The Tall Man

Angus Scrimm as The Tall Man from Don Coscarelli's "Phantasm"

Angus Scrimm was born Lawrence Rory Guy onAugust 19, 1926 in Kansas City, Kansas. Before finding his carrer in acting he was originally a journalist, and wrote liner notes for many LPs and CDs for artists ranging from Frank Sinatra to the Beatles, as well as Arthur Rubinstein and Itzhak Perlman. His liner notes have been nominated 5 times for the Grammy Award, And in 1975 he was finally awarded the trophey (as Rory Guy) for his liner notes to Korngold: The Classic Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

The genesis of the story came to Don Coscarelli in a dream. One night, being in his late teens, he dreamed of fleeing down endlessly long marble corridors, pursued by a chrome sphere intent on penetrating his skull with a wicked needle. There was also a quite futuristic "sphere dispenser" out of which the orbs would emerge and begin chase.

Angus will be appearing at this years Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, KY August 15th —17th. We will also be at this years FNFF, so if you are in the area and will be attending the convention, be sure to stop by our table and say hi.
