Love the "film school student" vibe to this one and this got a lot more gross than I was expecting it to be. Please enjoy Soka joining me for the first six minutes of the movie. 😅 I'm looking forward to your thoughts on this one! Thanks so much for watching.

If you decide down the road to watch the TV series, it will up the gross meter lol

My horror heart is beating fast! This franchise has its own little "shrine" in my apartment so I am heeeere for this

You doing this reaction has me beaming and tearful. I had the fortune of his company on several occasions... Thank-you. He is such a beautiful warm human. It is startling how fun he is to be around...he is all of the best parts of our thoughts when we say "cool uncle" Every room feels warmer with him in it... "...Hail to the king, baby."

SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!! SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!! SWALLOW YOUR SOUL!!!

Chris Thom

Bruce Campbell is iconic.

Steve Mercier

This is another movie I first saw on VHS...I think I was around 13 or so. I wore that copy out pretty quickly. The pure spit-and-shoestring budget spirit of this one destroys just about every shitty slasher movie of the same era (the original Halloween not included), and has become the blueprint of how to scare the fucking shit out of people ever since. Goooooooooooooooooood shit.

Christopher Smith

Be sure and branch out on some more Bruce. Bubba Hotep, Brisco County Jr, and more solid entries in his library.

Vincent Hollow

My Name Is Bruce is also a good one to add.

Chris Elkins

Welcome too Bruce Campbell the worlds greatest actor of his specialty B-Movies, not making fun of him or B-movies but he is pretty much the king of B-Movies, one my all time favortie actors, weither its from this seriies or things like Xena or his other roles like his character in Burn Notice, and someone mentioned, Brisco County JR only had one season but it was a fun show. Who would thought Sam Raimi made this but also gave us the OG Spider-man, which Bruce has a small role in all 3 ofcorse so does his brother Ted. Do you think you'll eventually try to watch the TV series, I hope so would love to revisit that show :) Was so fun seeing all the different facial expression you had fo this movie. Gotta also give Bruce props for all the nasty fluids and torment he takes in theses series..... youll see even more than you expect lol

I have a love/hate relationship with this franchise. The hate side of it comes from a completely personal area and really has nothing to do with the franchise at all, which is kind of ironic, but there are a few aspects of the films that are difficult for me to take. I do love Sam Raimi's style and definitely love Bruce Campbell, the man's a legend. There's definitely a lot to appreciate and I try to focus on that.

Chris Thom

Is that a documentary?

Chris Thom

Oh Xena...that's right. That's actually where I discovered him. Didn't see Evil Dead until maybe six years after that.

Christopher Smith

mockumentary-ish would be I guess how I would classify it.

So I went to Evil Dead The Musical! It was called Splatter Theater. The first 3 rows wore white T-shirts with the Logo on the front and through the play they would aim the chainsaw etc. out into the audience splattering our shirts. The guy literally dipped his chainsaw into a bucket of blood colored paint and whipped it through the theater. The song "Cabin in the woods" can be found on YT. All this was done on a college campus theater.

It's basically an Evil Dead-ish parody with Bruce Campbell playing himself fighting monsters. They literally filmed the entire movie in his backyard.

Tyler Foster

Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell were childhood friends. They made short films on a format called Super 8 in Sam's backyard with his brothers and other friends. One of them, predating The Evil Dead, was even feature length. Before making this, they made a short, called Within the Woods, which was basically a shorter version of the same idea. They raised the money for this independently for $375,000. Through distributor Irvin Shapiro, they managed to screen out-of-competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 1982, where Stephen King saw the movie and gave them a pull quote that they put on all the posters ("most ferociously original film of the year"), eventually leading to distribution through New Line Cinema. One of the film's assistant editors was Raimi's friend Joel Coen. Later, when Joel and Ethan were raising money for their first film Blood Simple (1984), they enlisted Raimi's help in learning how to get financiers interested. In the end, they shot a trailer for the movie, in which Bruce Campbell plays a part. The Coens would go onto work on Raimi's follow-up to The Evil Dead, a misfire called Crimewave (1985) where Raimi's vision was overruled, leading him to disown the film. That, in turn, prompted him to make Evil Dead II, which set his career back on track. Later, Raimi would co-write The Hudsucker Proxy with the Coens, which of course features Bruce Campbell as Amy Archer's co-worker Smitty, and the voice of Raimi as one of the guys trying to name the Hula Hoop. The car in the film is Sam Raimi's own Oldsmobile Delta 88. He has included it in every single one of his films in some form, even hiding it somewhere in his Western The Quick and the Dead (1995). For example, Uncle Ben drives the same car in Spider-Man (2002). Similarly, Bruce Campbell has appeared in pretty much every Sam Raimi movie in some form. In the first Spider-Man movie, he plays the wrestling announcer who tells him The Human Spider sucks and dubs him "Spider-Man" instead. In the second, he plays a snooty usher who refuses to allow Peter Parker into Mary Jane's show after start time. Finally, in the third, he is a French waiter who tries to assist with Peter's failed proposal. He also popped up in Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness as "Pizza Poppa," who Dr. Strange enchants to punch himself in the face. These reactions will make for a nice tribute to Bruce, who announced just a few days ago that he has "treatable but not curable" cancer and is taking some time off of the convention circuit to focus on recovery. Campbell and Raimi have also long joked about their relationship as director and star -- if you ever see Bruce in one of Sam's movies, and he's getting whacked with something, it's probably the latter delighting in lightly torturing his old friend. The Evil Dead is no doubt the accomplishment that Raimi will be most known for (with the Spider-Man trilogy a close second), but if you want a recommendation for the most concentrated dose of Raimi's insanity, check out Darkman (1990) -- a film that was pretty ahead of its time. If you think back to A Nightmare on Elm Street, there is a scene where Nancy is trying to keep herself awake, and she's watching a horror movie on a TV right next to her bed. She's watching The Evil Dead. That was a bit of playful banter based on this movie. In the basement, you commented on the eye on the torn up poster on the wall. That poster was for Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes (1977). Raimi put the poster on the wall and tore it up, as if to suggest "you thought that was scary? look at this!" So Craven returned the favor with Nancy falling asleep to The Evil Dead. Also, when you start watching Evil Dead II, let's just say that thinking about memorable shots from this movie (particularly the last one) may provide the answer to a question that many of us had the first time we saw the film.

Vincent Hollow

The torn poster in the basement is for the 1977 Wes Craven classic, The Hills Have Eyes. I've seen the 2006 remake, but haven't gotten to the original yet. I do plan to finally check it out this year because it's right up there with Elm Street for being one of his most memorable films.
