Book Reviews of The Evil Dead Companion

Book Review: A Definitive Book For Evil Dead Fans!
Summary: 5 Stars

The cover is very impressive since it uses the almost actual look of the Book of the Dead in the movies. Not to mention the back cover where it gloriously shows two famous pics in the movie: Bruce as Ash in a promo ad and I think the scariest face I've seen in horror movie history (this is the one that made me lose sleep literally!), a Deadite Cheryl. The content really surprises me since I expected that the font are bigger to somehow trick the reader that the book is very extensive. It is and that thickness of the book is reasonable. The pictures become one of the most important aspect in the book. Where else can you find those rare photos? Not even the internet can supply that. A slight drawback for me is that the pics are in black & white. Though it really costs more if it is in color, it wouldn't hurt
for those who buy the book and eventually see the photos in glorious color. The contents are very informative, sometimes funny, that it really helps that author Bill Warren uses chapters
to segments the phases of how these gifted people (Raimi, Campbell, Tapert, etc) came up with this trilogy. It's really funny how they came up with various titles for The Evil Dead. I won't spoil it for you but I assure you the titles are out of this world! A great chapter is the synopses (or lengthy summary)
of three Evil Dead movies. Each chapter comes up with the one
Evil Dead movies with side comments to boot. What I'm saying here
is just a tip of the iceberg since there is much to dig for!
Frankly speaking, I think the book has to have a sequel, as the movie have, since I feel they have more to tell. But if the second one comes up short in keeping the readers read the book more, forget the idea. How about an all-out rarest of the rare Evil Dead photos book? Ok, I've done much dreaming here but it doesn't hurt to dream, does it?

You will never look at the The Evil Dead Trilogy the same way again once you've read this book!
