2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the first screening of director Sam Raimi‘s classic feature debut The Evil Dead (watch it HERE) – and to celebrate the occasion, we’re re-releasing a tribute video that was originally put together for the film’s 35th anniversary. Check it out in the embed above!
The Evil Dead has the following synopsis:
Ash (Bruce Campbell), his girlfriend Linda (Betsy Baker), his sister Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss), and couple Scotty (Hal Delrich) and Shelly (Sarah York), drive to a remote cabin in the woods for a fun getaway. While there, they find the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (aka “The Book of the Dead”), an ancient tome whose text reawakens the dead when read out loud. After unintentionally releasing a flood of evil, the five friends must fight for their lives or become possessed.

The Evil Dead is one of my all-time favorite films, and the horror movie I consider to be the scariest movie I ever saw. My first viewing of it was a terrifying experience; it was late at night, I was quite young, and I was convinced that the demonic spirits set loose in the story were going to come bursting out of my home’s basement at any moment. And yet, despite how scared I was, I never stopped watching it. I was captivated. Many, many more viewings have followed since that one, which was nearly 30 years ago.
