I never thought about merging The Evil Dead with Evil Dead 2 as they're two different styles of horror. The first one is serious and then other is more comedic. The remake is just as serious as the first one though the tone is more darker.

Which is your favorite, Monty?

Evil Dead 2 is my favorite. To me, it always felt more like Evil Dead 1.5 so i could easily see them being merged into one film. I also love both the horror of the first and humor of the second, and together they would be more balanced.

I like that "Evil Dead 1.5" very much. Perfect description!

The Original Evil Dead is just the Greatest 80's Grindhouse film ever made. Evil Dead 2 is a great sequel, but like a Remake/Sequel. I can accept the transition from Evil Dead to Evil Dead 2, but I hate the transition from E D 2 to Army of Darkness, they go from "Hail Hail Hail" to "my name's Ash and I'm a Slave!" The Original us my favorite, I love 2, but I feel they took the slapstick too far with Army of Darkness, it's like We are almost not even in the same Franchise anymore. I wish it was Darker, but still a great movie. Awesome video!😀

That is such a strange transition. Why do you think they changed it? Do you think they were going for a darker tone originally and then decided to make it screwball slapsticky by the time they made Army of Darkness?

Apologies if you already knew this, but Bruce Campbell said that if you stop the first movie right when the camera zooms in on him and cut to the second movie at a similar moment, that's the truest cut of the film. So you were on the right track of combining them for a better film.

I didn't know this! I really need to delve into the behind the scenes/history of the franchise. I love that it has persisted over so many years and that old friends have been able to work together for so long. :)

If you cut out the beginning of Evil Dead 2 in which they summarize and rehash the beginning of the film, and pick up with Ash running through the woods away from the Evil, the story continues from the first one fairly well. Yes the story becomes more slapstick, but if you see the movies as being from his perspective, his sanity is slipping, so it would get less serious.

Great point! He is unraveling throughout the movie. And he's sleep deprived / losing blood on top of it all.

I'm not really a fan of the Evil Dead movies. I do think the first one had some pretty good scares and I've heard that some of it was filmed here in Michigan. That's kind of cool.

I do love all the Michigan references in the series. :)
