CHECK OUT ALL OUR EPISODES OF ’80s HORROR MEMORIES HERE!

JoBlo.com recently launched a new weekly documentary series called 80s Horror Memories, and the first five episodes of the series were all dedicated to film that were released in 1980: Maniac, Dressed to Kill, Alligator, Friday the 13th, The Shining, Prom Night, and The Fog. With episode 6, we entered 1981 – so far in this year we have covered The Funhouse, The Burning, Friday the 13th Part 2, My Bloody Valentine, and Halloween II, as well as the careers of horror hosts Elvira and Joe Bob Briggs. With the ninth episode of the series, we’re looking back at a horror classic that wasn’t released in most areas until 1983, but did have its first screening in 1981: director Sam Raimi‘s feature debut The Evil Dead (watch it HERE)! You can hear all about it in the video embedded above.

New episodes of 80s Horror Memories will be released through the YouTube channel JoBlo Horror Originals every Monday. 

Here’s the info on 80s Horror Memories: It’s been over 40 years that the decade that shaped the horror movie industry began and having lived through most of those years personally, we at JoBlo/Arrow in the Head have decided to create a 10-part documentary series in which not only cover every nook and cranny of the biggest horror themes from 1980 to 1989 but also what was happening in the world at the time. Join us as we walk down Horror Memory Lane!

And here’s the info on this particular episode: It’s time to pack your bags (don’t forget the essentials) and let’s head deep into the Tennessee woods because when it comes to demonic forces, there is no better place than a remote cabin with you and your friends. On today’s episode of ’80s HORROR MEMORIES, we take a look at the instrumental horror film The Evil Dead.

This episode of 80s Horror Memories was written by Lance Vlcek, narrated by Tyler Nichols, edited by Lance Vlcek, produced by Berge Garabedian and John Fallon, co-produced by Mike Conway, and executive produced by Berge Garabedian.
