The cult surrounding Evil Dead has ruined the film for me. The obsessed fans have made it less about the films and more about wearing them as a badge identifying who they are, and I couldn’t care less about a sequel or remake. It is really time to end the Ash worshiping and move on. Even Bruce Campbell seems to agree…Well unless a paycheck is involved, but I don’t blame him for that.

While some of the actors may have looked a little too old for their roles, Jill Schoelen was one of the few who looked the part. The problem is, I’m not 100% sure if she got naked in The Stepfather or if it was a body-double, so I never added her to our Classic Horror Titties Archives.

Not Horror But… Shiver (2008)

Shiver is a Spanish thriller following a sunlight-phobic teen, Santi (Valverde). This isn’t your average phobia though, because it is not such an irrational fear. The sun actually is great harm to him since he has a disease where the more sunlight he gets the more he is exposed to blindness, cancer, and other diseases.

Even at night he has terrifying nightmares where he fails in his desperate attempt to be free from the sun as it quickly burns and deteriorates his skin.
