I think I was sold on this book early on as I could identify with a lot of the "childhood" stories BC related here.

Of course, that wasn’t all bad, because we could round up their shredded carcasses and use them as casualties. It's no Lord of the Rings, but it's a must for B-movie fans everywhere and Bruce fans in particular. Campbell has a sense of humor about both himself and his movies but, at the same time, he also has a deep love and appreciation for indie filmmakers. They were cool, but unless you were Billy Jazinski, the spoiled rich kid down the street, there was a limit to how many you owned.

Genealogies appearing in book form usually begin with a great statesman, a renowned warrior, an illustrious divine, poet, author or reformer, and are so blended with fabulous detail as scarce to leave room for the supposition that the founder of the family ever had a father. To defend against attacking neighbors, we armed ourselves with cracker balls, rolls of caps, sparklers, balloons, squirt guns, sling shot rifles, rubber band shooters and the dreaded Ivory Liquid detergent bottles—the Super Soaker of their day. He and I wound up spending more time together than with Mike, six years our senior, but there were plenty of industrious summers spent as a threesome. More obscure offenses, like hanging around doorway, fooling with light switches, or Mike’s legislative masterpiece, squealing when I want to look at something Don or Bruce has, shot up to 10¢. He came to my high school because it was close to where he and Sam Rami would make 8mm films back when they were kids.

There would otherwise be no explanation for the 20¢ fine of taking something from me while I was looking at it, or the 40¢ whopper for damaging rocket controls. Our neighborhood had an epic feel to it, and this broad range provoked a sense of unlimited possibility. By all accounts he excelled—so much so, he caught the eye of an attractive secretary across the hall named Joanne.And the fun part is, that's not necessarily Bruce Campbell playing someone else – that could very well be Ash Williams.

This book is funny, informative and sometimes downright dangerous to listen to when driving home from work as you can laugh so hard you might fall out of your seat - thank goodness for seat belts. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused.

The dangers of fighting in her territory were twofold: running the risk of having entire platoons chewed to death or, even worse, mounting a frontal assault through scattered piles of dog dirt.

Mike once laid out detailed plans to raid Don’s left-hand drawer in his half of the room (that he and I shared) that included an overhead diagram, complete with escape routes and a comprehensive list of excuses to use if he got caught.

It's an entertaining read detailing the exploits of the man whom you'd think would be a lot richer and more famous than he actually appears to be. Campbell and Raimi collaborated with a 30-minute Super 8 version of the first Evil Dead movie, titled Within the Woods (1978), which was initially used to attract investors. Hercules and Xena fans will find plenty to enjoy in the later chapters and the addendum provides an insight into the difficulties of undertaking a book-tour in the aftermath of 9/11.
