Fondly remembering Lawrence Rory Guy (1926-2016), the imposing, Grammy-winning American actor, author and journalist, born in Kansas #OnThisDay. He adopted the stage name #AngusScrimm as the unforgettable, indestructible (and 6 foot 4) mortician Jebediah Morningside, a.k.a. #TheTallMan in Don Coscarelli's creepy, surreal #Phantasm (1979), reprising the role in four sequels between 1988 and 2016 while stealing scenes in various other genre films.

My brother introduced me to #Phantasn when I was a teenager. It was one of those rare films which kept me immersed in the storyline, frightened and thrilled at the same time. The name #AngusScrimm caused me to think the actor was almost as mysterious and terrifying as the ghoul he portrayed!
On March 28, 1979, Phantasm debuted in the United States. Here’s some Tall Man art to celebrate!

@ImmortalisHorror #AngusScrimm was so good at playing such a creepy guy but was the nicest guy in real life I met him at a horror convention
