Totally concur regarding early Sam Raimi's palpable joy in movie-making. Two of my favorite cornball movies are Army of Darkness and Darkman, Raimi classics. I tried to watch Evil Dead many years ago, and gave up after six or seven lines of dialogue because it was so agonizingly stilted. I shall now try again and venture past that point, to where the actors evidently find their calling as chewers of scenery and each other. Thanks for resurrecting that piece!

Bruce Campbell is the king of weird horror movies. Gotta love him as Elvis Presley in “Bubba Ho-tep.”
