I did. Army of Darkness as well. I like Sam Raimi's films quite a bit. The rest of them (for me) weren't nearly as terrifying as the first one.
If Bruce Campbell ain't in it, it ain't Evil Dead!
OK I've only seen your FReepname and have never pinged you before, but you HAVE to be interested in this story.

I wonder how they are going to do the raped by the forest scene?

"The hand was evil, so I lopped it off at the wrist..." Let's hear it for two former Michigan State students.
NOTE -- Are there any "celebrities" from Michigan State who actually graduated? Every time a famous Michigan State student makes the news, it's always as "former student" not "graduate." Sigh.
