Gravers



Gravers are a group of undead human slaves controlled by the Tall Man in Phantasm franchise. They are not to be confused with the hooded dwarves, another evil creations of Tall Man.

The seemingly stronger type of Gravers is a Demon Trooper.

Short Description
These zombies were created from cadavers of recently dead people by the Tall Man through a secret process almost similar to that of the Zombie Dwarves minus shrinking body sizes. They too kidnap or kill people and spirited off their dead bodies to a hoary and dark dimension where the Tall Man awaits and adds them to his legion of the living dead.

Masked Gravers
These gravers are called Maskers because they wear gas masks and dress similar to miners. Their task is to simply dig up bodies of dead people from graves and bring dug up corpses to the Tall Man so he can later create either zombie dwarves or more of Gravers.

Lady in Lavender
First making her appearance not as a Graver, but as a female alter-ego form of Tall Man in the first Phantasm, she lures men to Morningside Grave, then kills them while having sex. When Reggie stumbles onto her during his fight against Tall Man and his evil dwarf minions, she takes advantage of Reggie's womanizing habit, and nearly succeeds in killing him. Reggie however, managed to survive.

However, in Phantasm V: Ravager Lady in Lavender returns as an independent being, as an advanced Graver with an ability to hide her true face and looking more human. During Reggie's constant dimension warping he stumbles into a mortuary, The Lady sneaks up behind him. Reggie, armed and high strung, turns around to see the woman who almost took his life 39 years ago once again stands before him (albeit looking a bit older). Reaching out her arm, she approaches to Reggie, apparently once more attempting to seduce and kill him. Just when she was about to kiss Reggie, he remembered being nearly killed by her in Phantasm, and the Lady's humanly appearance was blown and revealing her zombie-like true face. Reggie then proceeds to kill her with a shot to her head. When she died, she bled yellow blood.

Lady in Lavender is portrayed by Kathy Lester. She reprised her role in Phantasm V almost 4 decades later.
