Why isn’t PHANTASM 2 on Streaming?! (it actually is)

MYSTERY SOLVED - Is PHANTASM 2 on streaming services?

If there’s one question that floods our social media more than any other, it’s this: “Why isn’t Phantasm II streaming anywhere?” Horror fans from Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Reddit all echo the same frustration.

And here’s the twist: Phantasm II actually is streaming… it’s just trickier to track down than the other four films.

The Short Answer

The root of the issue is simple: Universal Pictures controls the rights to Phantasm II. That has always set it apart from the rest of the series, which circulate more freely on horror friendly platforms like Shudder, Tubi, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Prime Video, Apple TV, and Paramount+.

Because Universal handles things differently, Phantasm II doesn’t follow the same streaming rotation as its siblings.

PHANTASM 2 is a fan favorite and actually IS streaming! (right now on Peacock)

The Surprise

So where is it hiding? Right now, Phantasm II is available on Peacock. That’s right, while fans everywhere keep asking why it’s “missing,” it’s quietly lurking on Universal’s own streaming service.

But here’s the catch: it doesn’t stay in one place for long. Over time, it has popped up as a stand alone rental or purchase across multiple digital stores, often separate from the other four films:

• Amazon Prime Video from $3.79

• YouTube from $3.99

• Google Play Movies & TV from $3.99

• Apple TV from $3.99

• Fandango at Home from $3.99

So the answer to that eternal question “Why isn’t Phantasm II on streaming?” is a bit of a trick: it is streaming, but it moves around, and it’s often separate from the rest of the saga.

One of the most popular questions we get is why PHANTASM 2 is not available on Streaming! But it is!

For now, your best bet is Peacock if you want it as part of a subscription, or digital platforms like Amazon, YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, or Fandango at Home if you want to rent it.

But as usual the absolute safest is PHYSICAL media! You can browse Amazon for the DVDs and BLURAYS here. Like the uncut version below!
