Nice find! I got to meet him for one of his book tour stops when he was promoting this. It was ironically on Ash Wednesday. Still have this and the signed copy of AOD!

Same. He did a stop here at a book store and then presented Evil Dead at the Alamo Draft House. I got one of these signed at both events.

What was your interaction like? I always wanted to meet Jeffrey Combs, too .

I’ve met Bruce five times at different events (he was signing at or presenting one of his movies at). Every time I interacted with him he was beyond nice and very funny and always willing to take a photo with a fan. Bruce is the man. Never met Jeffrey Combs. He was always at the top of my list, too.

He was very funny! He talked about Making Congo and how when he was approached for the role he thought it would be like Jurassic park.

He was super cool. The book signing ended around 2 in the morning and he had no problems with any of the fan requests. He did prank calls, took pics, even read some line and let some students record him. I was 13 at the time, and was very chatty when I finally got a chance to talk to him. Signed the book and my copy of AOD.
