HORROR FANS UNITE - For all you cult horror fans around the Midwest, the Flashback Weekend Horror and Sci-Fi Convention starts today and runs through Sunday at the Chicago Marriott O'Hare. A number of influential and important horror stars, writers, and directors I have never heard of will be there.

OK, I know Bruce Campbell, who will be on hand Saturday for a special sneak preview of one of his new movies (probably Bubba Ho-tep), followed by a screening of the Sam Raimi classic that made him a B-movie star, The Evil Dead (1982). A remastered 35mm print will be screened with an introduction by and Q & A with Campbell, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly, and make-up artist Tom Sullivan. Sunday night includes a screening of Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn (1987), also with a Campbell Q & A.
