‘Evil Dead: The Musical’ Brings Deadites, Boomsticks And Gore to San Antonio

Published

on

Deadites are getting ready to invade The Cameo Theatre in San Antonio, TX. Not just regular old Deadites. These are the kind that love to swallow souls and belt out tune or two.

Evil Dead: The Musical arrives Oct. 2 and is going to bring more of the blood-soaked, broomstick weilding, Necronomicon driven goodness that fans of The Evil Dead trilogy love.

The story for those who are unlucky enough to not know what The Evil Dead is, follows Ash and a group of youngsters who head out to a cabin in the woods, to have a good time and maybe get some sugar. They stumble upon an ancient book of the dead and unintentionally unleash powerful Candarian demons who intend to make certain the group is dead by dawn.

Well these screwhead demons didn’t count on the fact that Ash,one of the baddest motherfuckers in the world, has other ideas and intends to put a boomstick and chainsaw in their sinister plans.

The musical is filled with all the best moments from the film, including hand dismemberment, pervy trees that just don’t take no for an answer and gallons and gallons and gallons of blood.

Gallons of blood will be used at Evil Dead The Musical

“We have 330 gallons of fake blood to throw on the audience and average about 30 gallons a night.” Jonathan Pennington, Evil Dead: The Musical, actor and producer said.

Those lucky enough to get tickets to the first few rows at the show, are the ones lucky enough to get totally covered in all the fake blood that is constantly being sprayed onstage.

The musical numbers really do go perfectly with the tongue-in-cheek nature of the films. Songs like “What The Fuck Was That,” and “Blow That Bitch Away!” are genuinely hilarious and are complete with Ash in full gear, holding a chainsaw and broomstick in classic Campbell poses.

“The trees might feel better, ask Cheryl, but the cutting off your hand is more gratifying and epic.” Pennington said, when asked if he would rather be faced with the pervy demon trees or cutting off his own hand with a chainsaw.

Evil Dead is a fan-favorite and something that is sacred in the genre. Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi really did manage to create some magic sorcery that no other team would have been capable of pulling off. So how hard was it to play a character as iconic as Ash?

Pennington humbly replied, “I study the legend himself, Bruce Campbell. He is my hero and I want to do him justice. It is a dream of mine to meet him. I think he would be happy with the show.”

Evil Dead: The Musical runs at the Cameo Theatre in San Antonio, TX from Oct. 2 to Oct 31. For more information and tickets, got to cameocenter.com. Use promo code “deadite” for a $10 discount off adult ticket price.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
