Danny Phantasmic
Danny Phantasmic is an eccentric British guest cultural correspondent and folk-horror film analyst for Barely Informed News.
Overview
Retained by the network specifically for theatrical trailer reactions and macabre cinematic analysis, Danny Phantasmic describes himself as “a little guy” characterized by a clipped British dialect, disproportionately oversized hands, and a massive tongue that he struggles to conceal while speaking.
During his live video dispatches, Danny provides running commentary on horror cinema—such as dissecting the folk-horror film Wicker—frequently drifting off into bizarre musical tangents, such as freestyling original verses over Queen’s “We Will Rock You” and recounting the time he performed “Bohemian Grove Rhapsody” for an affluent relative.
