Reggie Bannister, beloved star of the Phantasm movie franchise, has brought joy and inspiration to countless fans over the years. Alongside his devoted wife Gigi, Reggie spent many weekends traveling to comic and horror conventions, meeting fans, signing autographs, and sharing his passion for entertainment. These events were not only a source of joy, but also a vital part of their income. Unfortunately, Reggie’s health has taken a difficult turn. He is now facing the challenges of Lewy Body dementia and Parkinson’s disease, which have led to his move into in-home hospice care. As a result, Reggie and Gigi can no longer attend conventions, and their financial situation has become increasingly dire. Medical bills are mounting, and the cost of utilities and daily care is overwhelming. Gigi, who has promised to never leave Reggie’s side, is doing everything she can to care for him at home. However, she is now facing the very real fear of losing essential services, including the oxygen care that Reggie desperately needs. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward covering medical expenses, utility bills, and ensuring that Reggie receives the hospice care he needs in the comfort of his own home. Your support will help ease the financial burden on Gigi and allow her to focus on what matters most—being there for Reggie during this incredibly difficult time. To our Horror and entertainment community: A member of our family needs help. Reggie Bannister, star of the Phantasm movie franchise, is facing severe medical issues. Unable to see his fans at conventions, financial struggles due to medical expenses have greatly risen. Promising to never leave his side, Ms. Gigi Bannister needs our help in his at-home hospice care. My fellow phans and good-hearted members of our community, please help lend some assistance to this legendary horror icon in his battle with dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
