Evil Dead question

[avenger00soul]

I'm looking at my room and I notice that I have everything from Evil Dead shotglasses to bobble heads. Do you think that a movie can be over-merchandized?

I remember when Godzilla came out a couple of years ago that stuff was everywhere. I think it can detract from the quality of the movie if it gets too out of hand. Just takes away the artistic value. Though I don't think that's the case with Evil Dead.

I feel the same way as you do Myers. When The Hulk came out, he was EVERYWHERE. He was on freakin' snack cakes and popcorn and shit. Talk about overkill.

the only ones that get over merchandised are like the little disney movies or movies that people have background info on like godzilla or the hulk or x-men, stuff like that.

So you don't think it's going to far to have Freddy and Jason snow-globes, Evil Dead lunchboxes, and Leatherface christmas lights? I think they are cool collectibles, but at the same time I'm wondering if they are just trying to suck us out of our money. Just a thought.

No, I think it's kinda cool for die-hard horror fans.

I like collecting horror memerablia like posters at such.
I don't know for sure but I've heard there is a Friday the 13th Pinball machine. I haven't seen one though.

When I saw Freddy's Dead in the theater I kept the 3-d Glasses. I still have those.

I know there is a ton of Freddy Kreuger merchandise.
I have a Nightmare on Elm St. coloring book, that I've never marked in.
