Count Gore De Vol presents THE EVIL DEAD (1981) – 45th AnniversaryJoin us for some creepy good fun when local TV legend Count Gore De Vol (Dick Dyszel) returns to present another cult favorite in the spirit of theoriginal CREATURE FEATURE broadcasts, including vintage clips from the Count’s vault and interactive fun and games.
Sam Raimi’s original vision for this slasher horror film was an indie experiment that would inspire a genre; he used the low budget to his advantage and injected humor into the Satan-laden narrative. Five college students, including Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), travel to a cabin in the Tennessee woods where they encounter evil spirits emanating from an audio tape and embodying the environment around them, resulting in increasingly gruesome and gory deaths. The film was a mild box-office success, but was lauded by critics, and even screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 1982. It would go on to spawn a franchise, including sequels, video games, a TV show and a big-budget remake. RATED NC-17
