Film Analysis: Ash Vs. The Evil Dead

Billy - Would you do another "Evil Dead" film if it's presented to you Danny?

Danny - Sure, absoultly I would do it again, I know people are always talking about doing a "Army of Darkness II" or "Evil Dead III". I don't know if that's ever going to happen it might but in the event of "Ash vs The Evil Dead" though I don't see it really happening.

Billy - What's been your favorite set theather and film Danny?

Danny - The set we had for "Of Mice and Men" was brilliant. The staging was done where the actors would change between the acts. Working on "Darkman" that was incredible too because we shot it in a area in downtown Los Angelas. In the warehouse district where the buildings where all condemned so they didn't care what we did to the

I live about 45 miles from Hollywood and sometimes it would take me 6 hours to get home. I got so so tired of it, I don't look for work anymore. However if I'm apporoched for a film, I will usually do it. In fact that's how my last two projects had happened that way, they came to me to do the roles. It all worked out and I was glad, so as far as future roles go nothing for certain right. I'm just enjoying life and doing a lot of horror convetions right now. I don't know if you've ever been to one but there a lot of fun.

Billy - I definetly have done quite a few conventions, I actually just volunteered for Motor City Nightmares in Novi.

Danny - Yeah I did Motor City Nightmares about 3 or 4 years ago, it's a lot of fun you get a chance to talk and meet the fans I usually do 4 or 5 a year.

Billy - Do you have any conventions planned this year?

Danny - Right now I think I have 3 schdeuled so far there's Chiller Theather in New Jersey in April I believe. I'm doing Shock Stock in London Ontario in May then I'm going to doing one in Billings Montona in October. So I will probably do 5 or 6 this

Just the energy is beyond outgoing and everyone there is happy and we all share the common of passion of horror. So my last question for you Danny would be is there anything you would to share with us at Reviews From Beyond?

Danny - You know I started working in music about 3 or 4 years ago and I met a guy named Tim-O Saben at a horror convention. We got to talking about music and movies and we ended up starting a band together called "The Tim-O And Danny Hicks Brain Invasion" and we just finished up our 4th album, it should be out anytime on i-tunes. If you like rock n roll music you might like our stuff because that's what we do. We got a few music videos on youtube you might want to check out. One is called "The Ballad and Jake and Bobby Joe" which is of course about "Evil Dead II", then there is "Not On The Road".

Billy - That's a awesome achivement to accomplish, music was something I use to want to be a part of when I was younger Danny.

Danny - Yeah music was actually my first love but I knew I wasn't ever going to get into it, because I wasn't that good of a musician. On the other hand Tim-O is one of the best musicians I have ever seen in my life he's incredible. It works out well he plays the music and I write the lyrics and sing the
