Episode Details

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. On this episode we’re discussing Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD franchise and we’re joined by fellow Cinepunk and all around hooligan John Wren from The Mandate podcast.

First and foremost we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks!

We start by talking about what we’ve seen or done lately in the field of horror. Liam talks about seeing Flesh For Frankenstein and Blood For Dracula at an Exhumed Films event Philly, the Castle Rock series, John talks about The Meg, and Justin talks about seeing Pyewacket and Wildling.

We of course begin with how we first came to see The Evil Dead when we were younger. We talk about the weird remake qualities of Evil Dead II, and how that film is responsible for many people thinking that Evil Dead is something of a comedy.

The concept of having to kill your friends after they become something other than human beings is discussed at length. The discovery of Army Of Darkness being connected to The Evil Dead is talked about, as is the process of Evil Dead II being made with a strange opening that rehashes the first film.
