The Tall Man
Background
The Tall Man is the mortician at the Morningside Cemetery and Mausoleum in Oregon. He is an alien and comes from a desert planet that uses Dwarf Zombies as slaves.
During the events of Phantasm (1979) played by Angus Scrimm
Lady in Lavender and Tommy are having sex in the Morningside cemetery. They finish and Lady in Lavender pulls out a knife and stabs Tommy to death and then transforms into The Tall Man. Later, The Tall Man grabs Jody and tells him that Tommy's funeral is about to begin. Later, The Tall Man chases after Mike when he sneaks into the funeral parlor, but Mike manages to get away after cutting off and keeping one of The Tall Man's fingers. Mike is grabbed by The Tall Man when he opens the front door. As The Tall Man is driving Mike back to the cemetery in his hearse, Mike escapes and shoots the tire of the hearse and it crashes and explodes when it hits an electrical pole. The Tall Man goes to Mike and Jody's house and chases Mike, who runs towards the mine shaft. The Tall Man falls down the mine shaft and Jody rolls large boulders over the mine shaft entrance. Later, as Mike is packing, The Tall Man appears and Mike is pulled into the mirror.
