FINALLY Some Truth Regarding 'Evil Dead 4'




During a new interview with Toyfare Magazine, Bruce Campbell finally gets sick of the "Ash" related questions and spits out a fireball of what appears to be the God-given truth.

"Look, let's cut to the chase because you keep dancing around it, " Campbell exclaims, "if you're talking about Ash coming back again., Sam Raimi has the best perspective. He says, 'Look, I can go back and do Ash vs. whoever whenever I want. I can do that when I'm 70; I don't have to do that now. Right now I'm on a fast, fat groovy rain in Hollywood.' And he's going to follow that, and he'll come back and to EVIL DEAD stuff when he's unemployed and living at the Old Director's Home."

IGN in the Ghost House

IGN talks horror with Sam Raimi's partner in crime, Rob Tapert.



IGN: Filmmaking today is much more clean and polished than it was when Evil Dead first came out. And we're now much more of a "meta" generation, consistently referencing back upon ourselves. Do you have a sense that we're losing the simplicity of what made horror legitimately scary ten or twenty years ago?

TAPERT: Over lunch, we were talking about Cloverfield. It was so simple, despite being a $25 million movie. But in another era, that was the simplicity of horror. Studios have never made the trendsetters. It's that gritty thing that somebody has to go make in order to get discovered. And it's not something that comes out of the development process. It's hard to develop a great horror project because it's somebody's single, crazy vision. That's what excites us. We're on a journey to seek out those people who are doing something kind of new.

EvilDeadChainsaws.com Website Going Offline



Posted over at Deadites:

Hi all; Just a quick heads up,

As EvilDeadChainsaws.com is no more, theres little point in paying for another years hosting & domain name for the website. The current hosting runs out mid october, so the site will likely go offline shortly after that.

If anyone wants to save/archive any of the photos/bits off there for themselves before it disappears, then I'd do it quicky before its gone.

EvilDeadChainsaws.com was a supplier to Evil Dead: The Musical.

Evil Dead Necronomicon - deviantART

Click to enlarge image:


This was a commission for an Evil Dead Necronomicon wedding guest book. I sculpted the front and back out of polymer clay and simply adhered it to the surface of a notebook. Painted and sealed with acrylic paint. The client wanted an exact replica of the book in Evil Dead 2. I couldn't find an image of the back of the book so I just winged it. This was a pretty fun project. I think it turned out pretty good - I hope the client likes it as much!

My Name is Bruce (Movie Review)

Bottom Line

My Name is Bruce
is a blissfully trashy Buce-Campbell/Evil-Dead-parody which will reward fans with an entertaining evening – and non-fans are probably going to avoid it anyway. :)

My Name Is Bruce #1 Review



The premise of this movie is amusing enough. Set in "real life," My Name supposes that a genuine monster is set free in Oregon. Fans of Campbell's actually seek him out to fight it, believing he is the badass portrayed in movies such as Army of Darkness. The possibilities for humor given Campbell's sarcastic personality are endless... but none of that is in this one-shot.

Army of Darkness Blu-ray Review

Click to enlarge images:


I can’t express exactly how shockingly impressive the opening twenty minutes of this Blu-ray release were. I came out of Evil Dead II pleasantly surprised and even impressed by the changes an HD transfer can make, but here it was in a whole other league.

Then, just as you are comfortable with how striking this clean up is, we cut to an interior shot and it all goes to hell.

Unlucky (although in Ash's case, everything is unlucky) issue #13 is here! In the past, dynamite has killed Ash, sent him to fight the Marvel Zombies, hooked him up with Xena, Freddy, Ash and Jason (not all at once)... so what do they have planned for this issue? Find out in August from writers James Kuhoric, Mike Raicht and artist Fernando Blanco!

The Real Evil Dead Chainsaw



I am skilled in chainsaw repair, so that is important. I found the real Homelite XL in a scrap pile, so it needed to be broken down completely, cleaned, oiled, and reassembled. There was too much work that could be videotaped, but I can explain the steps for everything later.

"I think this is a movie that will shock, horrify and amuse folks,” he says. “I want to mess with the audience’s heads, and this movie is gonna do that. Big time." Campbell also wants you to know that My Name is Bruce is not really a comment on his typically obsessed fan base. "99 per cent of fans are awesome," he says. "But there is always the remaining one per cent. So we decided to build the story of this around them.

Bruce Campbell Atones for Bubba Ho-Tep With My Name Is Bruce

Now that My Name Is Bruce is completely finished, the actor-director will be traveling with the movie to personally introduce the screenings. "I'm going to 22 cities, screening the movie and doing Q&A's afterward... basically just introducing the movie to the freaks." That will put him in New York for a screening at the Sunshine Cinema on Halloween night. "Most of the year I have to walk around wearing some kind of costume," comments Campbell. "I will be going as Bruce Campbell that night." But if he could have cast someone else to play him in this latest movie, who would he choose? That's easy: "Elvis Presley, of course."
