Despite my blog's tag line of Evil Dead, Lego, Robots and Zombies I don’t write much about them. I’m going to change all that and dedicate a post per month about the geeky things I love, also growing up as a geek.
I wasn’t aware of Evil Dead 1 & 2, maybe it was so obscure my local video store didn’t carry them. It was the cover of Army of Darkness that caught my attention as I browsed the new release section but the tagline of ‘Trapped in Time, Surrounded by Evil, Low on Gas’ made me take the box off the shelf to read the plot synopsis on the back.
All it took was one viewing for me to be hooked on the Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell awesomeness.
The only problem with being a fan of Evil Dead since the early 90s was rebuying the trilogy. I owned all three on VHS but with the introduction of DVDs as the next media format, movies were being released with bonus material. So I waited for the special Necronomicon edition of Evil Dead before buying it. Same with Army of Darkness, the Boomstick Edition with the alternate ending.
When I owned a PC computer, I used the sound of Ash’s mechanical hand as the start up. For the longest time I used Ash’s maniacal face from Evil Dead 2 as my avatar on social media sites. Evil Dead or Evil_Dead_71/1971 was my nickname when I played multi-players FPS.
When City of Heroes added catchphrases I used ‘Good, bad. I’m the guy with Energy Blasts’ and would have it triggered on a power that dealt the most damage.
On my left wrist is a tattoo of a shotgun, on my right is a chainsaw.
Of course I follow Bruce Campbell on twitter.
Thank you Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell for providing me with quality entertainment that has only gotten better over the years.
