Last Updated on August 2, 2021

So this is cool! It seems that director Steve Villeneuve's long-in-development Evil Dead fan documentary Hail to the Deadites – with interviews from horror personas (the founder of this site John Fallon aka The Arrow makes an appearance), key cast (Bruce Campbell!) and creators of the long-running horror franchise – will be getting an official release from Shout! Studios on digital and On Demand July 27th!

Here's the official synopsis:

Inspired by the 1981 classic’s cult following, Hail to the Deadites is an endearing documentary about the fans of the Evil Dead franchise, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2021…the documentary features interviews with Evil Dead franchise cast members including Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly, Ellen Sandweiss, Richard Demanincor, Tom Sullivan, Dan Hicks, Kassie Wesley Depaiva, Sarah Berry, Rick Domeier & Bill Moseley.

Through interviews with the cast, crew, collectors, and fans, Hail to the Deadites seeks to illuminate the furthest reaches of the Evil Dead franchise’s undying and still-growing popularity, a popularity that has spawned four films, a TV series, comic books, figurines, and surpassed even its creator’s wildest dreams.

So what do you guys think? Fans of the Evil Dead series? If so, looking forward to the new documentary? Either way, sound off below!
