Thanks a lot! I'm truly glad that you liked it!:) Otherwise, I can't able to forgive myself...like to do any kinda injustice with this great challenge.
As we all love this timeless vintage of Raimi (personally I always hold an extra emotional attachment with this film...as it was my first viewed horror movie), so I was pretty excited as well as quite worried about how to manage this seems to be 'easy' but sophisticated job.
Besides all my routing office duties..the whole yesterday I was basically kept myself busy to conducting an 'extensive' research about the horror films & the actors of that time period. Because you may know that I have seen very few classic horrors so far...and particularly about the late 40's & 50's..I have seen only the Hitchcock films & 2 films of H.G Cluzot:
Quai des Orfèvres & Les Diabolique... So I just went through some trailers on youtube & some online articles about the 40's & 50's horror to get an idea about the films & the actors of that great decades.
And yeah...I also figured that
Lancaster and Douglas weren't the horror icons at all or regular actors of this genre but it was somewhat tough task for me to find more suitable actors for those roles. I was just looking for some young, popular & good looking actors & actresses (sexy also:D ) for the roles.
As they (
Lancaster and Douglas) were almost newcomers on the industry at that time so I think I can easily manage to get them into the project as I'm
a great producer-director with lots of cash to spare;) and obviously with the great back up from the studios. And with the solid budget Why not to make a great team of talented 'behind the scene' people to make it a ultimate success in the history of Horror cinema.
Uncle Orge character was just an imaginary creation of mine to cope with the tone of horror films & stories of classic ages. But mainly the image & popularity of Mr. Karloff have always played an influencing part in my subconscious mind & just forced me to make a fine place for him in the '1949 Original' version of
THE EVIL DEAD which
Sam Raimi remade on 1981.:D :D
