Dwarf Zombies
Background
Dwarf Zombies are the reanimated and shrunken corpses of humans used as slaves.
During the events of Phantasm (1979)
A Dwarf Zombie runs towards Mike, who then runs by Jody and the Lady in Lavender. Later, while Mike is working on Jody's car, he is almost crushed when the jack fails and he tells Jody it was the Dwarf Zombies. While Jody is in the funeral parlor basement, he is attacked by a Dwarf Zombie and shoots it. He runs away and the hearse starts chasing him with no one at the steering wheel. Mike drives up in Jody's car and picks him up. Jody shoots the hearse and it crashes into a tree. They open the car door and find a dead Dwarf Zombie at the steering wheel. Jody pulls back the Dwarf Zombie's cowl and it has Tommy's face. Back at the funeral parlor, Jody opens a door and finds a room full of black canisters with Dwarf Zombies inside of them. Mike walks towards a portal and is pulled inside. He sees a line of Dwarf zombies carrying canisters on a barren planet.
