The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Terror

We're now in Morristown, Tennessee, which turns out to be the filming location for Sam Raimi's classic, Evil Dead. Parker and I went looking for the cabin that was used in the film, using some good directions we found off of the web. We found the location, but there was a well-posted No Trespassing sign, not to mention a house overlooking the road to the cabin. Apparently some local teens burned it down, but the foundation, chimney, and roof are still there.

I asked around to see if I could locate the owner. The local gas station attendant told me she did not the owner, but she was asked that question quite a bit. Why wouldn't the owner take advantage of that and open some sort of attraction, no matter how small, or even just for Halloween? It's got potential for making money - the site is even mentioned by the local board of tourism.

The house right next door to the woods is for sale. I dunno about that - I'd be afraid the woods would get into my hands and go bad.
