Told in Bruces wry, sarcastic voice, it is a Hollywood from the bleacher seats look at his experiences in film and TV and at his status as a cult horror and sci-fi movie god. This man with the face of a matinee idol and the heart of a Stooge first attracted what has grown into an enormous cult following as the star of Sam Raimis legendary Evil Dead trilogy of thriller-comedies. With tireless good humor and biting wit, Bruce acted, produced, and directed his way through a bakers dozen of B horror films and space operas before finally enjoying mainstream stardom on prime-time TV. Deeply earnest and fiercely funny, this book tells the story of an unlikely star who continues to lead a unique double life as cult movie icon and regular Joe. 691460 1 8 2002 If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor total:1636|5:555|4:720|3:315|2:40|1:6| 1636 6686 2223 222 5 4 false false Sun Mar 11 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Jul 11 10:20:02 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 11 10:20:17 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 09 10:09:34 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 09 10:14:00 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Apr 14 20:03:06 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 16:01:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 16 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Sun Jan 18 17:33:01 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 17:45:17 -0800 2009 Bruce Campbell at a little book store in Mesa, AZ back in 2001.
