Sometimes You Fail Your Chemistry

I Think None Of The Humor In The First Evil Dead Was Intentional. We Weren't That Sophisticated. We Got More Sophisticated With Evil Dead 2 And Army Of Darkness Where You Can Start To Manipulate The Audience A Little More, Having More Control Over The Medium Instead Of Just Trying To Figure Out How To Do It. I Suppose That's Pretty Normal With Any Craft. Every Carpenter Is Better 20 Years Later.

If You Don't Have Any Money And You Want To Make A Horror Movie, Take A Six-inch Wide Brush For House Painting And Dip That In A Bucket Of Blood, And Then Just Flick Your Wrist. You'll Get This Great Speckled Splash Of Blood, And It Will Cost You Nothing.

Unlike Most Actors, I Did Not Have A Horrible Childhood. Most Actors Have Had Miserable Childhoods And They Go Into Acting To Hide From Their Real Life. I Had No Problem Playing In The Woods All Day. People Just Sort Of Left Me Alone. I Think I'm Gonna Go Back To Those Woods.

You Can't Show Up On Set And Expect It All To Come Together. You Have To Have A Plan, Much Like How The Director Can't Just Show Up And Go, Well, Where Should I Put The Camera? That Is Gonna Determine How It Is Lit, You Should Have Already Been In The Room Looking At It Earlier, Pre-lit The Room, You Know There Is A Lot Of Prep That Goes Into It, So It Is The Same Thing With Acting. You Can't Just Show Up.

Such Is An Actor's Life. We Must Ride The Waves Of Every Film, Barfing Occasionally, Yet Maintain Our Dignity, Even As The Bulk Of Our Herculean Efforts Are Keel-hauled Before Our Very Eyes.
