THE EVIL DEAD and CHAINSAW MAID 2 - LEE HARDCASTLE CLAYMATION!
April 5th 2011 00:16
Evil Dead – The Musical. I had heard through the nasty grapevine of such a production, and my attention was recently drawn to a clip of the stage show. Yes, Ash and deadites dancing and singing live on stage. It’s an Off-Broadway production that features an audience participation section at the front known as the “splatter seats”. Whatever. I don’t care that Evil Dead 2 (1986) and Army of Darkness (1987) were both comedies, and I don’t care if the musical has songs called What the Fuck Was That?! I’m not watching one of my favourite horror movies turned into a troupe of singing dancing demons. It’s wrong. Just wrong.
Evil Dead - The Musical clip (just to rub salt in the wound):
I will, however, watch Lee Hardcastle’s inspired stop-motion animation. You may remember three brilliant claymation shorts made by Takena that I posted about three years ago. Well, Lee Hardcastle has recently completed his own awesome sequel to Takena’s Chainsaw Maid (2007). He's also made a series of claymation remakes, condensing cult classics down into 60-second shorts.
Hardcastle’s irreverent, graphic style I can really dig. No doubt a feature will be in the works before too long, Hardcastle’s a talented man indeed. But in the meantime I hope he does Alien-, Halloween- and The Thing in 60 Seconds!

How cool were they?! Visit his site here to watch more of his work, including 60-second versions of Eraserhead and The Exorcist.
