| | Posted: | | | | I posted this at another forum ( dvdcollectorsonline.com) after talking about it during our month long horror marathon... and thought I would share it here as well... As I said during our month long horror marathon... when I bought the Evil Dead: Book of the Dead release there was a leaflet in there asking us to go to a page on the Anchor Bay website to take a survey about what we thought of the release. I was a bit bored a couple days after I got the release... so figured what the hell and went to take the survey. After the survey there was a message saying Thank you for taking the survey... you have been entered in our drawing. I pretty much just thought... yeah... ok... and forgot about it. About a month to a month and a half later my mother called me at work saying that a huge package was delivered to me. Asking me what I ordered now.  I told her I wasn't expecting anything but would check it out when I got home. From that point on I was watching the clock at work.  When I got home the first thing I did was detach the letter that was attached to the box. And read that it was from Anchor Bay saying that I won the grand prize of their drawing. Needless to say I was really excited and couldn't wait to open the package And it turned out to be a wall hanging of the artwork of the Book of the Dead and Autographs of all the stars as well as the artist that designed the Book of the Dead. It went on to say that there is only 26 in existence... and that most of those went to cast and crew... that only 5 went out as grand prizes. You can see on the top right hand corner of Tom Sullivan's autograph that I got #5 of the 26. Here is a close-up picture of what I won that a couple of you asked for.  As you can see the bottom signature has come loose and I haven't found a way to open it to fix it... but you can get a pretty good look at it now. So... What do you think? | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | WOW... Congratulations! It's a beautiful thing. :-)
I've always loved the Evil Dead films. Evil Dead 2 was filmed locally to me and I got to visit the set and see the world premiere of Evil Dead 2. Forgot Hollywood premiers, Bruce Campbell in a white sequined tux dancing down the asile throwing magician flowers to women in the crowd is good times. :--) |

| | Posted: | | | | Heck Yeah! More than 20 years later it's still a memory I treasure. I've met a number of celbrities since then and only Lewis Black has come close to be a geniunely a good guy in peron as Bruce Campbell was.
I enjoy almost anything he does. He's allso one of the two TV actors I was able unreservedly buy into as the "true selfless hero" for his work on The Adventures of Brisco County Jr." (The other was Scott Bakula on Quantum Leap) He could spout the corniest lines and still make you believe HE believed them. |
