EVIL DEAD 2 (1987)

Strap on your chainsaw and hop in the Classic because we’re headed back to the cabin for 1987’s EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN.

After his sophomore effort proved to be a financial flop and creative misfire, Sam Raimi was ready to reopen the Necronomicon. But there would be no need to beg dentists for money this time around! Legendary Italian film producer Dino De Laurentiis gives the greenlight on Raimi and co.’s horror sequel and manages to make it profitable before they had even begun shooting, allowing for more blood, more gore, and more campy hijinx than ever before. 

Groovy horror aficionado Pat Driscol joins Scott & Nick to swallow the soul of this splat-stick horror masterpiece on an all-new (except for that reshot recap) FRANCHISOGRAPHY.
