Dead by Dawn: An Evil Dead Art Show

Overview

When the ancient Sumerians created their own version of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, they can't have known the horrors they'd unleash. First, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis would accidentally fall into the hands of a group of college kids. Then, it would terrorise a big-chinned guy by the name of Ash, taking his right hand, sending him back to Medieval times, and still stalking him decades later.

Now, the whole hellish adventure at the heart of The Evil Dead franchise has inspired yet another terrifying ordeal. No, we don't mean the 2013 remake. Instead, we're talking about The Scratch's artistic tribute to the Bruce Campbell-starring movie series.

Featuring pieces by 30 creatively minded fans, Dead by Dawn: An Evil Dead Art Show amasses what we can only assume is the grooviest collection of paintings and drawings of Deadites, boomsticks and chainsaws the world has ever seen. It all kicks off with a boozy shindig on July 13 — complete with Brewtal Brewers' Malt Monster imperial stout, and timed as a precursor to the dive bar's annual Weekend of Darkness drinking festival — and then continues its demonic display until the end of the month.
