No man can be a real movie buff without having watched Sam Raimi's 1981cult horror film "The Evil Dead" -- or at least "The Evil Dead 2," the 1987 big-budget sequel. In both, the timeless story of Ash Williams' never-ending fight to the death against an army of the undead has everything that makes movies worth watching: a rich yet ridiculous story, a dashing leading man (Bruce Campbell), ...

Cameron Hughes isn't your typical sports fan. Sure, he jumps out of his seat at just about every game and bounces around the joint like he's having an epileptic seizure. But instead of paying the stadium a month's salary to act the fool in public, the stadium pays him six figures a year. Hughes is a self-described "sports entertainer" hired by teams across the world to get their fans riled up ...

Danny Gallagher is an Asylum Contributor and Saints Superfan. Growing up in New Orleans ain't easy. Sure, to an outsider, it looks like the sun is always shining, beer flows from every faucet, and every day is Mardi Gras. But the truth is the sun can create weather hot enough to boil gumbo in your pants, what looks like beer flowing from the tap is actually supposed to be water, and Mardi Gras ...

Here's the situation: People are calling you all hours of the day and night asking for a delicious Domino's pizza pie, now that they know they have the same taste, texture and consistency as one of Seth Rogen's old bathmats covered in pepperonis and anchovies. Would you calmly explain they aren't calling Domino's and are instead calling someone who is heavily armed and collects human ears? ...

Some people think that cosplayers are just a sad collection of costumed geeks looking for a way to escape from reality without drugs -- you know, because Costco conducts regular tests of its employees. But those jerks are wrong; cosplayers are sometimes smoking hot women. Playboy is bringing some much-needed credibility to the community by holding its own cosplay contest, which consists of ...

One hour to go before my ride with the first ever "Dallas No Pants DART Ride" crusaders and my stomach has turned itself into a giant, meaty monkey fist. After all, this is the first time anyone in Dallas has voluntarily tried to ride the local DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) light rail without the aid and comfort of their pants. It might happen all the time up in New York City, but this is ...

Do your kids view Santa Claus as the holiest of all the saints, the man who brings peace and joy to the universe, the one human being who represents Christmas better than any human on Earth? Do you want to put a stop to all that?

We had been slaving away on a similar list to run on Asylum today, pegged to the long-awaited release of what has been referred to as James Cameron's "Waterworld."
