10 Things You Didn't Know About EvilDead

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

I absolutely love the original Evil Dead it's just so gruesome and over-the-top and it's my favorite in the series as well.

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

@chadergeist the extra scenes are great but I still love army of darkness.

[@13blackcatzzz]

This movie, and The Amityville Horror scared the ever loving crap out of when I first watched them around the age of 14. I had to sleep with a bible and a rosary! 😂

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

@@13blackcatzzz that's great. LOL I've never heard of someone stopping potential demonic forces from a movie with Catholicism

[@mattleblanc5785]

Army of Darkness is my favorite in the trilogy

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

@@mattleblanc5785 army of darkness really is awesome and it's my second favorite of the series.

[@MrJayrock620]

The transition of Ash was awesome. He started out as the guy who feared the knock, to the one that knocks by the end

[@Doctor_Odin]

From final Boy to reluctant rogue hero as in he would rather be doing anything else than answering that call, but when he does finally answer the call he’s going cheat the system if he can find a way. (Like he did in army of darkness using the textbooks in his truck etc..)

[@gregbors8364]

Hail to the King, baby 👑

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

I think what I love most about the first one (and i love all the ED franchise in different ways) is that it encourages people to go out and make their own projects. Every time I watch ED, I find something that I bring back to my own paintings and projects.

[@patriot428]

I was in 6th grade 1986 when i first saw this movie. Scared the crap out of me. My best friend rented it (his mom worked at the video store). I introduced it to my girlfriend in 1993 (our first date haha) we are married today. I love this movie.

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

We grew up with the Evil Dead and they scared us. My kids find them hilarious. I'm scared by my kids. Help!

[@notjustforhackers4252]

I really wish modern Hollywood could display the same kind of determined ingenuity, originality and talent on display in these late 70's early 80's productions. Film just feels, pardon the pun, Dead these days. At least we can still look back at classics like this and be reminded of what film can be. Great video Minty.

[@bannedtwice7767]

Even the crappy 80s B movies are better than the regurgitated nonsense modern Hollywood puts out.

[@dansmith1661]

They only make movies to spread a message instead of making money.

[@louisekinsley718]

I saw this at my local cinema in the UK when I was 17 (underage for an X cert), it had already been released on VHS at this point but was doing so well it had a limited cinema run. My pal and I were really shook up by it as it was so much more effective scares wise on the big screen. Weeks later one dark evening walking through a narrow way surrounded by trees I said, 'it's just like the evil Dead', we turned and looked at each screamed and ran, even later I couldn't even bare the sound of it if I heard it in the background on TV. Never underestimate the power of seeing a horror at a cinema. Can't believe that was 40 years ago.

[@wstine79]

I like Minty's journey to the cabin in the woods while giving us 10 things you didn't know about The Evil Dead. Even the echo in the audio is creepy. Well done.

[@GeorgieB1965]

Agreed. That has to be one of the coolest intros I've ever seen on any of the channels that I subscribe to.

[@TheDoomskyte]

the echo on Minty's voice makes this video unwatchable for me, it's a real bummer cause I wanted to hear his take on this movie

[@TaliaIGhul]

I had no idea what this cast and crew went through when they filmed this movie. Kudos to them for riding all that insane stuff out.

[@1pcfred]

Young people are resilient.

[@pauljoyner4338]

​@@1pcfred And not too smart at times, which can lead to resilience. Like my father told me "Boy if you're going to be dumb, you better be tough."

[@travismiles5885]

I was stationed in Germany from the mid to late 90s and had Evil Dead on VHS. I didn't realize it was banned there until the German girl I was dating saw it on my shelf in my room in the barracks and flipped out. She explained that it had been banned and begged me to watch it. A week later she brought a bunch of her friends back to my room so they could see it too. They loved it! Fun Fact: In the Ash vs Evil Dead TV series every episode has an MSU Spartan logo Easter egg hidden in it. GO GREEN!

[@Saint_nobody]

My dad, and subsequently his family (my mom, brothers and I) was in Germany in the early 90s. Were you near Nuremberg?

[@dizcret]

..sure.

[@markwilliams2620]

GO WHITE!

[@VileMisanthrope]

You best have become the boss of the barracks for that.

[@dizcret]

@@VileMisanthrope Ash..unbeknown, best wing man ever..

[@rodans_boom5941]

To this day, Cheryl's possession is one of the most chilling and frightening scenes in horror movie history. The rolled back eyes never seize to scare the life out of me. Right up there with Reagan's (The Exorcist) possession.

[@gregbors8364]

I’m glad you clarified that. For a second, I thought you meant Reagan (the President’s) possession.

[@rezterralico4369]

Did you know that the sound of the evil entity was recorded in the cabin when the crew at night heard that sound coming through one of the windows of the cabin they were shooting film at? Was in the autobiography by Bruce Campbell from the early 2000s.

[@Omni20One]

I had no idea Sam and Bruce were such close friends. This explains Bruce’s appearances as different people in the Raimi era Spider Man movies. That’s how you look out for your buddies. Also, Bruce nailed each character he played with a great comedic touch.

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

@Donnie Delvecchio I refute that Bruce never made it big. Liam may have been in some popular movies, but Bruce is in way more cult movies than Liam could ever hope to make. Different Strokes for different folks. Bruce is at least as much as a legend as Liam is.

[@ll7868]

Doug Beswick worked on Evil Dead 2 and NOES4:DW, his company Doug Bestwick Productions does everything from making props to stop motion animation, he was the one who gave Sam Freddy's glove that was in the tool shed behind Ash.

[@borntolose1]

I noticed a Freddy glove in the basement during the final episode of Ash Vs. Evil Dead, when he goes down to save Pablo and kill Ruby. No knives, but had the brass backplate. Such a good Easter Egg

[@MandaMalice]

I’d love to see a top ten of parts Bruce Campbell was considered for! Also, a video on William Castle would be fantastic as well. I’ve been fascinated by him and Ed Wood since I was a kid.

[@Shockzone1495]

Another fun fact about this that I find pretty fascinating is that most of the basement scenes were filmed in Sam raimi's mother's basement in Michigan as a last minute add on that they would later put into the film. Which I think is pretty cool how they started out making short films from home only to finish off their biggest project at home

[@docduggan8056]

I got my Daughter hooked on this series. She was sold when we went through The Evil dead house at Universal's Halloween horror nights. While in the House one of the Ashes walked up to her, took a knee, and kissed her hand. He was officially her hero from that day forward. Anything with Ash in it she wants to see. (She's 10) She's been a Horror nut since she was little. She's been doing HHN since she was 3. When someone at HHN in one of the lines asked her why she's not scared she said "Why? They're just people in masks. It's fun!" Her Godfather is a make-up artist, who worked on the Evil dead remake. Even gave her a full latex mask he made of The Creeper from Jeepers creepers. Still Evil dead is her fav series.

[@deathbymazda]

I have a 6 month old daughter. I love movies, but there’s way too much sexual content in movies (like the tree scene in Evil Dead). How did you go about explaining that stuff to your daughter?

[@docduggan8056]

@@deathbymazda I watch them in advance and either cover her eyes, or skip the offending scene for her. Some I just don't let her watch Like "Terrifier".

[@deathbymazda]

@@docduggan8056 That is probably the best way to go about it. It would be cool if there was an app on your tv that would let you edit certain scenes out of a movie before a viewing.

[@dslguy2008]

I was told by someone who grew up in Morristown that they used to throw parties there because it was the Evil Dead house. That’s probably how it burned down. The owner of the land will still let fans visit the remains.

[@michaelb.42112]

I didn't know it burned down. That is so disrespectful. The fact that the owners still allow fans to visit is too nice of them !

[@thetruth1862]

Is this Morristown Tennessee, that's about an hour away from me how cool.

[@dslguy2008]

Yes it’s Morristown, TN. Are you in Knoxville?

[@iamyourhuckleberry1347]

I lived in Morristown the cabin didn't burn it just fell apart due to age and not being kept up the land owner hated ppl going in there because they would leave trash and destroy the land

[@travisa7669]

I can tell you as one who did ROTC field exercises in the woods around Morristown during the early 1990s, those woods are kind of spooky in itself. Great video Minty!

[@M60gunner1971]

I'm from Morristown and the whole area is a cesspit.

[@Dannytcp69]

What a franchise!

[@lt.aldoraine9161]

Yes! One of the few franchises that IMO hasn't had a bad entry. They're all great.

[@dodoubleg2356]

I'm not even sure I could label this as a "CULT classic," rather, it's just a straight up CLASSIC!!!

[@Sci-Fi-Mike]

I first enjoyed Army of Darkness the most from first viewings, but I've rewatched Evil Dead 1 and 2 a number of times, and I've grown to love both of them a lot. They're all amazing movies, and it wouldn't have been possible without the original movie.

[@Stonecutter334]

I actually saw the Evil Dead back then because of King endorsing it so highly. We loved it. Interesting side note when Evil Dead two was released my friends and i went to a preview showing shortly before its wide release. The crowd was in a frenzy we loved it. When we left the theater my friend who was a film student at the time spotted Sam and the Cohen brothers leaving the screening. We told them how much we loved it. They seemed very surprised we knew who they were. Then we immediately blew it by saying we liked Crimewave. A film they considered a complete disaster. I remember the Cohen bros just turned around and walked away. Fun times.

[@davidbauer4355]

I have a fleshy Necronomican set of the Evil Dead DVD's but still went to an Evil Dead drive in showing an hour south last year. I missed seeing them on the big screen and a drive in showing was too classic a way to see them to miss. I only wish they would have triple featured with Army of Darkness as that was the movie that got me interested in the whole series. Thanks for another great look at a movie with lots of interesting historical moments. Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies were so incredible to a fan of the characters. It's interesting to see his humble beginnings in the industry.

[@JuiceBoxScott]

I've never really enjoyed Evil Dead, but it's pretty awesome how much success has come from the crew of this movie. I also love the idea of people just making movies because the love movies. This spirit keeps the industry fresh even if everyone thinks everything is a sequel these days.

[@razorshark9320]

The original Evil Dead is one of my all time favorite horror movies. I never knew about some of these things about the film.

[@bacountess]

This movie was filmed in my hometown. A lot of the people that actually worked on the movie that were locals are still alive and have a lot of history of this film.

[@MrHeadbanger366]

The 80s was a great decade for horror.

[@gregbors8364]

70’s and 80s, the two best decades for horror by far

[@M60gunner1971]

1979 to be exact.

[@B.Piercesports]

Movies period.

[@rezterralico4369]

I love the autobiography of Bruce Campbell. I don't read that often but my brother had a copy of it and I remember for the shaky cam of the demonic entity that the camera was done up on a two by four or something with two people runing in the woods with it. Also there was a recipe in the books for the fake blood they used on set and they actually slept in the house for the shoot while it was pretty cold for them at the time. I think they also premiered the movie in a old abandoned post office at halloween to screen the movie to some friends. Fun stuff Sam Rami and the boys did. I think they grew up using super 8 home films.

[@galactusholmes]

Hey Minty! Jack here, born in the middle of nowhere, TN! Glad to see you cover this gem. The cabin burned down years ago, but the chimney stood for some time afterwards. It was/is a very strange place. It was a place many would go to as teens searching for a scare. I was among them many years ago. You do a great job, my man, but remember: “You know two things, pal. Jack and sh-t, and I just left town”! HA! Cheers, brother!

[@randytessman6750]

This is one of those horror movies that I think it's better with time because you can see the love and the heart that was put into it it may not be the greatest but it's definitely made as a tribute to fans.

[@afox9000]

My favorite of all time!

[@bannedtwice7767]

Evil Dead 1 and 2 hold a very dear place in my heart. Saw them late at night when I was a young teen and was instantly in awe. Loved every minute. Then years later I discovered the third installment through a girlfriend. Loved it before I even pressed play.

[@gregbors8364]

I was actually a little disappointed with 2 when it came out, since it was a reboot of 1 with the comedy elements amped up. But now, of course, I love it.

[@TheEvilDeadGuy]

I've been waiting to see if you were making a video for the original The Evil Dead. Loved it!

[@mancima]

I saw this at a drive-in when it first came out. I was seventeen and it blew my mind. Although I love the whole franchise this is still my favorite because it was the only purely scary one. The others leaned more on comedy. Check out the movie ‘Equinox’ if you want to see where most of Evil Dead’s story was lifted from.

[@gwitherow2172]

Minty, you did great work… again! Thank you, and PLEASE keep ‘em coming!

For all those wondering, the time capsule has never been found. Although there was a podcast where Bruce Campbell described the contents of the capsule. I think there was a cigar, a blown out light bulb and a piece of paper describing the purpose behind the film.

:) Evil Dead is always a fun movie; I've never thought it was "Scary" (despite others that very much were).

A good story.

I still remember like it was yesterday quite fondly a group of my friends in high school around 1996 we were talking about horror movies that were quite gory and that at that time were pretty controversial at the time and The Evil Dead came up in the conversation, I was around 15 at the time and I rented it from the video store and it just took my breath with the filmmaking techniques that were used which were really impressive for a low budget movie, even would be impressive for a high budget movie, the way the camera floated through the woods was very original and gave a sense that something evil was lurking in the woods/cabin, now I own all the movies in 4K UHD and love re-watching over and over.
