RETRO REVIEW: The Evil Dead

The first Evil Dead film, is more of a showcase of the women than it is of Bruce Campbell. The most famous scenes from The Evil Dead all include the women. The raping trees, the pencil in the ankle, Linda's ridiculous laugh, the biting off the arm, THE CELLAR, the JOIN US, all of it, LADIES OF THE EVIL DEAD.

To put it simply, The Evil Dead is fabulous. It completely embodies everything a cult classic film should possess. It's creepy, it's funny, it's over the top, and yet it holds a place near and dear to our hearts.

Not Just Movies: The Evil Dead

The Evil Dead, Raimi and Campbell's debuts, took the horror community by storm when it at last hit wide distribution in 1983, two years after its completion and exhibition in Detroit and four years since Raimi started working on the project. Raimi secured the measly $375,000 budget with his short film Within the Woods, a 30-minute, $1,600 short film also starring Campbell that ostensibly served the same function as a television pilot: to attract investors for a full-length version. The rest, as they say is history.

The Day I Met Bruce Campbell

Click to enlarge image:

All Fan Boys Rejoice for the Slayer of Deadites

What a day to be a dork I tell ya. Lucky enough for me, I was visiting my girlfriend during one fateful weekend when I had received a phone call from my brother Joey. He asks, "Hey Bo, have you ever met some guy called Bruce Campbell?"

And, it just so happened the day that Bruce would be there, was my last day I was planning on staying in Florida. I was giddy as a lil bitch, not only would I be able to meet a cult icon, see my girlfriend and now my brother - but I'd also stand a great chance to get Bruce's autograph. Which in dork sense of the word, is like getting the pelt off an endangered species.

Here's an entertaining story of how one fan gets Bruce Campbell to sign his painting. It's 9 pages long, but worth the read.

Adaptation Analysis: The Evil Dead & Evil Dead: The Musical

Click to enlarge image:

It’s not uncommon for Hollywood blockbusters to take to the stage in a musical rendition (good example: The Producers; bad example: Carrie). For this Adaptation Analysis, we take a look at the classic horror film series The Evil Dead and its transition to musical theatre.

Few in the past would have thought that a horror film series, notorious for its over-the-top humor and context, would make for an appropriate bit of theatre — that is, until the concept of theatre was put onto its ear and forced to re-evaluate just what it’s capable of, thus opening the door for a hilarious musical with singing demons, dancing killer trees, and a blood splatter zone that would make anyone with a Sledge-o-matic jealous.

‘Legend Of The Seeker’ At Comic-Con 2009 On Thurs 23rd

The good news for Legend of the Seeker fans is that the series will have a presence at this years San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday July 23rd (exact time to be confirmed).

The bad news is that all four days of the Comic-Con are now booked out including July 23rd, so if you don’t already have tickets, then you’ve missed out on attending.

This year Sam Raimi’s new series Spartacus: Blood and Sand will also have a presence at Comic-Con. The cast of Spartacus: Blood and Sand includes Legend of the Seeker star Craig Parker (aka Darken Rahl) and so odds might be a little higher that both Sam Raimi and Craig Parker could make an appearance.

Evil Dead: The Musical - Charlotte, NC

Click to enlarge image:

Aside from the all-star Charlotte cast that makes you question what they’re doing in Charlotte, one of the best things about the play was the special effects — there was blood spurting out, talking decapitated heads, chainsaws cutting people up, and walking chopped off hands. And said Special FX make-up came compliments of Melissa Brown and Martin Berry.

But Evil Dead is only alive thru June 27, so be sure to go see it this weekend — it’s on Stonewall right up from the “Aquarium”
