Just the other day, bro bruiser Matt told you guys about what looks to be the most gory musical ever in EVIL DEAD: The Musical.

Well today, Horror Asylum dropped us a line to tell us they received more info on the musical, which possesses broadway (well actually, off-broadway) October 2. While it premieres October 2 at New World Stages, the official opening is on November 1 at 7:00 PM. The concept of turning one of horror’s classics into a musical began its genesis in Toronto, Canada, where early workshops were packed. The musical enjoyed two sold-out runs at the Tranzac Club before embarking to Montreal, where the musical opened on July 2, 2004 at the Cabaret du Plateau, ironically as part of the 22nd Just For Laughs Festival.
