----------------------------Original message---------------------------- The first two Evil Dead movies had reel to reel machines that resummoned the hoary hosts of hell. In Kalifornia a couple listened to a recording that a killer made of one of his victim's pleas as the tromp through the very spot that it happened. An answering machine is used to add to the confusion when a message recorded too soon is heard too late in Blood Simple. (I think that's the way it goes.)
