Cinephellas Flashback: Logan’s Interview with Bruce Campbell

As we’re sure you’re aware, Ash Vs. Evil Dead recently began its second season. We’re all huge fans of Mr. Campbell’s work, and we thought it would be appropriate to revisit Logan’s unpublished-on-Cinephellas interview with the legend himself.

When you hear “Hail To The King” you may think Heisenberg or even Elvis Presley, but there is one answer….Bruce Fucking Campbell. He is the one go-to actor that stays true to his craft and perfects many roles that can be viewed throughout film and TV over the past thirty years. I have had the opportunity to meet him numerous times at various Comic Cons and Horror conventions, but never had the chance to pick his brain one-on-one. As you could imagine when you talk to one of your biggest influences, it’s hard to keep your composure, and not look like a total “She-bitch.”

If you have been locked up the past year, then you probably haven’t heard of the return of Ash Williams on the Starz network in the show, Ash Vs. Evil Dead. But if you are like me, you have been patiently awaiting the return of Ash and all those horrid and grotesque deadites. Ash is probably one of the most iconic characters in horror till this day and it’s a huge deal that a character at this caliber is returning in a TV show.

I had the opportunity to view the first episode of the second season of Ash Vs. Evil Dead and it was nothing short of groovyyyy.  This is a series that doesn’t “play it safe,” and is splattered with gore and violence that goes straight for the jugular in the opening minutes of the episode “Home.”

Today, I got the pleasure to talk to Bruce Campbell about producing and starring in the Starz show, Ash Vs. Evil Dead, his previous Evil Dead films, and the craziness that has ensued over the past thirty years.

EXCLUSIVE: Logan chats with Lauren Elise!

If you look anywhere these days, you will see Clowns popping up all over the world, including in the recent news of Clowns luring kids into the woods of South Carolina. Is it all for fun or is there something deeper and sinister at play? Well, I blame it all on Stephen King’s highly successful book and 1990 film, IT. Was it the muse behind all of this madness or is there really something darker lurking in the shadows around us? With the recent craze of these terrorizing forces showing up all over the place, our deepest nightmares are becoming a reality. 2016 has really become the “Year of the Clown” in news and more importantly, film. We have had Eli Roth’s Clown, Rob Zombie’s 31, the IT Remake hitting theaters next year, and the newest haunting endeavor, Clowntown, that was inspired by clowns terrorizing the people of Bakersfield, CA in 2014. What makes these films so captivating is the keen element of independent film-making glazed with craftsmanship and in your face torment. Clowntown is another addition to this newfound craze and it’s nothing you should steer away from.

Today, I had the pleasure to interview that star of the film, Lauren Elise, who was quite excited about the release of this film.  We briefly spoke about independent film-making, her role in Clowntown, the trials and tribulations of filming, and the upcoming projects she has in place over the next year.

Review – Don’t Breathe (2016)

“Don’t Breathe” asks you to take sides with criminals who decide to rob an Iraq Veteran who has been dealt a terrible bunch of cards in life: he is blind and lost his daughter in a car accident. Of course, the two of the three criminals are given character traits and back stories for you to feel that what they are doing is completely justified. This isn’t anything new in Hollywood, sometimes it is fun to side with the bad guys and see what living life in sin is like for a while. Usually though, characters ride the wave of pleasure until reality smacks them in the face. In this movie, reality does more than smack our main characters in the face, it beats them over the head with it and takes no prisoners.

Review – Don’t Breathe (2016)

by Old King Clancy

Many people gawked at the remake to The Evil Dead, Sam Raimi’s influential no-budget horror classic seemed too lightening-in-a-bottle to work as a remake. But in the hands of first-time filmmaker Fede Alvarez, 2013’s Evil Dead proved itself a worthy reboot. However there were some who criticise the film for its shock and gore so in response, Alvarez follow-on was to be an original piece, focusing more on the tension than the gore and terrify the audience rather than sicken them.

Don’t Breathe is that response.
