Having appeared in numerous horror and related genre features as an actor, Ted Raimi has stepped behind the camera for MORBID MINUTES, an on-line anthology series inspired by past TV classics like NIGHT GALLERY and ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS. He discusses those, and upcoming movie work (plus a few words on the EVIL DEAD remake), with Fango below the jump.

FEARnet: Just When You Knew Everything About 'Evil Dead II'...



There are some films that we know so well we don't even need to buy them on DVD. Since they're playing on a 24/7 loop in our depraved little minds. One such classic is Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II, a cult film so beloved it ranks alongside Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Is Spinal Tap. Not only do I know Evil Dead II up and down, inside and out, but I know pretty much everything about its making... Or so I thought.

Sam Raimi defends horror movies against pompous politicians who haven't even seen his films. I think this was just before Evil Dead II was released.

Featured Video - MUGEN stage: Evil Dead II



Info:
This video showcases off the stage I made for MUGEN. It was based on the cabin from the movie Evil Dead II. I made it specifically for the Ash Williams character that is floating around the net. All stage art was drawn by me using the Gimp and no art assets were ripped from any other games.

Sorry about the somewhat choppy video BTW, as this was recorded in Linux while running the windows version of MUGEN 1.0 in Wine.

It can be downloaded here: http://mister-k81.deviantart.com/#/d47731i

Bruce Campbell Joins Sam Raimi, James Franco and Mila Kunis For Oz: The Great and Powerful



Bruce Campbell is full of big announcements this summer. First, he confirmed that a remake of Evil Dead is officially in the works. (With Diablo Cody on board to help write the script no less.) And now, the actor has just tweeted that he will work with his long-time collaborator Sam Raimi once again in Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Director Sam Raimi brings movie magic home with 'Oz'



Metro Detroit export Sam Raimi inhabits a rarefied place in Hollywood.

He's right up there with the Peter Jacksons and Christopher Nolans of that world -- the cinematic maestros who have access to the best actors, crew and visual effects for their box-office blockbusters.

"Sam Raimi is at the top of the top of whatever mountain is tallest," says Steven Gaydos, executive editor of the entertainment industry must-read Variety. "How many directors are in this club of making movies that are monumentally successful, generate billions of dollars, are iconic?"

Raimi burst onto the scene with the 1981 cult classic "The Evil Dead" and moved up to the cinematic stratosphere in the 2000s with the "Spider-Man" trilogy, which has earned about $2.5 billion worldwide.

Now he's at the helm of Disney's "Oz: The Great and Powerful," the mega-budget prequel to "The Wizard of Oz" that is filming at Pontiac's Raleigh Michigan Studios complex.

From there, it's a short drive to the suburbs where Raimi grew up making not-so-amateur movies. But it has been a long journey through buckets of fake blood and a grab bag of genres for Raimi, who has returned to metro Detroit with "Oz" as something of a hometown hero.

"He basically brought a sack of cash back into the Detroit area and dumped it in a big pile, God bless him," says actor Bruce Campbell, whose friendship with Raimi stretches to their teenage filmmaking days in the mid-1970s.

"Oz: The Great and Powerful" anticipates spending roughly $105 million in the state and is approved for nearly $40 million in film incentives. It's the biggest project to come to Michigan under the incentives. And with the incentive program dramatically reduced and redefined under the state's budget for 2012, it could be the last project of its size in Michigan for a while.
