Five friends, one cabin, a creepy old book, and absolutely nobody making a good decision. What could possibly go wrong?
On this episode of OH, THE HORROR!, Sam Pancake and Sarah Burns head into the woods for Sam Raimi's 1981 cult classic, THE EVIL DEAD, joined by special guest Meika Grimm!
THE EVIL DEAD (1981)
Original Premiere: October 15, 1981
U.S. Theatrical Release: April 15, 1983
Budget: Approximately $375,000
Bruce Campbell stars as Ash Williams, who heads to a remote cabin in the Tennessee woods with his girlfriend Linda (Betsy Baker), his sister Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss), and their friends Scotty (Richard DeManincor) and Shelly (Theresa Tilly). What starts as a relaxing getaway quickly turns into a nightmare when the group discovers an ancient book and a tape recording that unleashes demonic forces.
As the evil spreads and the group begins turning on one another, Ash finds himself fighting for survival against possessed friends, angry trees, and an alarming amount of bodily fluids.
Written and directed by Sam Raimi and produced by Robert Tapert, The Evil Dead became a cult horror phenomenon thanks to its outrageous practical effects, inventive camerawork, and a whole lot of fake blood.
Joining Sam and Sarah is special guest Meika Grimm, a Los Angeles-based audio engineer, video producer, and technology specialist who works across film, live entertainment, and experimental music. When she's not behind a mixing console or running video for a live production, she's probably watching horror movies, collecting something obscure, or finding another piece of equipment she absolutely doesn't need.
So grab your boomstick (wrong movie, we know), stay out of the cellar, and join Sam, Sarah, and Meika for a trip to one of the most infamous cabins in horror history.
