Evil Dead II (1987) Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell – Deconstructing

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Our Deconstructing… video series continues with a look at one of the greatest horror comedies ever made, Sam Raimi's 1987 classic Evil Dead II (watch or buy it HERE). In the video embedded above, we dig into this splatstick masterpiece from the moment Raimi decided to make a sequel to his debut feature The Evil Dead, and then take a look at how Evil Dead II led to even more entries in the franchise.

Directed by Raimi from a screenplay he wrote with Scott Spiegel, Evil Dead II stars Bruce Campbell, Sarah Berry, Danny Hicks, Kassie Wesley, Ted Raimi, Denise Bixler, Richard Domeier, John Peakes, and Lou Hancock.

Deconstructing… is a monthly web series in which 

we choose one of your favorite horror movies and take it apart piece by piece (lovingly, of course) to see what makes it a classic. Each episode examines the origins, legacy and mysteries behind our beloved genre's most iconic titles… but we play fast and loose with the rules, so expect the unexpected!

The show is Written, Edited, and Narrated by Gregory Burkart, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
