Jebediah Morningside (Canon)

Summary
Doctor Jebediah Morningside, known more commonly as The Tall Man, is the main antagonist of the Phantasm series of horror films.

Morningside was once an ordinary mortician that studied the connection between the world of the living and the realm of the dead. When he finally managed to reach the world of the death, the Dr. Morningside known would be gone forever. When he returned, Jebediah was an unnaturally tall, all-powerful, alien-like being with godlike powers that sought to kill the innocent, re-animate their corpses and turn them into his slaves to ultimately take over any world he comes across.

When returning to Earth, The Tall Man found resistance in the form of Mike and Jody Pearson and ice cream vendor Reggie. Over the course of the movies, Jebediah constantly messes with these three and their friends during their battle for the fate of the world.

As with many horror movies, the ending doesn't turn up very well, with the Tall Man winning at the end of the fifth installment after succesfully turning Mike into a copy of himself and Jody into one of his trademark Sentinel Spheres, becoming effectively undefeatable with a duplicate of himself with equal power on his side.
