Interesting news arrives as the cast from the remake of 1981’s The Evil Dead, is finally rounded up by Sam Raimi. Initially helming the project with himself in place as director, he has picked a new director and finalized the cast, who will make up the unfortunate victims of the dark forces lurking in our favorite evil cabin in the woods. The cast themselves are young upstarts who have all had various small roles in television and a few movies, the most notable of which being Jane Levy, who some might know from ABC’s Suburgatory, and Jessica Lucas, who you’d recognize as ‘Lily’ from 2008’s Cloverfield. The original lead of the film was going to be Lilly Collins of Priest and The Blind Side fame, but scheduling problems led to Jane Levy being given the role. Along with newly chosen first-time director Fede Alvarez, the new Evil Dead won’t be lacking fresh blood. So to speak. Continue reading Update on ‘The Evil Dead’ remake, ‘Evil Dead’ Lawsuit?

‘Evil Dead’ Remake: More Horror, New Characters, Still No Ash
Evil Dead was a movie that changed how I viewed movies. No longer was I bound by strict genre categories and high budget sensibilities. Evil Dead and its sequels proved that a horror movie can be funny, and a love story can be dramatic and filled with action all without a huge budget.
The trilogy is a pop culture phenom with a highly dedicated fanbase, and if you haven’t seen it, you’ve heard it quoted at some point in your life. When news dropped that it would be receiving a sequel/remake, fans were understandably concerned. Sure, we all wanted to see Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell return to the series that catapulted them to stardom (at least in my eyes), but only if done in the right way.

NHL Goalie Loves ‘The Evil Dead’ – Steve Mason’s Tribute Mask
Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Steve Mason seems to be a bit of a horror fan. He has released some images of his new mask on Twitter. His new mask on one side, has the Ohio state flag, which is pretty bad ass for a flag given its cool shape.
On the other side of the helmet though are the ghosts of the civil war, which ties in with the name Blue Jackets and the Columbus third jersey which has a Civil War canon on it.

‘Evil Dead’ Sequel/Remake Confirmed!
I have been a fan of Evil Dead since I was old enough to watch movies. The entire trilogy was a monumental part of my cinematic development, crafting my tastes and humor at an early age, and ultimatly instilling a deep love for anything related to Bruce Campbell.
Evil Dead was a very low budget extremely indie movie made by Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. Both have moved on to impressive careers and cult favorite status. It told the story of Ash, a young man who goes to a cabin in the woods with his friends, and is soon plagued by a night of evil. And hilarity. The second and third movies got even funnier, and nothing beats Evil Dead 2.
