Happy Birthday to Timothy Patrick Quill!

Just wanted to wish a Happy Birthday to one of the funniest guys I've met in the semi-recent past, mister Timothy Patrick Quill! You might remember him as the blacksmith in Army of Darkness. Other films Tim has appeared in are: Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except, Spider Man and My Name Is Bruce. His IMDB doesn't have a lot of information, but here it is.

Tim's one of those guys you really wish you had as a neighbor. If he were my neighbor, we would be bbq'ing every week. He's so hilarious and tells the most awesome stories!

Cheers, Tim, you are one awesome dude!

ZomBcon meets it fate at the hands of zombie-killers?

Well, the small group of fans who've donated in the hopes of keeping Seattle ZomBcon alive are likely to be disappointed. With 52 hours left, the organizers are well short of their goals and no hope in sight. I've tried to get the word out, but I suppose my personal network of friends only goes so far.


ZomBcon organizer Ryan Reiter has gone personally in debt trying to keep this thing going, yet things don't look promising for the awesome con that brought awesome celebs like Bruce Campbell, George Romero, Malcolm McDowell, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Sid Haig and Sam Trammell.


The saddest thing about this situation is that I'm sitting here thinking about all the awesome friends I've made at the past two ZomBcons. I'm going to miss the excitement of meeting new people with similar interests. I'm also going to miss having a reason for my friends to travel to Seattle. Heck, I'm going to miss having an excuse to spend a weekend in Seattle.


While I haven't completely given up hope, it just doesn't look good. If you are into zombies or horror or cons or anything of the sort, please check this out. You can help save ZomBcon by donating here. I can't offer any bribery or anything, but check out these awesome photos from ZomBcons past and just imagine how much fun Bruce Campbell doing an Evil Dead wedding must have been!

Intruder

Happy Monday, everyone!

Today's selection from the awesome obscure movie vault is Intruder. This film features some of my favorite people: Danny Hicks, Ted Raimi and Sam Raimi, with a Bruce Campbell cameo for good measure. Don't blink, you'll miss him!

The premise behind this one is...

Creepy douchebag is harassing the employees of a local grocery store...

Starts a huge scuffle...

And may still be lurking in the store...

That's when people start dying...

This film really has it all. Not only is this one of the very few examples of Sam Raimi (above, on the meat hook) acting, but Danny Hicks is amazing! It's got plenty of suspense and an equal dose of gratuitous gore. This film will keep you watching as you try to determine who's killing who. Intruder rates a 5 out of 5 on the obscurefilm-o-meter.

I'm not going to give away where the Bruce Campbell appearance is. You'll have to look for him yourself.
