An Exclusive Interview with Betsy Baker
Interview by Fans & Deadites Online


Would you be in another Evil Dead movie or make a cameo?

I would imagine it would be lots of fun to be in another Evil Dead movie,because i would assume that some of the same people will be there as well -- bruce, theresa, ellen, and let’s not forget sam ....... like one big happy family, only on film. Is there going to be another "Evil Dead" movie----?? hmmmmm..... let's wait and find out!!

How did you make those freaky laughs?

I thought everyone could laugh like that!!

Honestly, if you could do it all over again - would you still have made the Evil Dead?

yes because sam and rob ( tapert) and bruce were very persuasive, very excited about their project, and way-out wacky enough with a great sense of humor that i would do it for the laughs and zaniness of it all ’cuz we sure didn’t do it for the money the first time!!

If you knew someone else that was going to something like you did what would you tell them?

i would give them great advice and tell them to bring lots of energy bars, a cell phone, a small tv, aleve or advil ( or both) , tylenol pm, huge vats of karo-removing solution, and frozen dinners, and i would tell them to hold on tight- its gonna be a wild ride!

If someone gave you that stupid necklace in real life what would your reaction be?

I would still them it was beautiful, of course, so as not to hurt their feelings, but i would never tell them i wouldn’t ever take it off, because sooner or later i would have to remove the stupid thing so i could wash off the fake silver paint flicks from my neck.

Are you still able to do that squeaky voice that possessed Linda has?

absolutely it comes with lots and lots of training, you know, but it’s like riding a bike and getting right back on after many years you never forget how to do something as lovely and melodic as that voice and that laugh. Come see us at a convention and you just might hear it echo through the halls sometime!!

Were you at all upset when hearing of Evil Dead 2 and Sam's decision to use a different actress to play Linda?

Actually, the boys (sam, bruce and rob) and i met at a diner in West los angeles when they were getting ready to do Evil Dead 2, and they DID offer me the part!! The problem was, we couldn’t sit at a booth and had to sit at a table, because i was so pregnant with our first child i couldn’t slide into the booth, and i couldn’t obviously do the part you know what

If you could change one thing about your experience of filming The Evil Dead, what would it be and why?

Hmmmmmmm..... let's see, i would probably bring lots of energy bars, a cell phone, a small tv, advil AND aleve, tylenol pm, huge vats of karo-removing solution, frozen dinners, and my own chair, so i could sit somewhere else other than the floor when i wasn't shooting and i would hold on tight.
