While we wait for new movie Evil Dead Rise, we’ve learned via Entertainment Weekly that Sam Raimi‘s original classic The Evil Dead is coming back to theaters this Halloween season!
The Evil Dead, which is celebrating its landmark 40th anniversary this year, will return to theaters nationwide this October courtesy of Fathom Events and Grindhouse Releasing.
Entertainment Weekly notes this afternoon, “The Evil Dead will screen in theaters on Thursday, October 7 with an exclusive introduction by Bruce Campbell.”
In the 1981 horror classic…
“Ash (Campbell), his girlfriend Linda (Betsy Baker), his sister Cheryl (Ellen Sandweiss), and couple Scotty (Hal Delrich) and Shelly (Sarah York), drive to a remote cabin in the woods for a fun getaway. While there, they find the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (aka “The Book of the Dead”), an ancient tome whose text reawakens the dead when read out loud. After unintentionally releasing a flood of evil, the five friends must fight for their lives or become possessed.”
