September 30th is when Tucker & Dale vs. Evil – the action-comedy that debuted last year and fast won a mob of loyal fans (including myself) – despite yet having a big release, finally opens wide!

I am speaking about Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.

And ya wanna know why I’m writing about this, here and now? Two reasons. First of all, THIS MOVIE IS CRAZY AWESOME!! I first saw it at ActionFest in April. It was midnight on a Friday night and the theater was packed and everyone was laughing and lapping it up and begging for more! I had to leave later the following day but my filmmaking partner “Weird” Ed saw it again at midnight that evening and he reported that not only was the screening once more full but he himself enjoyed it even ...
