Strange Wobbly Inflatable Thing

If Evil Dead needs to be franchised like all other horror properties, then using it as an avenue in which Sam Raimi can give money to promising indie horror filmmakers to make their own take on the Evil Dead formula is probably the best way to do it

Thanks to everyone who voted for me tonight. I know my ideas are weird and foreign to some, but I make this promise to those who voted for me and those who didn't. Elect me this November, and I will make sure every American gets explosive diarrhea

This is part of a much bigger problem with Australian films. Nobody turns up to them. And honestly, why would you? Penny Lane is Dead screened at film festivals. Had great turnout there. But it launches on Shudder in the US soon. So, a lot of people will just VPN and access it that way.

Yes we should, but also, Aussie horror like Leviticus does poorly at the Australian box office. A film like Penny Lane is Dead has also failed at the box office. It's one thing to make films that service an international market, but it's another to try and get Aussie audiences to them.
