Tall Man Creatures

The Tall Man Creatures are peculiar insects that form out of the Tall Man's removed body parts. They are extremely resilient and like him, contain yellow blood.

Phantasm
A Creature is first seen when Mike traps the Tall Man's hand between a heavy door in the Morningside mausoleum. He uses a knife to slice the Tall Man's fingers off and takes one home in a box to show to Jody as evidence. Later when Jody wants to take it to the sheriff, Mike notices the box is no longer moving and opens it, causing the Creature to fly out and hide in his hair. He's able to grab it and run downstairs, though the Creature puts up a good fight. Both him and Jody wrestle it to the garbage disposal and stab it in there, seemingly killing the Creature.

After Reggie comes in, the Creature bursts out again and Mike and Jody have to force it down again, this time properly dismembering it.

Phantasm II
After Mike attacks the Tall Man with a Sentinel, the latter grabs him and one of the Creatures emerge from the hole left by the drill to rip Mike's face. Mike grabs the Creature and pulls it out, throwing it away. It's not seen afterwards.

Phantasm III: Lord Of The Dead
Reggie deactivates a Dimensional Fork by placing his hands on the pole, thus cutting off the Tall Man's hands, which immediately become empty husks. Two Creatures attack him, Mike, Tim and Rocky. One is shot by Tim and the other is burned.
