The Evil Dead Black Friday Screening

Overview

When your Friday sees the calendar bear the number 13, it's time to get a little evil. And what better way than to revisit the film that made everyone fear cabins in the woods, be wary of dusty old books, warm to a chainsaw-wielding, shotgun-blasting hero, and take notice of director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell.

Yes, we're talking about The Evil Dead. Yes, we mean the 1981 original effort, not the 2013 remake that it'd be best if we all forgot ever happened. To mark the spookiest time of the year outside of Halloween, the New Globe Theatre and Kristian Fletcher are treating audiences to a big-screen viewing.

We know you've probably seen the movie many times before, but there's never a bad time to return to this classic horror effort. In fact, regardless of the date, there's probably never been a better time. Raimi and Campbell have reunited for TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead, which has just started showing on Australian streaming media services — but if you're a fan, you likely already knew that.
