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!

Dark Horse Comics presents a trade paperback adaptation of the film, collecting the four-issue mini series. Written by Mark Verheiden with art by John Bolton, the book takes fans on a journey back to that the run down cabin in the wilderness where evil awaits.
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.
How did this happen? How did a low-budget schlocker that made bugger-all when it opened in 1987 finally get its own Empire cover?

Starting in October and running through the New Year will be Bruce Campbell's highly anticipated My Name Is Bruce (trailer) promo-tour! Mr. Campbell updated his official website with a complete list of dates and locations for the tour, so read on to find out if you're one of the lucky few who get to see the film first!
"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.
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."

“A lot of the people who follow what I do only want to see me do certain things,” he said, not complaining. Some of his fans, he said, want to know why his “Burn Notice” character, a low-key former F.B.I. operative, doesn’t have more fight scenes. “I’ve been trying,” he said, “but three or four weeks ago I was trying to kick a stuntman in the face and blew my hamstring. It was two days after I turned 50. I must have reached my expiration date.”
We've added multiple events where Bruce will be making personal appearances across the country. Including an appearance at Texas FrightMare Weekend - Star Wars Fan Days II & The Sci-Fi Expo October 25th.Please check the Events Page to see when Bruce will be in your area.

Producer Don Carmody and partners are in negotiations with Spiderman director Sam Raimi to bring to the screen the musical version of the former horror meister's Evil Dead films, Evil Dead: The Musical.
Conceived by George Reinblatt, Christopher Bond, Frank Cipolla and Melissa Morris, the camp stage interpretation of Raimi’s cult classic horror trilogy was originally mounted in Toronto and Montreal and has since gone off-Broadway.
Original directors Bond and choreographer Hinton Battle are lined up to co-direct the film version, which will be presented in 3-D.
After numerous delays, the new Bruce Campbell movie, “My Name Is Bruce,” has finally announced an October release date, but for comic book fans, the first taste of the long-awaited film will come a month earlier. A one-shot comic book companion to the movie, written by Milton Freewater, Jr. and penciled by Cliff Richards, is due out on September 24th from Dark Horse Comics.
Tobey Maguire will be back to play web-slinging super Spider-Man in the series' fourth big-screen installment — and director Sam Raimi will return to helm — Nikki Finke reported Friday (September 5) on her blog, Deadline Hollywood Daily. The news ends more than a year of hemming and hawing, denials, reversals and unconfirmed speculation.

MNIB is directed in an enjoyable, clean way. The photography is simple and lets you concentrate on the movie; pacing, lighting, editing, it all works perfectly. The performances are pitch-perfect, from the major characters to the minor, going for the comedy but rarely going too far.
Yes, it's true. This is your LAST chance to see Toronto's Favourite Show.Don't let the title scare you. It's the FUNNIEST show in Toronto and received unanimous 4 star reviews from the Star, Sun, Globe, NOW & EYE.

The final weeks are guaranteed to sell out, so be sure to buy your tickets now in order to get great seats for Toronto's longest running Canadian musical of the past 15 years.
Come and see the show EVERYONE is talking about. This is your LAST chance.
Here’s the deal on the band. I’m a big fan of Bruce Campbell and the Evil Dead films. I was paging through The Voice looking at all of the hundreds of bands playing at venues across the city. I thought to myself, a lot of these bands are probably pretty good, but if I didn’t already know who they were, why would I go see any of them. I WOULD be interested, however, if I saw a band that had something to do with something I was already interested in, like the Evil Dead films.
Ted Raimi (Spider-Man 3 SeaQuest DSV), actor and brother of Legend of the Seeker executive producer Sam Raimi, will guest star in an upcoming episode of the epic fantasy series Legend of the Seeker, it was announced today. The fourth installment, titled "Bounty," will showcase Raimi playing the character of Sebastian, a mapmaker skilled in the lost art of cartogromancy -- the making of enchanted maps. Sebastian, a sly and clever character, once served kings but now he has been reduced to selling his services to bounty hunters.

Gore just doesn't get any giddier than Sam Raimi's sequel-slash-remake (emphasis on slash), which finds average-guy Ash Williams facing off against the undead, armed with a chain saw and one-liners like ''Let's head down into that cellar and carve ourselves a witch.''
