Shawn Van Horn has been a Senior Features Writer for Collider since 2022 with a focus on horror, and 90s TV and movies.
The Big Picture There have been five Evil Dead films and a three-season series over the last four decades, with the fandom for Ash Williams and the Deadites spreading from one generation to the next. Campbell starred in the first three movies, along with Starz's Ash vs Evil Dead television series, before handing over the reins to a new group of actors for 2013's Evil Dead reboot and this year's Evil Dead Rise.
Release Date April 15, 1983 Director Sam Raimi Cast Bruce Campbell , Ellen Sandweiss , Richard DeManincor , Betsy Baker Runtime 85 minutes Main Genre Horror Writers Sam Raimi Studio New Line Cinema The 'Evil Dead' Franchise's Place in Horror History Going into the 1980s, horror was taking over cinemas thanks to the slasher film boom. John Carpenter's Halloween in 1978 set off a craze of hulking men in masks chasing teenagers through the woods and wherever else.
Stephen King is a household name now, but even 40 years ago almost everyone knew who he was thanks to popular novels like Carrie and The Shining, as well as their well received film adaptations. He was in the audience the night The Evil Dead was screened at Cannes. The purpose of showing any movie at Cannes is the hope to find potential buyers. Now, that's not where King could help. He was an author, not a movie exec. He could help, however, through his massive popularity.
