CONNIE FINDS THERE’S “SO MANY HORRORS, SO LITTLE TIME”
What a choice to have to make. My favorite horror film? Do I go for the “creeped me out entirely” or “blood,gore and other fun stuff?”
After much sole searching (I just got in from the backyard and we have two dogs) I decided to go with the later. But this only brought up another set of ponders. Do I stick with American films or go international? I ran down the quick list and came up with three potential choices but finally I had to go with my heart and give the place of honor to that icon of Bad Taste, starring the King of Over the Top:
THE EVIL DEAD 2 starring BRUCE CAMPBELL.
For those of you who think swimming pools of gore, dismemberment and cheesey special effects (you can see wires the size of high tension cable throughout the whole thing) are the stuff of hilarity especially when paired with a super-annuated Walmart stock boy hero (Campbell) who reto-fits his arm stump with a chain saw in order to take on the, you got it, The Evil Dead, have I got a film for you! As the hero Ash would say… “Groovy.”
