| Theresa Tilly Interview | Page 1 : 2 |
| Do you own a copy of Evil Dead? If so, where did you get it?
The boys gave me a video of it after it was first cut together. As you can imagine, it's very poor quality. Did you ever sneak into the theatre when Evil Dead was released to watch the audience reactions? Truthfully, I just recently found out it was even showing in theatres! Besides Evil Dead, what is your favorite film? I LOVE High Fidelity, and of course, they do refer to ED in it! Theresa I have heard that your experience in making The Evil Dead was less than favorable. You know how women say, if you remembered giving birth you'd never do it again, it's kinda like that, I know it was bad, but I've kinda blocked out the pain! Do you still look back on the experience with bad feelings? I think the best part of being out there and meeting the fans and doing interviews is that I get to find the good part of this movie making experience. People really LOVE this movie, and because I was part of it, they pass on those good feelings to me. That has really been great and helped me forget the bad parts. Do you take pride in the fact that you were involved in something that thousands of people all around the world have thought to be one of the best and most innovative horror movies of all time? It's fantastic to be part of what is considered legendary, and to think that for the last 20 years I was hardly aware of it! Is it only thousands of people, I thought it was millions? Why do you think The Evil Dead has achieved such a fan following? Well, the fact that it was one of the first videos available has something to do with its cult status. Maybe it's the powerful monster women, how often do you get to see that? The filmmakers were extremely gifted and lucky for all of it to come together the way it did. Did you ever think this movie would be as successful as you originally thought it would (or however you thought about the movie)? I never thought the movie would see the light of day, the making of it was so gruesome and over the top it just didn't seem like it would be believable. And even when I saw it for the first time at the Redford Theatre, I thought it was pretty scary, but I had NO idea it would be such and extraordinary success. Have you seen all of Tom Sullivan's illustrated pages from the Book of the Dead? If so, which page is your favorite and why? That's what I'm going to do at our next convention. Look carefully at all the incredible things Tom Sullivan has done. The first time I saw him since the shoot was at the Detroit reunion in February. Each time we're together we barely have time for coffee because there's so much going on with the fans. But I know that he's done some amazing artwork and I plan on sitting down and really looking at it when we're at Flashback in Chicago. Has it been fun on the convention trail? Nothing like going through mid-life as a monster! Boy, am I having FUN now! |
