Viewing Notes

Today was a special day. The event: Terror in the Aisles 2. The place: Portage Theater Chicago. Three horror films, three special guests, ONE CHICAGO PREMIERE. Fucking Incredible Night. And one I’ve been dreaming about for 3 years.

First up was The Evil Dead. Special Guest Q&A after the film: Tom Sullivan, who did the special effects. Have never been too crazy about this flick and hadn’t seen since college but a whole lotta fun w/this audience. Amusing to see Raimi’s ‘73 Oldsmobile Delta 88 after having just seen it in Drag Me to Hell.
