I watched Ash vs. Evil Dead with my parents when it aired, not because they had any interest in it — they had never seen an Evil Dead movie — but because they had Starz and I’m cheap. Although they’ve always been supportive of my interest in the genre, neither of them watch horror movies. My mother is particularly averse to being scared, despite having read every Stephen King book.
Through the violence and bloodshed, however, she found herself enjoying the show and, like so many, fell in love with Bruce Campbell as antihero Ash Williams. I was pleasantly surprised that my sainted mom, at age 66, agreed to join me at Bruce-o-Rama when it came through Beverly, Ma at the Cabot Theatre on April 16.

Bruce Campbell: Horror icon. Self-proclaimed B-movie actor. New York Times best selling author. Consummate convention headliner. Game show host. Touring act?
Campbell is hitting the road this spring for Bruce-o-Rama, a 22-city tour in which he hosts the pop culture game show Last Fan Standing before introducing a screening of one of his classic films. “It’s hybrid entertainment!” Campbell tells me.
“We’re kind of mixing it up here. I’ve toured with a game show before, Last Fan Standing, and I’ve toured with Evil Dead movies, but we never really mashed them together. It gives folks a little more bang for their buck and breaks things up a bit.”
Last Fan Standing was originally created by Steve Sellery as a military trivia challenge before Campbell suggested a pop culture version. The result is something like Jeopardy for film geeks, with Cambpell serving as a sardonic yet affable answer to Alex Trebek.
