BRUCE CAMPBELL

FACE TO FACE WITH THE BIGGEST STARS

The actor returns to the horror-comedy genre that made him an icon

It’s been over 40 years since Bruce Campbell and his friend Sam Raimi went to a remote cabin in Tennessee to make a scary movie. The Evil Dead became one of the greatest horror films ever made and cemented Campbell as one of the genre’s icons. Now he’s returned to the horrorcomedy genre he perfected in Evil Dead 2 with Black Friday, which sees him trapped in a store attacked by possessed shoppers during a post- Thanksgiving sale.

Looking back at your career, what are you proudest of?

→That I’m not dead! That I’m still working. 2021 was a very busy year, even 2020 was a busy year. I’m proud that I haven’t gone away, which is great because I don’t have any other skills, so I have to stick within my wheelhouse if I want to support my family.
