So about my trip to L.A. yesterday for the Madman screening and vinyl soundtrack drop, the soundtrack itself is not released in stores, yet. I was one of the first few people to get my hands on it, and not only that, but have it signed by Madman himself and by producer/creator Gary Sales. Pretty cool stuff. The screening of the movie kicked ass. People reacted to scenes in the movie like the die hard fans they are. Laughed, cheered, etc... all while the actual Madman was sitting down the aisle just one row behind me. Pretty god damn awesome experience. The really crazy thing is the screening was free, but I thought that meant if you bought the vinyl you could watch for free. But nope. Anyone off the street could've walked up, grabbed a ticket no charge and walked right into the theater and went on their merry way when it was over. They didn't give it a shit what you were there for. They were genuinely happy to watch their own movie with the fans. I love that. I also bought The Evil Dead soundtrack on vinyl with re-recordings and unreleased tracks.
If that wasn't cool enough, little did I know that when they opened the doors to the theater before the screening and signing, there would be a couple of tables set-up to buy awesome obscure horror blu rays and DVDs. Among them is some completely unreleased shit that will drop at a later date. I was eyeing Two Evil Eyes for a couple of months now, and I saw it sitting on the rack to purchase. I was surprised, thinking it got released under my radar somehow, but nope. It was a special little event for whatever reason and I nabbed Two Evil Eyes (1990), as well as Paganini Horror (1989). They're going for 35 dollars each when released, but not only am I one of the few peeps in the world who own them now, they gave them to me for 25 bucks. Also bought the blu rays of Wax Mask (1997) Ice Cream Man (1995) and Absurd, aka Rosso Sangue, aka Horrible, aka Antropophagus 2, aka a bunch of other names. Scored pretty big on some of these, though my wallet lost weight.
