Episode 72: Thrice Upon a Castle in the Desert

It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. Coming off of the successful Darkman and a deal with Universal, Raimi and company set their sights on the distant past, an epic journey, and a clear focus.  

...and almost forget where the heart and soul of the series resides.

While Army of Darkness was the most commercially successful of the series, the pared-down feature strips most of the nuance and (admittedly thin) logic out in favor of more yuk-yuks, bravado, foolishness and accidentally becomes more problematic than the movie with the tree-rape scene.  

This episode is the third in a series that will cover all three Evil Dead movies and the 2013 remake. Stay tuned.

Episode 71: Twice Upon a Cabin in the Woods

It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. After a grueling and miserable flop for their second feature, Raimi and company reluctantly set their sights on a sequel and finally work the kinks out of this whole movie making thing.  

...while still almost killing an actor or two. Baby steps.

The Evil Dead movies officially became a franchise with the release of Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn and the series cemented the distinctive style, humor, and over-the-top gleeful terror and gore that would characterize it from here on out. 

This episode is the second in a series that will cover all three Evil Dead movies and the 2013 remake. Stay tuned.

Episode 70: Once Upon a Cabin In The Woods

It's time again, for Dawn and Jen to go on a journey of re-discovery through one of horror's most beloved franchises: The Evil Dead. With difficult financing, disastrous location shoots, and being banned outright in several countries, Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead should never have worked. 

And yet it did.

The Evil Dead franchise changed the face of horror cinema forever, landing it in the hearts of millions of gore-loving fans and introducing the world to the macabre brilliance of Raimi and his star, Bruce Campbell.

This episode is the first in a series that will cover all three Evil Dead movies and the 2013 remake. Stay tuned.
