I'm waiting for the grass to dry enough to mow so I did some channel surfing. The Independent Film Channel is running the film.
The reason I love to watch this is that my best friend is in the film and my brother worked on the film. She was one of the sword swinging skeletons and he worked, behind the scenes, with the armor. For a long time he had several of the 'dead's heads', which were pretty cool to see up close. And talk about great Halloween decorations!
She will be here on Monday. I hope it runs, again, before she leaves because it's so much fun to hear them talk about the cast, behind the scene stuff and what it was like to work on the film.

(15,234 posts)I like horror films with humor.
I also love to watch the very early horror movies like Dracula, The Wolf Man and Frankenstein and the Hammer Films with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee but shows like 'The Walking Dead' feature far too much falling off limbs and gooey flesh and that just turns my stomach. Maybe I had a bad past life experience

When it comes to scary monsters, I'll take vampires over zombies any day of the week!

It was IMO the best of the "Evil Dead" movies.

(6,616 posts)I also know someone who worked on that film. And, he told me about another person who worked with him Somehow this person managed to get his hands on one of the Necronomicon props. It sits on his television.
"Excuse me lady, I'm afraid I am going to have to ask you to leave the store." There are so many lines in that movie!
I also met Campbell when he was promoting his book, 'If Chins Could Kill'. This was during the Gulf War. He strolled onto the stage and said, "First off, I wanted to let everyone know that they will be safe tonight, because Bin Laden has no idea who I am!"
