Don't worry Samantha, it eventually gets easier.
1st film = horror.
2nd film = horror/comedy
3rd film = comedy
Remake=horror
TV show=comedy/horror
3rd = comedy action, awesome
Also they are all Groovy
@@alucard624 too bad there are barely any reactors ... react... to the tv-show
@@nobodx The tv show is EPIC!!!
I love how this low budget horror film from 1981 is just as effective now as it was then.
Talk about timeless.
My son is 23 and through me he's very much into Evil dead as me.....40 years later. 😁
This movie is so unique and a lot of that comes from the budgetary limitations. I love the way that almost all of the backgrounds at night are totally black and empty - it wasn't a stylistic choice for the most part, they simply couldn't afford to light the entire area... But it creates this effect like they're surrounded by a murky abyss from which anything could emerge without warning. It keeps the tension high but gives the characters a chance to get some nice facetime because there's nothing to distract from their performances.
Sam Rami and Bruce Cambel are life long friends. bruce has cameoed in all three films of the 2000 Spider-Man films. And Dr. Strange 2. The car a 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 has been in almost every film he made. And is a staple of the franchise.
Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell grew up in my hometown and supposedly came into the video store I worked at. Never when I was there of course.
I haven't seen Dr. Strange 2 yet so I can't say, but from commentary from Ash vs. Evil Dead, Bruce said the Delta is literally in Everything Sam has done including the western where it was stripped down to the chassis and used as a wagon.
@@myopicautisticmetal9035 Yeah the Delta has been through more transformations than Goku.
Bruce was also in Darkman.
@@DominusLuna I I understated all his cameos.
What a debut from Sam Raimi. I was blown away the first time I saw this as a kid. It traumatized the hell out of me. A horror masterpiece.
i also got traumatized as a kid watching this lol. great stuff! 😆😅😂🤣
Same. Remember watching this aged about 10. Scared the hell out of me. 😂
I can’t imagine seeing this as a kid! 😳
@@samantha_schmitt I saw it when I was 7th grade, Mrs. Schmitt, and it scared the hell outta me. It was part of a triple feature with Wavelength and Mortuary, respectively. The latter was really creepy and chilling, ma'am. If opportunity presents itself, check it out on your channel. It'll give you a few jolts
@@michaelvaughn8864 yikes! Thank you for the recommendations!
Evil dead is the gold standard of the cabin in the wood genre...you guys should watch Cabin in the wood too, it's pretty amazing !!
Wait, haven't they watched Cabin in the Woods? Well, you are correct that ED is required viewing before CitW.
Yeah, it was an interesting and inventive take on a potentially very creepy film, Mr. Doyon
The trilogy does get less overtly gory, and more comedic, as it progresses. This is both the most "serious" and most grotesque of the three.
Also, a lot of the stuff you saw oozing or exploding out of people WAS food. The wonders of practical effects!
And there is the TV show which is both more gory and more comedic.
Also, the remake is one of the better horror remakes out there and actually adds something to the franchise.
@@DerMoerpler Yeah, I saw the '13 remake on DVD a few years ago, sir. It actually was pretty damned good👌
@@DerMoerpler Not as fun.
When Ash is giving his dead friend a drink, I crack up every time. LMAO
Talk about a man that is fully in denial of the situation. 🤣
Only ash makes killing demons funny
Even funnier when he starts shaking and slapping his beaten within an inch of his life friend
Love Samantha’s reactions 🤣🤣😂 when you spend most of the movie hiding behind your hands you know the director did a good job.
Samantha's reactions has me in stitches, I was laughing out loud! 🤣🤣🤣
6:45 i love how sam can go from tense>scared>enraged in 1 second.
Samantha's reaction was pure gold. Love this channel 👌
Yes, but she`s cool^^
Groovy
I saw this movie at the cinema in 1982 and have never witnessed an audience reaction like it. It was a game changer in the horror genre in the same way that "The exorcist" and "Texas chainsaw massacre" were in the previous decade.
True.....the entire audience was screaming!
Dang, I've never seen Samantha scream so much in a reaction! And her expression at 26:25 is like "thanks Patrons for making me watch this..." 😅 You two are great as always!
If the patrons could do us a favor and get Peter Jackson's 'Braindead' on a poll I'm pretty sure she's gonna need a bucket!
Evil Dead cost 375 000$ to make and is now considered a cult horror classic..Doing so much with so little budget is amazing !
And it took four years to finish because they kept running out of money.
Yes, corrected for inflation that's around 1,3 million. Still pretty damn low. And of course back then a lot of the budget went to film and developing the film.
@KT You're not very bright are you?
The trivia/behind-the-scenes stories are so entertaining with this one. Hearing Bruce Campbell tell the stories live (he does movie nights around the country!) is amazing. One bit about the arduousness of the filming: nobody except Bruce and Sam spoke to any of the others for a year.
Bruce put a lot of those stories into his autobiography If Chins Could Kill. It's a hilarious read.
@@LordVolkov it’s great I just started it the other day actually
Had fun!!
I agree... i love readin and watching stories behind this and other movies in the series. There is so much to unpack and tell about.
In a Q and A Bruce said the first time he saw Sam was in middle school. And Sam was dressed up as Sherlock Holmes and playing with dolls in the hallway, and Bruce said he avoided him for a while until high school. 🤣🤣
If you think about it: This is actually an absolute masterpiece of film making. It has been created by very young filmmakers (in their 20s) as a small project with a very low budget. However, despite the low budget and their inexperience, they've created such amazing splatter effects as well as super suspenseful and eerie atmosphere (incl. the great sound).
The joy and pure niceness in Samantha's face, that I always enjoy, was completely gone at the end of this film. SIGH. Darn you Evil Dead.
one of the most censored horror films of all time, but also one of the genre-defining horror films.
I think there are 6 or 7 differently edited versions from 81 minutes to 93-96 minutes.
After this film, I began to read and love all of H. P. Lovecraft's stories.
With Hellraiser, The Return of the Living Dead and Nightmare on Elm Street the film icon of the 80s.
Lovecraft!
It's funny, looking back, my intro to H.P. Lovecraft was Metallica's song "The Thing That Should Not Be", with lyrics based on "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" but also references a part from "The Nameless City"
I watched an uncensored director's cut.
After watching the next two, I'd highly recommend watching the TV show "Ash vs. Evil Dead" as well. It's my personal favorite part of the franchise and it's overall really great and fun
Yes!!!!!
Yeah, it's a total binge worthy show. It has a perfect mixture of horror and comedy and it's simply so much fun. I also love the actors that play Pablo and Kelly, such great characters. It's only 3 seasons with 30 episodes I believe, so it wouldn't take them too long to get through it and it would be awesome to see someone else react to this amazing gem of a show. I've only seen one channel do the whole series on CZcams (Sithfurion). Cinema Rules did just the first season and stopped. Can you imagine that? Just when it starts getting good. I was pissed. It would just be nice to get a different perspective on it. Honestly, I'm not going to hold my breath. I suggest it to people all the time and I've been disappointed too many times.
I didn't really care for the series until season 3. Wasn't really a fan of just how stupid they made Ash.
@@Deadite_Scholar Yeah, season 3 is the best one, I liked the daughter element in that season. Also, was he ever really that smart in the movies. I mean Army of Darkness he couldn't even remember 3 words and at one point he drinks scolding hot water and in the first one he's trying to give water to a dead man. So he was never really the brightest guy around you know. Regardless I think of him as more of a willfully ignorant type of person. lol In the show he might of been a little silly at times but not what I would call stupid.
@@robertmolton6761 As a diehard Evil Dead fan, I've always pushed back against the idea that Ash was an idiot in the film series. Now did he do some stupid things sometimes? Sure. He forgot the words in Army of Darkness, but I always chalked that up to arrogance. I don't think this should negate the fact that Ash made gunpowder with his high school science text book, built a functioning gauntlet hand, transformed his car into a steam powered death coaster and orchestrated a successful military campaign against the dead. With few exceptions, I've always viewed Ash as an incredibly smart and capable character.
The movie that started on of the best franchises of all time & made Bruce Campbell an ICON!!! I love the Evil Dead so much!!! Most people like the sequels more but to me this is the best one because its the most horror one of the franchise. I love the atmosphere, the score, the hammy acting, the gore, the eeriness, the practicals...it's flawless in the most imperfect way imaginable. I hope you guys check out the TWO sequels & the TV show because they are class too! "Join us..."😂
Oh my god, is he really an iCoN??
Agreed for me this is the best.
I agree as well. I generally prefer straight up horror to the horror comedies.
I'm with you....this is the best one!
Is NOT a franchise.
🚨 IMPORTANT FACT 🚨
Ash DEFINITELY DIES at the end of The Evil Dead (1981), it's ABSOLUTELY a SELF-CONTAINED story, 100% a STANDALONE film, it has NOTHING TO DO with the rest, CONFIRMED by Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Fede Alvarez.
Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness and Ash vs. Evil Dead are DIFFERENT UNIVERSES, none of them is connected in ANY WAY to The Evil Dead (1981).
Part 2 has much bigger budget. This movie was basically the pilot for his career
I like this one much better than Evil Dead 2 though
@@daltonio6001 It definitely will all depend on taste since all three movies are so different in tone. I think the show did a good job taking something from each one.
Fun fact: All of the actors, except Bruce Campbell, left the movie industry after making this film. Only the actress who played Sheryl started acting again, but like 20-25 years later.
The first part of Evil Dead 2 is a recap of this one. They didn't have rights to the footage of this one when making the sequel.
Bruce Campbell (Ash) is much more a beloved icon than a famous actor. He has been in other roles but relatively few and even fewer many people can name. My favorite role of his is in The X-Files episode “Terms of Endearment” (s6e7).
I love him as Sam Axe on "Burn Notice".
I liked him in The adventures of Bristol county jr
In the end credits, the movie describes itself as "The ultimate experience in grueling horror." Seems like they nailed it!
My personal favorite is the Evil Dead 2. Perfect Horror/Comedy combination. The camera movement is just insane ! You can see it in here as well, but they mastered it in the second film.
Oh god yes! lol
@@Silver-rx1mhno say the name God in vain
@@I70051 Oh get bent.....
So when this film was made, Sam Raimi had two close friends, you may know them, Joel & Ethan Coen. They needed help getting their first film ‘Blood Simple’ financed. So Raimi and Bruce Campbell filmed an iconic scene from Blood Simple as a small trailer and the Coens took it door to door and showed people! It’s a phenomenal film and should definitely be added to your list!!
Poor Samantha! I've seen this movie dozens of times. By far the most entertaining reaction I've seen from you guys!
0:26 thank you for including the screenshot of the poll results. i'm always curious which movies were in the poll and how they finished. most channels only say "this movie won".
i also like to see how the voting went.
Kick ass channel name! I laughed when I saw it, and had to go check out your channel. As soon as I saw your content, I subscribed. 👍
They don't make them like this anymore! This movie is awesome
Hell, Sam Raimi didn't even make the sequels like this.
Definitely watch part 2, it is a classic.
I’m glad you guys watch movies like this because I could never straight up watch it, I need a reaction with it to make me less scared
This is my favorite horror movie of all time! It completely changed how I see both horror and comedy!
Hope you guys check out the sequels as well, including the badass reboot from 2013 (don't worry all the original creators were involved with it)
Some people didn't like the reboot because of course what's Evil Dead without Bruce Campbell as Ash, but as a huge Evil Dead fan I thought it was actually pretty well done and good in it's own right getting back to the straight horror as it was originally intended. As you pointed out Robert Tapert, Sam Raimi, and Bruce Campbell were producers on the project so it still had the authentic seal of approval.
I think you mean Evil Dead 2 because this one really isn’t a comedy number two is where the comedy starts.
@@CynicalGear I wasn't going to say anything, but you're right, the first one is straight horror with a couple unintentionally funny parts, the second is horror/comedy, and the third is comedy/horror.
@@CynicalGear The first movie has a lot of humor too it imo. It's just very unique in how it's integrated into the movie hence why I say it completely changed how I see comedy and horror. A lot of people don't recognize it I guess because of how twisted and dark the whole thing is.
And the TV series!!
The second movie is basically a larger budget, "slapstick horror" remake of the first. It is about 1000% of the insanity of the first movie. Super gory and hammy and hilarious. Imagine if the Three Stooges starred in a gory R-rated horror movie.
Your reactions to the jumpscares were amazing. 🤣 Also the pencil in the ankle still freaks me out more than anything in any Saw movie. 🤢
I highly suggest “Possession” also from 1981. It’s another really crazy horror movie that’s also really good.
Isabelle Adjani (Possession) and Ashley Laurence (Hellraiser) are my horror movie crushes. Also, Sam Neill is great in Possession.
Really underrated movie. Great atmosphere to it.
Possession by far is the most toxic relationship movie ever made
@@MikeHunt90731 the director was actually making it during his divorce
Never seen that. Will check out.
"youre under more furniture?!?!" loool man just keeps getting trapped under bookshelves
I like the first one. A definite slasher film, but very well done. Evil Dead 2 is my favorite in the series. A cross between slasher and the three stooges. Very bloody, very funny. And Army of darkness is just a lot of fun where we get FULL ON ASH.
Man, you guys do not miss with the movies y'all react to. One of my top horror movie favorites. I hope you guys make it to 100k soon, y'all are getting close.
I am writing this to help out tbr Schmitt and Samantha and this video and this channel with the algorithm ✌️❤️😚☺️
I'm so glad you did this film. It genuinely baffles me how many other reactors ended up skipping this one due to poor advice, it's such a disservice to them and understanding why Evil Dead is so highly regarded.
The first is the best. The next two are way too cartoonish.
@@ryanjacobson2508 it’s their style. It’s not better or worst, just different. I prefer the other 2, but I can understand people that like more the first one. All about taste…
12:20 "Oh she's strong!!"
~"I once saw her kill three people in a cabin with a pencil, with a f*ckin...pencil" LOL
Scared Samantha is the best! 😂
This is by far the BEST reaction to this movie I’ve seen!
Also, I’ve watched this movie SOOO many times but even I jumped at moments during this reaction because of how scared you both got lol.
Great reaction, I can’t wait to see your reactions to the next 2!
6:26 "that was you, forsuree"
classic guy who just got scared move right here
Thank you for doing it the proper way and starting with the first movie.
This is one of my fav horror movies ever and up to this very day I remember seeing the tv ad for it (well, the announcement that it'll be on tv is what I mean) which didn't really show much... it did show the swing, the car approaching the cabin (with the camera behind) and one of the pov shots and something about the basement... and the announcement that it'll be on tv at 1AM in the morning. I couldn't have been older than 14 at the time so I didn't get to stay up late but... a friend recorded in on vhs so I got to see it a month later :D
Needless to say, it hit really really hard :D
It's amazing that the special effects still hold up to this very day. Not in a "oh this is totally believable way" but more of a "I know this is fake but it still hits heavy" which is the charm of practical effects.
Anyway, sequel is good (and a bit more of a comedy at times), Army of Darkness is also good, so is the 2013 remake and... the tv show which had 3 seasons.
Imagine seeing this on the big screen! I did when originally released, and several times after as I convinced more & more friends to see it as well. A CLASSIC. Thanks for reacting to one of my all time faves (all in the franchise really, including the TV series)! Cheers!
Hope you two are having an great and awesome weekend ❤
Hello Schmitts!! That was probably the most fun I've had yet watching one of your reactions. Absolutely hilarious. As other people have said, after this it gets more comedic although still with plenty of blood lol. Raimi and company's background when they made films together in high school was always comedies but when they went to make their first feature they chose horror because it horror was cheap to make and was very much rising in popularity at the time. Highly recommend you guys continue with the series including the tv show and the 2013 remake which is very worthwhile. Fun fact about this movie and its grossness, Lucy Lawless (star of Xena) said she saw this when it came out and she thought "the people who made this movie must be the sickest people on the planet" and years later she ended up married to one of them (producer Rob Tapert) and working with them a lot (Tapert and Raimi produced Xena, Spartacus and Ash vs the Evil Dead all of which Lawless is in). And yes, the opening of Evil Dead 2 is a pseudo-remake of the original and the do a similar thing on the 3rd one as well so the continuity with these movies never *quite* lines up exactly but it's ok they're just for fun!
Great to see how effective the original Evil Dead is all these years later. Watch it again with commentary sometime (once you've recovered). It's such a treat to hear Bruce talk in detail about all crazy challenges they faced trying to bring this film to the world. Truly an indie success story!
This has to be one of the best reaction vids I have seen. You were both so much fun to watch in this one. Evil Dead has always been a fave of mine ever since its release date, and one of top ten in the horror/comedy grouping.
The 2nd movie has a recap of this movie but they didn't own the rights to this so they recast his girlfriend and left the others out to refilm scenes. Bruce Campbell said the best way to watch is fast forward until the ending of the entity attacking him happens then play
Hence, what I call The Evil Dead 2, a mini remake and sequel. Best way to describe it.
This is the only one of them with a believable element of evil…. Where it truly brings a sense of terror. I watched this when I was pretty young, and of all the horror movies I’ve seen over the years, this one haunted me the most
Even as a teen I was just amazed by the creative cinematography. Rarely did I notice stuff like that back then but it was pretty much impossible not to with this one
If you watch the movies, and then the show Ash vs Evil Dead. You will fall in love with the character Ash Williams. There is a lot more comedy mixed in to balance everything out. If you stick with it, you will love the series.
Hail to the king 👑 and queen 👑 tbr Schmitt and Samantha ✌️❤️😚☺️
22:32: “Shut up, Linda!”
Lol, that always tickles me.
Bruce Campbell’s just the best.
~*~*~
28:49: Wait, what? I can’t believe people actually suggested to start with “Evil Dead 2” and skip this. WTHeck?
So much creativity, great direction, Joe DeLuca's stellar soundtrack, sometimes it just all comes together and this is a perfect example.
You should definitely submit "The Exorcist" to your patreons to vote on. It is a classic horror film that everyone should see.
Groovy
@@justindenney-hall5875 and? You must be fun at parties
Love Sam's reactions to all the gross shenanigans. We watched this movie SO MANY times when I was in college, my favorite thing was showing this to new people who hadn't seen it, and now I kind of get to do it again through YT reaction vids. I loved also that you picked up that Ash played the "closed eyes" game with the demon version of Linda as they'd done over the necklace earlier.
Very happily surprised to see this reaction posted! Love the franchise and they are some of my biggest influences as a filmmaker!
Watched this movie wayyyy too many times back in the mid-80's.
Campy, unique and fun as hell.
Best Evil Dead reaction ever! I'm sure Sam Raimi would take the screaming as a compliment.
I saw this when I was about 13 years old. Scotty, "You're not gonna leave me, are you, Ash?" Followed closely by zombie in the cellar, "You're not gonna leave, me are you, Ash?" Evil Dead has stayed with me since. Great reaction! That was a rough watch, I could see plainly you two were as disturbed and freaked out as I was! And that scream from Sam...instant classic! Hooah! for making it all the way through in one piece, guys! ( :E
My cousins and their mom, my maternal aunt, and I saw The Evil Dead back in early spring of '83 when I was in 7th grade. It scared the hell outta us seeing it on the big screen😟 Thanks for previewing the movie, Mr. & Mrs. Schmidt👍🙂 I ♥️ your reactions to all the flicks
That was an AMAZING reaction! I had an absolute blast. And really, you're through the worst of it now. Evil Dead II is kind of a slapstick movie rather than a horror. Raimi has always been more interested in entertaining his audience than scaring them.
Really, this movie owes so much to Stephen King, who saw it at the Cannes film market and then wrote a review of it. Having a Stephen King quote ("THE MOST FEROCIOUSLY ORIGINAL HORROR FILM OF THE YEAR") on the poster for your low budget indie horror, well... Ka-ching!
Probably the funniest reaction video you guys have done! The amount of jump scares was hilarious 😂
Poor Sam, im there with ya girl. I watched this film when i was in Middle School. I had nightmares for days. Good on you on getting through it. Cheers to both of you from NJ USA.
I was lucky enough to have seen this at a drive-in when it first came out. I was a junior in high school and had NEVER seen anything like it at the time. It made me a huge fan of horror movies. Great reaction!
as a kid, that card reading scene scared me quite badly. (also, if you enjoy these you should watch Ash Vs Evil Dead. it's a great series and better than the films)
It is one of my favorite cinema scenes in general.
If you plan on watching the amazing sequels, be advised that the first few minutes of Evil Dead 2 are a simplified recap of this one, essentially.
I watched the full length last night and it was so much fun watching you guys get this experience for the first time. I had to check out the CZcams edit to see what you were able to keep😊
Milk and oatmeal ... if you didn't like them before, well, all hope is lost after seeing this movie. Have to say, this low budget film showed so much promise and talent from Sam Raimi, it's actually kind of phenomenal. So many things in Evil Dead are wonderfully clever and unique and cool.
My favorite of the trilogy is 2 because it is so cartoony and fun. But a warning to newbies to these flicks: Evil Dead 2 kind of starts with a recap of the 1981 film but they had to film it new because they didn't have access to the original movie for some reason. So, some viewers thought that it was part of the second movie and not a "previously" sequence. It's hard to explain.
Raimi did some interesting things: Darkman, Oz the Great and Powerful, and more.
I first saw this movie in college in the mid 80s on VHS. I was revolted, LOL. But I saw signs of a director and writer with promise. I enjoy certain things in Evil Dead: Cheryl's demon voice in the cellar is delightfully spooky and unsettling (mimicking Scott: "You're not gonna leave me, _are_ you, Ash?") The musical score is really effective, and kind of poignant at times and scary at others. There are artsy touches peppered in there, like that exterior of the cabin at night with the full moon which becomes obscured with a dark liquid that blossoms over the sphere.
Super reaction here, loads of fun to watch you two flinching and laughing and jumping. 😄
Yay I was waiting for this reaction thank you tbr Schmitt and Samantha and hope you both are doing well and are having a good day or night so far ✌️❤️😚☺️
Classic, second one is even better. And you gotta love the third. Don’t forget there’s a show now too!
Evil Dead 2 is my favourite movie, so I’m looking forward to your reactions to that! The first one is a brilliant movie, they both have Ash snap, but ED2 does it in a different way. Great reaction to this one!
26:01
TBR, “Hey, the sun’s out!”
Sam, “Oh, goodie….!”
Love you guys’ reactions
This movie ranked at #76 in the 100 scariest movie moments on Bravo, cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both take care
@@justindenney-hall5875 What TV Special, I Meant The Movie
@@justindenney-hall5875 I have the movie trilogy, especially for the TV series, not into TV these days
Also the same car Uncle Ben drives in Spider-man.
Hey Schmitts! Awesome, as after watching your reactions to Kill Bill and The Fugitive, this one makes it a perfect ending for today's binge. The first Evil Dead is certainly unique in its production and surprisingly effective combination of uneasy tension and just pure gore, as both of you noted. Samantha, when I watched it the first time my reaction was pretty much like yours, and you are right Daniel, this is so far the only time I have seen you with a hand up in a video. Looking forward to the next one!
I remember this when it came out....It was what was called here in the UK a "Video Nasty"...And was band for sometime...But I got to see it with friends...Pirate video copy....It was crazy to see back then.....but the more times you watch it...the funnier it becomes...."We're Gonna Get Yea!"...was a saying for years!...hahaha.....Me and a work college were fans and went to the cinema to see "Army of Darkness" when it came out....It was such a laugh...we laughed all the way through!..Not sure what everyone else in the cinema thought..hahaha.!...We then had the sayings..."Groovy!"...and "Let's Go Get Ourselves A Witch"..classic!.
It's okay TBR you'll be able to sleep through the night. Tomorrow you can have nice big bowl of oatmeal 😋
Crazy movie lol
I've loved the True Romance and The Fly reaction from you two, watching this one right now!! Can't wait! 😍
Sam, Bruce and the Coen Bros are buddies from way back.
I highly recommend A Simple Plan, his best non horror/CB film.
Sam roomed with the Coen Brothers, Holly Hunter, Frances McDormand, and Kathy Bates some time after this came out.
Evil Dead 2 is my favorite. The very best of the trilogy. Im easily scared in movies but what I like its that you can fight to survive, and Ash is a pro on that.
You guys should watch the remake as well 🙏
The sound design for such a low budget film is amazing. It really elevates this film.
The scene of the pencil in the ankle’s truck in my mind all my life 🫣
Yes, yes, yes. There are so many awesome B-movies from the 80s, when B-movies still showed up in theaters and didn't go straight to DVD. Everything from the "Ernst" franchise to the "Critters" franchise. Sure they were cheap and derivative. But like "The Evil Dead," B-movies are where great filmakers and actors cut their teeth.
OMG haha NEVER expected this reaction ❤️
Best. Crazy. Monsters. Ever. These demons really truly love messing with people.
The gore and puppetry in these old movies are simply delightful.
Best watched on a grubby vhs rental tape at a friends house in 1984 and not being old enough to see it.. ;) Evil Dead II is perhaps the best of the 3. Total belly laughs when I watched it with a mate back in the day for the first time. Keep up the great reactions! :) I see you had Rosemary's Baby on the poll, its another MUST watch!
Please, give the remake a watch as well! It's a great movie on its on merits (i.e. doing it's own thing and taking everything dead serious). It's also ridiculously gory, Samantha will LOVE it I'm sure, lol.
This. The remake is great in its own right, especially the 3rd act.
I was combing the comments to make sure someone suggested the remake. 100% agree! Watch this movie, guys!
Yeah. The remake bring the gore to a new level.
I think this is my favorite reaction on your channel so far. I love Evil Dead, Bruce Campbell, and Sam Raimi so much. I think Samantha will enjoy Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn a lot better. It's so much fun. It's very similar in his editing of the Spiderman Trilogy Sam Raimi made. I can't wait for your reactions to Part 2 and Part 3 (Army of Darkness). I really do hope if you guys enjoyed this trilogy that you guys watch "Ash Vs. The Evil Dead" Series. I think each episode is 30 minutes and it's so much fun! Also, hope you guys also check out the remake of Evil Dead. It's actually really good but on a different level. Loved this video. Long live the Chin.
Enjoy watching you guys. The next two soon please. You'll have a blast!

"Ash, you cannot be this dumb!"
Oh, trust me, he can be a LOT dumber.
Dumb and lucky! Thats why we love him!
Ash: "Challenge accepted!"
Those demons were scary
This brings back so many memories as me and my friends as teenagers used to watch these kind of horrors in the 80's. Hope you watch the other 2 Evil Dead movies.
Bruce Campbell is from Birmingham, MI and a life-long friend. I went to the premier of this film at the old Redford Theater in northwest Detroit in 1981. Fun night. Bruce's dad Chuck Campbell was a hoot and a very funny man! The film was made with the budget of $350,000.
