Phantasm: Ravager

Trivia: The character Reggie was an ice-cream truck driver in the original film. Somewhat ironically, an actual ice-cream truck would frequently drive by the set blaring music, and was repeatedly a nuisance while filming.

Question: I am confused as to what really happened. Was the entire series of movies a fantasy of Reggie's like Mike said it was? Was the planet taken over by the Tall Man like the other reality showed? Or are we left to our own imagination on which reality was real and which was not?

Chosen answer: This film is infamous for its confusing to follow narrative, owed to the fact it was originally intended as a series of shorts rather than a linear structure. As it stands it is up to the viewer to decide, however the post credits scene seems to suggest one world is real as Reggie plays no part in the scene.
