"Dustin McNeill's PHANTASM EXHUMED is a much-needed, long overdue tribute to these seminal films. Equal parts erudite examination and enthusiastic love-letter, this book provides an in-depth history and a wealth of obscure information that even the most hardcore fan will find fascinating. Engaging, compulsive reading. I highly recommend it " - Brian Keene, bestselling author of THE RISING, GHOUL, and THE LAST ZOMBIE
