Death And Life On Palm Island
Death is the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain an organism. For organisms with a brain, death can also be defined as the irreversible cessation of functioning of the whole brain, including brainstem, and brain death is sometimes used as a legal definition of death. The remains of a former organism normally begin to decompose shortly after death. Death is an inevitable process that eventually occurs in almost all organisms. Death is generally applied to whole organisms; the similar process seen in individual components of an organism, such as cells or tissues, is necrosis. Something that is not considered an organism, such as a virus, can be physically destroyed but is not said to die. As of the early 21st century, over 150,000 humans die each day, with ageing being by far the most common cause of death. Many cultures and religions have the idea of an afterlife, and also may hold the idea of judgement of good and bad deeds in one's life (heaven ...

Tall Man (Phantasm)
The Tall Man (Jebediah Morningside) is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the ''Phantasm'' series of horror films. The Tall Man first appeared in the first ''Phantasm'' in 1979, and his most recent appearance in the film '' Phantasm: Ravager'' in 2016. In all of his film appearances, the Tall Man has been portrayed by Angus Scrimm, while he is voiced by Jeff Bergman in ''Mike Tyson Mysteries''. Creation and conception According to Don Coscarelli (director of the first four ''Phantasm'' films), the idea was to create a horror film about a boy inside a funeral home because he thought the way Americans handled dead bodies was mysterious. Angus Scrimm was chosen to portray the main villain because when Coscarelli and Scrimm worked together in a previous film, Scrimm was able to frighten a child by just staring at him while raising one eyebrow (this action later becomes one of the Tall Man's most iconic behaviors). Coscarelli also got the idea to feature flying sph ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
