The 1981. Five young friends go and stay in an isolated cabin in the woods for a weekend of drinking and debauchery.

However, little do they know that something else is lurking in those woods, and before the

nights over, most of them will have been tortured, tormented, maimed, murdered, and dismembered, until only one member of the group,

a young, awkward, unassuming boy called Ash remains. Join me as we continue exploring the evolution of the zombie movie and we take a look at

Sam Ramey's demented world of the evil dead.

Gruly.

Welcome back to the evolution of horror. My name is Mike and as ever I am your host.

If you're tuning in for the first time then welcome. In this podcast we explore and

dissect the evolution of the horror genre by looking at particular sub-jomras across several weeks.

We are currently in the middle of exploring the evolution of the zombie movie and this is part

nine in which as the intro suggested we are going to be looking at the evil dead and its sequel

so this is spoiler alert for both of the first two evil dead movies we do discuss these two in spoiler-ific detail and we will also reveal minor plot

spoilers for the rest of the Evil Dead franchise that's Army of Darkness from

1992 that's the recent remake the The Evil Dead from 2013, and the TV show Ash versus The Evil Dead.

So just be warned, all of those properties do get a mention this week. So joining me to discuss all things evil dead, one of these

two movies we're discussing tonight is his favorite film of all time. It is my

great pleasure to have back on the podcast once again Chris
