The Untold Truth Of Evil Dead

When Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Robert Tapert first came up with the film that would become The Evil Dead, they had no idea that they were about to create one of the most popular horror franchises of all time.
The first movie in the series was shot on a very low budget, but an enthusiastic review from Stephen King quickly made it popular. Audiences soon couldn’t get enough of the campy horror film. Now, the film has had two sequels and a successful TV spinoff, but there might be a lot you still don’t know about the franchise. Let’s take a look at the untold truth of The Evil Dead.

What other '80s horror movies should we feature next?

[@horrorfilmsandstuff]

Elm Street, or perhaps Fright Night

[@Bigbird2099]

elm street

[@horrorfilmsandstuff]

Sorry dude, Tron 3 won't happen. Basically the toon movies were disney's attempt at a Star Wars-esque franchise. Now they own Star Wars, so... there would be no point.

[@mr.summerset8054]

Looper WHY DO YOU INSIST ON SAYING "UNTOLD"

[@VanityCyan]

bad taste

[@rebeccah3091]

Evil dead was such a giant part of my childhood .

[@trevorpayton7752]

Rebecca Hanley same

[@rebeccah3091]

Trevor Payton this was what we would watch in the VCR at Christmas .I even watch the show now .and three times a year watch the movies

[@haicokingma8734]

Rebecca Hanley I still own a ltd edition VHS of the first two movies. I'll never part with them. What did you think of the remake? I really didn't care for it.

[@rebeccah3091]

Dutch Dude I actually respected it for what it was .A different take with a much larger budget .I wouldn't add it too my list to watch every Christmas ,yet I enjoyed it enough watching it that one time .

[@Ruzien]

Same here I still think it's really awesome till this day

[@mattjohnston2]

Army of Darkness is easily one of my favourite movies of all time, and the new TV series does not disappoint! You're right...it IS a good time to be an Evil Dead fan!

[@lurkerrekrul]

You know what always bothered me about Army of Darkness? The fact that Ash seemed like he lost about 100 IQ points between the second and third movies and became a selfish jerk. I mean he was never exactly a genius, but in the third one they turned the character into a dim-witted douche. I know it was done for comedic effect, but it's kind of hard to feel sorry for someone who causes most of his own troubles. If you need to remember three words to stop the world from ending, what kind of a moron doesn't write them down?

[@mattjohnston2]

Yeah. I'm willing to overlook that though. Along with the majority of the rest of the movie! Still...it holds a place close to my heart.

[@darthvato3303]

Matt Johnston loved the 2 video games.

[@mattjohnston2]

Darth Vato me too

[@cheeseburger12]

The TV show is uneven, but when its good, its fantastic! Hail to the KING!

[@madstylesnz]

Evil Dead 1 was just a warm up to the brilliance of Evil Dead 2.

[@Kevinacharles]

It's probably been mentioned already, but some releases of Army of Darkness had the ending where Ash overslept and awoke in a post-apocalyptic world. The UK VHS which I originally purchased had that ending.

[@Keyser666]

I still have that VHS! That ending is the only one I've ever seen.

[@raydunakin]

I have that version on DVD. I think it's called "Ash vs the Army of Darkness". I think the funny ending from the theatrical version is much better.

[@kellyespinosacuriel8624]

That's the ending we got here in México.

[@Mr.Groovy69]

I have the trilogy on DVD and it also has that ending!

[@CurlyFromTheSwirly]

I had bought 2 versions of the VHS. 1 has the theatrical version and deleted scenes. The other had the directors cut with that ending.

[@michaelcoffey498]

In a alternative universe Bruce Campbell is far more known, and ten fold time more respected.

[@linganore123]

Michael Coffey i wish that was our universec

[@thedys70]

Michael Coffey; Bruce is adored by all of us Evil Dead fans, and will be long after he is gone. And that is all that matters really.

[@zombiewarfare2360]

9 of 10 womans love Bruce Campbell in every universe

[@MandleRoss]

And i bet he hates every moment of it.

[@kingdaniel3519]

I hate horror movies in general, but I love the Evil Dead trilogy. Army of Darkness is by far one of my favorite movies. "Baby, you got real ugly!" So many quotable lines from Bruce.

[@rosyramona6246]

Daniel Bell I love horror movies, and I guess day Evil Dead is one of best franchises in the genre.

[@latifandresen-ruter4566]

Nightmare on Elmstreet is pretty cool, too.

[@acompy]

Latif Andresen-Rüter has been quite a dead series for a long time

"Sure I could'a been a king. But in my own time, in my own way, I WAS a king'"

[@rnsteh]

I'm going to say that Ash Vs Evil Dead is a far better show than Stranger Things!

[@shanasimpson2785]

Fappy Underboob hell yes

[@Toolsquatch]

You can't really compare them though, they're different animals: Ash vs Evil Dead is an over-the-top laugh-a-minute gorefest while Stranger Things is a tense sci-fi horror series with endearing characters and a lot of restraint.

[@vir123456]

Toolsquatch you can compare them. Stranger Things sucks.

[@Toolsquatch]

Well that's, like, your opinion man.

[@deepdish2034]

Ugh I really like Ash vs but ST is the shit I'd like to add that maybe without the EDU Stranger Things may not have existed

[@darkangel_1978]

I love this franchise. Ash Vs the Evil Dead is absolutely hilarious.

[@quietdemon8138]

It's so cool that Sam Raimi made the evil dead movies and then can make the Spider-Man trilogy he's awesome

dude... the season 1 & 2 had amazing Demons and i loved how they choragraphed each monster villain which were a master piece totally. i love how they crafted each demon to be different for a boss battle! To this history? you cannot top that! Bruce Campbell is Legend.

[@richardmenz3257]

The show was a great edition so people could make a great game.

[@arcaderkid8449]

@@richardmenz3257 no shit Sherlock e it took you long to figure that out which in time I already knew that. Pretty much its to keep the genre going because Bruce Campbell cannot be playing the role for long, it's to remember him by.

[@arirhamdar394]

must've been the greatest horror saga.. 4 films plus 1 series, and none of them sucks

[@chrisblogs5115]

shane dodson There is a fan made movie of it if it means anything to you :P

[@coolgamerz2052]

shane dodson they were going to do a movie like that it's actually one of the Friday the 13th movies the book was shown but never got shown.

[@akshit133]

shane dodson yes it should u never know it might happen as they say if there’s a dead book there’s alll ways a way 😏.

[@AKNeal81]

That movie was rumored to be in the making for YEARS!!!! I always wish it would've happened but I'm much happier with AVED despite it being cancelled prematurely due to our loveable but cheap fanbase refusing to pony up the cash for STARZ despite getting the best reboot. Period.

[@serpentsepia6638]

I bought my brother that comic a few years ago graded by CGC and signed by Bruce Campbell.

[@JakeHunter2010]

Still Legendary.

One of the badass lines I love from ash: “Everyone knows the story of the serpent in the garden of Eden.” “But this time, you keep the promises and the apple.” “I don’t need them as long as I have the Boom stick!” Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash (The comic book) Sadly it wasn’t made into an actual movie New line Cinema teased to us in 2007

[@rollsroyce7385]

this is good to know..Evil Dead.was one of the first movies.I watched on VHS..when I was a kid..and I was scared...great video😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@takarastar9129]

This makes me appreciate this movie & franchise even more. Thanks for the info!

[@3dpoollvr]

I remember I saw Army of Darkness when I was a little kid I was scared the s*** out of it but after watching a few times I became an instant fan of it and the Evil Dead series

[@arcaderkid8449]

Bruce Campbell and it's team of Evil Dead is LEGEND! definitely one of the best films in history i would watch again because it's timeless moments.

[@tanvirkabir4960]

Evil dead one, i was 7 when i first saw it. Took me 10 years to come out of the fear. I still love that movie.

[@ben87graves]

Its crazy how a small budget and a awesome review from Stephen King can do for a movie. I love all these movies and the tv show kicks GROOVY ass...cant wait to see a new season.

[@boedilllard5952]

I'm glad the editted the ending - LADY, I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store is one of my favorite lines of all time.

[@skeetersaurus6249]

BAD INFO! The Evil Dead was NOT filmed in Michigan - it was filmed in Tennessee. Here's the Wiki on the back-story to that: "The crew initially attempted to shoot the film in Raimi's hometown of Royal Oak, Michigan, but instead chose Morristown, Tennessee, as Tennessee was the only state that expressed enthusiasm for the project. The crew quickly found a remote cabin located several miles away from any other buildings."

[@horrormovies7863]

They moved south Because it was cold in Detroit When they first Found the Cabin it was Covered In Kal Shit

[@P33b4Ugo5omwh3r3]

@Robbie H lmao yeah it was so obvious i remember seeing the cellar was huge compared to the cabin even some of the interior shots were obviouly from some place else. A cabin sitting on such a huge cellar would collapse in just a few years due to wood rot. Same thing again in the series when they revisited the cabin all rooms and cellar shots were in studio or random other places. I always found it hilarious and too obvious to miss such details :D

[@doshi066]

All 4 films and the tv show are amazing...I was very surprised a remake was actually good, I will argu with anyone that I consider the remake is probably the best horror remake in the modern era

[@umersheik]

I’ve seen all parts 3 times and still can’t have enough!

[@jeslawzo]

its so strange how bruce was 39 when he shot this, i legit thought he was in his early-late 20's.

[@BenFilley]

I can think of few movies other than the first 3 Evil Dead that had such an impact on my childhood. It pretty much molded my sense of humor. I haven't watch Ash vs Evil Dead yet. I will. But this is my favorite trilogy of all of them.

[@nohype.streetgrunge.2758]

evil dead 2 changed my life.

[@freefromthematrix7323]

i remember watching this as a kid,,, it totally scared me! one of the best early 80's Horror Films

[@thegreatari]

Thanks for the great video!

[@X-Factor-22]

The first Evil Dead will always be the best for me personally!

[@JoelCraike]

Same the first one is even my favourite movie of all time

[@AlmostAnimixers]

It'd be great to see another film some day. As much as I love the TV series, you just can't beat a good old Evil Dead film.

[@NinjaMamut]

I'd sell a kidney to meet these guys when they were young. Bruce is such a cool guy.

[@cupcakegurls909]

I grew up in a family where this is the series we watch every reunion. We watch this series every Christmas.

[@vinitvsankhe]

Evil dead was so famous in India. I watched it on tape when I was 8 and still consider Ash as an iconic badass Hollywood character

[@ENDOFANAGEMUSIC]

Awesome video :D

[@DsTCoreRuption]

Bruce Campbell himself on the Last Fan Standing tour, Halloween Night, told a group of fans not to expect much more of the show seeing how Starz is not making enough back on it due to pirating being so bad of it.

[@NhBleker]

Core Rupt Why aren't they trying to get their show on Netflix or any another streaming service that has the actual audience that their show needs?

[@shinmusashi44]

Season 3 comes out in Feb. Also you comment about Starz not making their money back makes 0 sense. You don't buy only the show, you buy the whole service. There's no way for Starz to know they're losing money on just this show from pirating.

[@DsTCoreRuption]

That is just what I heard from the mouth of Bruce himself, that is where I got my info.

[@DsTCoreRuption]

And no, I do not claim to know him on a personal level or have steady contact, he did a meet and greet at a comic book store on Halloween and told the fans there the info and to not expect it much longer. He said Starz paid member viewership of the show was low, but the fan feedback was overwhelmingly positive, which kept them making it. Too many viewers are streaming the show instead of paying the membership to watch. I paid for season 1, then I am also guilty of streaming season 2, which I am changing for season 3 in an effort to try to show support. I am just passing on what he said.

[@FMagl]

Core Rupt Thanks for sharing. If Starz drops the show, I hope it won't end on a cliffhanger. :/ I bought the first two seasons on blu ray; I'm not sure if I've ever even watched Starz...

[@ernestwalden3894]

Hats off to ya Mr cambel. All ways loved your movies. Brings back fun memories.

[@isaacvasquez4401]

Just watched the new one that came out this year. It’s amazing. Haven’t seen too much of the old ones just part one and the 2013 one but I will check them all out including the show.

Army of darkness is one of my fav movies. Bruce funny way is the key of this series. Watching the series and it is great man .

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

The franchise is brilliant and we want more movies.

[@Thundarr995]

Did anyone ever notice in The Evil Dead. When Ash puts the trash can over his chopped off posessd hand. Then Ash tossed a book on top of the trash can. The name of the book is A Farewell to Arms. By Earnest Hemmingway. That always cracks me up. To this day my brother and I text each other lines from all those movies. We been Bruce Campbell fans since the 80's. Good? Bad? ...I'm the guy with the gun.🤣

[@k2d10tode11]
