Evil Dead takes Korea
South Koreans soak up the gory Canadian hit musical with unprecedented zest, especially the women

Where are they going to "Do the Necronimcon" next? Well, producers from Shanghai, Hong Kong and Tokyo are all heading to Seoul in search of the next big thing . . .

It would certainly be cool to see a Korean take on Ash! Of course, I've still gotta check out the Toronto show before it ends!

Evil Dead has 90 per cent women most nights, sometimes more."

Evil Dead has 90 per cent women most nights, sometimes more."

And I'll bet somewhere around 80% of that 90% would think the original movie was either too intense or too stupid if you showed it to them. But stick a couple of hot guys on the stage . . .

An Evil Dead musical Now that I would have paid to watch

The highly popular Splatter Zone, several rows close to the stage that get drenched in blood, still sells out first, but because the theatre is a government-owned building, the management has to be careful not to damage it permanently.

And so the free-flowing spigots of blood no longer spray over the audience. No, now the Zombies rush into the Splatter Zone in person, squeezing blood-drenched body parts over their screechingly delighted victims.

Ok. maybe not on one of the first rows though

Anyone remember Gallagher? or his brother?

I must admit that I do!

Man, he is a dead ringer for Freddy Krueger in that picture... maybe before he got (nearly) all his hair burned off. I get really disturbed looking at that for more than 5 seconds
