With the impending release of Evil Dead, a remake of the 1981 cult classic The Evil Dead I thought that now would be a great time to look back on the original and give some background on what made it such a success. This is not so much for the horror buffs (those dudes have already seen The Evil Dead dozens of times) but more for the younger readers or horror impaired that are probably going to get dragged to the remake

Bruce Campbell CAMEO confirmed for “Evil Dead” reboot, new plot discussed
July 20th, 2011 James Shotwell When news broke that Evil Dead was getting rebooted, my biggest question also happened to be on the tip of tongues across the planet: What role, if any, will Bruce Campbell play?

We already broke most of the information involved, accept for the newly surface detail that the woman behind JUNO, Diablo Cody, has been hired to do revisions on the film’s script (which was penned by Director Federico ‘Fede’ Alvarez).
The film’s original brain trust of Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Rob Tapert are attached to the film as producers and supposed “guards” of Evil Dead‘s lore.
I’m still excited because I really, really love the original films, but Cody’s participation …
Evil Dead reboot CONFIRMED, production already underway (UPDATED)
July 12th, 2011 James Shotwell Horror fans have been losing their minds for the past day following word from DreadCentral that Sam Raimi had secretly traveled to Detroit in order to begin making something related to Evil Dead. Bloody-Disgusting took the story further a few hours later, claiming Raimi probably wasn’t the director, but still left most hanging in excitement.
Well hang no more because we have the answers! Word is, Raimi DID go to Detroit for what is being called “quasi-reboot” of the Bruce Campbell lead Evil Dead series and production is (apparently) already underway. Directing the feature will be Freddy Alvarez, the …
