Evil Dead the Musical

I mentioned the other day that when Dave sent me a copy of the movie Special he also sent me a music CD.  It’s the soundtrack to the Evil Dead, the Musical.  I am, of course, a huge Evil Dead fan (I used to say Sam Raime fan, until I saw what he did to the last Spiderman movie.  Poor Peter Parker) and own all three movies (special collectors editions, with the rubber Necronomicon cover that scream when you press the eye).  Evil Dead 2 is my fav, but all three have something worth watching.  For some reason, I can only find Army of Darkness shirts like this one from the horror movie t shirt section.  Weird.

Anyway, I listened to the CD yesterday.  It’s funny, but not great if you know what I mean.  I love the soundtrack to Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, so it’s not that I hate musical theater, but somehow it’s just not that funny.  Too obvious, and way too upbeat for the Evil Dead in my less-than-humble opinion.

Anyway, it’s still  funny, but it won’t make it into my regular music rotation.  I am having a much better day today than yesterday.  No parking tickets, no getting my ass beat in Warhammer (last night’s game was a little on the painful side), and getting a lot of work done.  Good day all around.
