You could get Patrick Stewart to help out with your marriage proposal, but this geek decided to pop the question to his girlfriend according to the Evil Dead tradition. Bruce Campbell was a guest at the recent Chicago Comic Con and cooperated with this grand romantic gesture. -via The Mary Sue

Hail to the king, baby! Clifton created and wore this costume of Army of Darkness‘s Ash Williams to DragonCon:
Being relatively new to cosplay and having almost no experience with sewing, I knew that the most difficult aspect of creating my steampunk costume would not be its design, but its construction. Fortunately, my girlfriend taught me the basics of using a sewing machine and reading patterns, and with her help, I created the vest and ascot, and modified the pants and shirt. I was also fairly inexperienced with prop making, but with a lot of time, effort, and only minor injuries, I was able to create the props the way I envisioned them. The base of the chainsaw is an actual Homerunner XL chainsaw (as used in the movie) that I purchased from eBay. I gutted the casing, took apart the engine, and then heavily modified the shell and blade with actual copper tubing, spare parts from a bike shop, and a variety of parts I found while thrifting.

Psst! Wanna hear something neat? Bruce Campbell has just been ordained so this means … zombie wedding!
Our pal Geekscape has the details:
ZomBCon, the premiere zombie convention being held this Halloween in Seattle, is announcing today that newly ordained minister Bruce Campbell will be officiating a zombie wedding at the inaugural convention. While only one couple is going to be lucky enough to be married by Campbell, he will also be officiating a mass renewal ceremony, for those zombies that didn’t get to do it right the first time. He might be reading from the Necronomicon so be warned… There might be Deadite shenanigans.
So. John recently posted about Jeff Burk’s novel Shatner Quake, in which William Shatner (William Shatner? William Shatner. WILLIAM SHATNER!) battled all characters he ever played, after a failed terrorist attack by the Campbellians (who worships Bruce Campbell).
Though I haven’t read the novel, I immediately feel that this is an unwarranted attack on Bruce. First, take a look at the clip below, then tell me, is this the kind of man that can summon the Army of Darkness? Or cavort with The Evil Dead?
Duran Duran has got nothin’ on Bruce Campbell (plus, he probably smells good!)
