Manwards Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 (edited) I don't know if anyone here is a fan, but I am a massive fan of Bruce Campbell, best known for his role as Ash in the Evil Dead Trilogy and Autolycus in Hercules and Xena. He not only does really great work, but he's got a wicked sense of humour (read his book), is very down to earth (he doesn't view himself as anyone special, just someone who works hard to make a living, a "working stiff" in his words) and has a great relationship with his fans. At CM4 this weekend, me and my cousin found signed photos of Bruce, and we were so excited our hands were shaking and our stomachs were rolling. Actually meeting him would be an incredible experience. I beg the organisers at Showmasters to do everything they can to secure Bruce for Collectormania 5 in May 2004. And to make it even better, why not have a showing of The Evil Dead, my favourite movie ever and one of the greatest horror movies ever created. After all, it was Britain that The Evil Dead was first released, and without the incredible business it did in this country it never would have become a cult classic all over the world. His site is http://www.bruce-campbell.com for anyone interested. Thanks, Edited October 7, 2003 by Manwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwards Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Tell me about it. I'd definitely have my Book of the Dead DVD signed, as well as his autobiography and a McFarlane Movie Maniac action figure, and probably something else as well. I'd spend like £100 just on Bruce, but hell it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanmarsh Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 i'd buy his autobiography if he was selling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwards Posted October 7, 2003 Author Share Posted October 7, 2003 Haven't you got his autobiography? While it didn't get a big release in the UK, you can still order it from Amazon or Waterstones. I just went into Waterstones and asked for it, they ordered one for me, I got it a week later. It's really good, informative and very entertaining. Make sure you get the paperback edition though, as it contains an extra chapter and a few other extras, which I didn't realise until it was too late...

Jangojohnny Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 It was for sale at the event and besides, I had to pay £35 for Dirk Bennedicts when I got it from him so it might be cheaper if you get it early AND you can say that you read it already...

SALEMSLOT Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Robert Englund is always welcome. After all he does play the finest horror movie character of the modern age!! Plus Bruce Campbell who plays the finest horror movie hero of the modern age!! Plus Nicole Kidman who has the finest ass of modern age!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwards Posted October 8, 2003 Author Share Posted October 8, 2003 (edited) i might buy it anyway! Definitely get it, just be sure that you specify you want the later paperback release, not the first hardback release, so you get the extra stuff.

Denzil Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I for one would love to meet Bruce Campbell at C5. I love the Evil Dead series and i think that he would be really popular at the event. I am also pleased that Robert Englund will be at the event as i have met him at a signing in my local Forbidden Planet shop (in Aberdeen, Scotland) and he was one of the nicest people i have met (i got him to sign my NOES DVD Box Set and my copy of Wes Cravens New Nightmare), he is very down to earth and never gets bored of speaking in his Freddy voice.
