This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on November 4, 2015). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.
Fun fact: The first time I saw the original Evil Dead was at a slumber party for my church’s youth group. I expect the parents upstairs would have been both horrified and amused if they’d known (and that’s assuming they didn’t…but since adults frequently know more than they let on, who knows?). :)
