Rapper Ice-T Shares Love For This Cult Horror Classic Franchise
Rapper and actor Ice-T posted a meme to remind people he’s a horror enthusiast like the rest of us. His list of genre credits includes Clinton Road and Leprechaun in the Hood. However, the 65-year-old used the post to prove he has been here for the mayhem since before most of us were born.
The photo in question showed an image that many horror fans clocked as the Tall Man’s weapon of choice from the Phantasm franchise. The caption read, “If you know what this is, we can be friends.”

Rotten Tomatoes Synopsis for Phantasm
“The residents of a small town have begun dying under strange circumstances, leading young Mike (Michael Baldwin) to investigate. After discovering that the Tall Man (Angus Scrimm), the town’s mortician, is killing and reanimating the dead as misshapen zombies, Mike seeks help from his older brother, Jody (Bill Thornbury), and local ice cream man Reggie (Reggie Bannister). Working together, they try to lure out and kill the Tall Man, all the while avoiding his minions and a deadly silver sphere.”
