Phantasm (1979)

This low-budget horror flick from director Don Coscarelli became an instant hit and spawned a series of sequels. The original was filmed around Oakland and Los Angeles, CA.

The Morningside Cemetery and mansion were filmed on the grounds of the Dunsmuir Hellman Estate at 2960 Peralta Oaks Court in Oakland. The gate to the cemetery is the actual entrance gate of the estate. It is open to the public Tuesday through Friday. See their website for more information.

Mike (A. Michael Baldwin) watches the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm) from across the street as he walks in front of the Wilcox Building at 2106 Main Street in Julian, CA.

The fortuneteller's house is located at 22840 Calvert Street in Woodland Hills, CA.

Mike and Jody live at 1232 Corsica Drive in Los Angeles.

Interiors of Reggie's ice cream shop were filmed at 1824 West Main Street in Alahambra, CA. (These scenes were deleted from the film)

In another deleted scene, we see Jody drive east down Main Street and go to "work" inside what is now Rabobank at 2033 Main Street in Julian.
