Before becoming the face of Australian horror, with his classics like Patrick and Turkey Shoot, Antony Ginnane, like many independent producers, decided to wet his filmmaking feet in the then lucrative sex film market and devised an ingenious plan to create sexploitation movies that would satisfy the Australian censors, while still being packed with America's biggest sex stars. The resulting works were FANTASM and FANTASM COMES AGAIN. Peekarama is proud to present the world Blu-ray debuts of both FANTASM films, newly restored in 2K.
