So
after waiting in line nearly five hours to meet Bruce Campbell
and get my Evil
Dead poster signed by Ash himself, I had one more major
mark to check off of my agenda, to get the poster signed by
the rest of the Evil Dead cast. So with poster in hand I made
my way over to the Ladies of the Evil Dead and to Hal Delrich’s
table.
Jareprime: Hey all, nice to see you again.
Ellen Sandweiss: You back again? I know you got your poster
signed yesterday.
JP: That was just of you three lovely ladies, now I have
something different.
Betsy Baker: Aww lovely isn’t that sweet.
JP: Of course it is, I’m a true gentleman.
BB: Oh I can tell. What have you got for us today?
JP: An Evil Dead movie poster I would like all of you to
sign please.
Sarah York: Well since you said please.
Hal Delrich: What’s that big smear across the top?
JP: That’s the Bruce’s autograph.
HD: You can hardly read it.
JP: Hey I waited in line along time for that squiggly line
thank you.
HD: Yeah I can see the line.
JP: Do you go to many conventions Hal?
HD: I go if I get invited, but I hardly go on my own anymore.
Most of the times it’s on a reunion thing, like this weekend.
JP: Not into all the glamour huh?
HD: Nah, I’m realistic about it. I had a small part in a great
movie. I get the chance to come out once in awhile meet some
new friends see some old friends and look back on what the movie
was, a part of my past.
SY: Most people don’t realize that we are mostly just regular
people who happened to be in a movie.
JP: So you’re saying it’s not Ladies of the Evil Dead and
The Evil Dead all the time 24/7?
BB: No, I’m a mom who likes to bake cookies.
ES: Also, we get a lot of attention from fans, but Bruce is
always going to be the main draw.
JP: But your table has been doing great business. Plus you
have the best deal here, a signed Ladies of the Evil Dead poster
for $15, what a bargain!
SY: Can’t complain.
BB: Yes they have been moving really well.
JP: Betsy can I ask you something?
BB: Sure.
JP: Can you still do the laugh?
At this point Betsy cracked a huge smile bowed her head and
did the classic giggle from Evil Dead when she was on her knees.
I felt as giddy as a school girl and actually felt the hair
on my arms raise. My wife chimed in with That’s it.
JP:
Oh man that was so cool.
BB: Thank you.
JP: How many times do you get asked to do that?
BB: Sometimes always and sometimes never.
JP: I think that whole scene in the movie is just classic.
Have you guys heard about the reunion in the Kentucky woods
Anchor Bay is kicking around?
ES: I’ve heard a few things about it, nothing for certain though.
HD: But the cabin burned down, what are they going to do rebuild
it?
ES: It wouldn’t cost that much, it would be like an Evil Dead
festival.
BB: Would you come big guy?
JP: If I could afford it, but I think it would be a great
idea for a one or two day event.
BB: Maybe, I guess we’ll all see next year.
JP: Well ladies once again thank you and Hal nice to meet
you.
HD: You to bud, take care.
ES & SY: Bye, bye.
BB: Thanks and nice to see you again.
JP: You too, and thanks once again.
