![]() While not initially a very financially successful franchise, "The Evil Dead" trilogy is probably the most influential film series in history, second only to "Star Wars." Countless filmmakers who started in horror and moved on to bigger, better films cite Sam Raimi and "The Evil Dead" as influences. Enough to keep any puss-oozing deadite drooling through the night. It also spawned two deliriously different and wildly inventive sequels, The Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn, and Army of Darkness, which have won over legions of fright fans around the globe.Īt last, acclaimed film critic Bill Warren takes us on a no-holds-barred behind-the-scenes tour of the making of the three films, including exclusive interviews with key cast and crew rare and previously unpublished photographs, story-boards, and concept sketches harrowing tales of hardship, discomfort, and practical jokes and much more. Rigorously made on an almost absent budget in the backwoods of Tennessee, the film was a phenomenal success-the true definition of "cult film"-launching the careers of its director, Sam Raimi producer, Bob Tapert and star, Bruce Campbell. To read the words therein is to release a hideously unspeakable force. In the dank cellar of the dilapadated cabin tucked away in the great forest, there is a book bound in human skin and filled with incantations writ in blood.
