A week ago, the Halloweenies returned to the woods to hit record yet again on their reel-to-reel and discuss Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn. Together, they shared their first experiences with the brazen 1987 sequel and revisited its inspiring production history that saw Raimi & co. rebound tremendously in the wake of 1985’s Crimewave.
In the second of two episodes dedicated to Evil Dead 2, the gang moves on from the stacks to weigh in on Joseph LoDuca’s score, thirst over the chiseled looks of Bruce Campbell, debate whether this is the coolest Ash Williams has ever been on screen, argue over the merits of its supporting cast, and marvel at the sequel’s great graphics.
With this episode, the Halloweenies now move ever closer to the release of Lee Cronin‘s forthcoming sequel Evil Dead Rise. Stream both episodes on Evil Dead 2 below and stay tuned next month when your Halloweenies hit the pedal to the metal and race back in time for a battle against the medieval dead in 1992’s Army of Darkness.
