reggie's house Mike has a premonition where the Tall Man sets off an explosion that kills Reggie's family, seconds before it occurs. After the funeral, a convinced Reggie agrees to accompany Mike. Gathering supplies and weapons they hit the road, discovering abandoned towns, pillaged graveyards left in the Tall Man's wake and even a few of his traps; including the apparition of a naked woman. A gruesome encounter with a creature resembling Liz leads them to the town of Périgord, Oregon. Liz's grandfather Alex dies and her sister Jeri disappears during the funeral. Searching for Jeri, Liz escapes an encounter with the Tall Man and flees. The presiding priest, Father Meyers, maddened with fear kills the reanimation of Alex using a knife, but the corpse rises and kidnaps Liz's grandmother. The following day Liz finds a funeral pin in her grandmother's empty bed and the Tall Man psychically tells Liz to return at night if she wants to rescue her grandmother. Meanwhile, Reggie picks up a hitchhiker named Alchemy who eerily resembles the nude apparition. They find Périgord deserted and dilapidated. Liz arrives at the mortuary where she encounters Father Meyers who attempts to convince her to escape with him. Meyers is killed by one of the Tall Man's spheres, and Liz encounters the Tall Man himself; who converted her grandmother into one of his Lurkers. Liz manages to escape and finally meets Mike in the cemetery. That night the Tall Man abducts Liz in his hearse, before Mike and Reggie give chase. Liz is taken to the furnace room in the crematorium by the Tall Man's mortician assistants but she escapes, sending one of the assistants into the furnace. Mike and Reggie break into the mortuary and find the embalming room. While Reggie pours acid into the embalming fluid, Mike discovers a dimensional portal that requires a sphere to open. The pair split up to search the area, Reggie searches the basement where he fights a Graver and several Lurkers with a chainsaw and a shotgun; Reggie castrates the Graver to death and guns down the Lurkers. Mike saves Liz from a silver sphere which subdues the other mortician. A larger gold sphere emerges and begins to chase Mike and Liz. The surviving mortician manages to escape by cutting off his own hand. Dodging the gold sphere's advanced arsenal including scanners, lasers, and spinning blades, Mike and Liz barricade themselves in the parlor. The surviving mortician assistant returns and almost kills Liz before the gold sphere blasts through the door and kills him with a buzz saw. Liz, Mike, and Reggie reunite and use the still embedded silver sphere to access the portal. Before they can destroy the building they face the Tall Man, and pump him full of the acid-contaminated embalming fluid, which causes him to melt. The trio escape the building after setting it on fire. They're greeted by Alchemy who has procured an abandoned hearse. As they ride off Alchemy reveals herself to not be human, and the hearse swerves wildly then stops, ejecting Reggie. Mike and Liz, trapped in the hearse, try to convince themselves that they're dreaming but the slot to the driver's cabin opens, revealing the Tall Man. Hands break the rear window and pull Mike and Liz through.
