The film consists almost entirely of fragments from the previous three films, presented as Mike's memories.
The film was shot in 23 days.
Due to the small budget, the film crew was unable to block off one of the widest streets in Los Angeles, which, according to the plot, was supposed to be deserted. Instead, filming was scheduled for early morning after Thanksgiving, and the street was actually completely empty for 10 minutes.
The reaction to the third film in the franchise, “Phantasm III” (Don Coscarelli, 1993), was mixed, and the reviews were quite critical. The director and screenwriter, Don Coscarelli, decided to move away from the emphasis on action and comedy and “return to the roots” by creating a low-budget “horror film” focused on the horrors and surreal aspects of what was happening – in the spirit of his film “Phantasm” (1978). On the other hand, materials from the original film that started the franchise, long thought lost, were discovered. The combination of these two factors predetermined the main features of the film “Phantasm IV: Oblivion.”
The scene in which Reggie Bannister’s character stops at an abandoned motel in the desert was filmed without the owners’ permission. In reality, the building looked old and incredibly dilapidated, but it was tidied up for filming.
While performing the stunt with the exploding police car, Bob Ivy suffered burns to his legs.
