In WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, Kassie DePaiva plays the small but crucial role of Emma, mother of the rural cannibal clan. As Kassie Wesley, she was Bobby Joe in Sam Raimi’s classic EVIL DEAD II.
"A horrific murder that took place over two hundred years ago gives birth to a vengeful creature, The Easter Witch, who returns to exact revenge on the unsuspecting locals of a California coastal town in the mid-1980s. The town of Emerald Beach holds a secret, a secret that the town’s troubled inhabitants have kept since 1736. Told as a local legend to the town’s children, the words echo on the night air as a caution.
“Run on home. Heed the warning. Don’t come out till early morning.”
But now, in 1986, on the eve of Swedish Easter, brothers Colton and Reid Bergstrom will come face to face with this chilling secret. As night falls over Emerald Beach, Colton and Reid must run for their lives and survive until dawn as a terrifying and ravenous creature known as The Easter Witch begins an unstoppable hunt for the brothers, stalling them at every deadly turn.

Thanks for watching! This is an HD POV of the Evil Dead maze at Universal Halloween Horror Nights 2013! Based on the successful re-imagining of Sam Rami's horror classic, the new maze brings to life scenes from the picture with surprisingly gory detail!
The 2013 Montreal Comiccon/Horrorfest was rife with celebrities, and the obvious big draw might have been George Takei (Star Trek) or maybe Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), but there were three ladies in attendance whom we just had to talk to. These were The Ladies of The Evil Dead: Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, and Theresa Tilly. Together, along with Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, they created one of horror's most beloved films, the cult-classic The Evil Dead (1981). And the three of them formed one of the greatest trio of women since Shakespeare penned "Double, double toil and trouble/ Fire burn, and caldron bubble." Come to think of it, these ladies should campaign for the part in a Hollywood production of Macbeth.
Since I'm not aware of any Macbeth productions coming down the pipeline, let's focus on where you can see these women. Obviously, in the film The Evil Dead and at cons, but also in their webseries Dangerous Women, 2007′s Brutal Massacre: A Comedy, and, most recently, Raimi's Oz the Great and Powerful.

Now that the Sam Raimi-produced remake of his The Evil Dead was an R-rated hit, what comes next? The sequel, presumably, and then maybe that long-gestured fourth Evil Dead, tentatively titled Army of Darkness 2.
But what happens when Raimi has laser focus? Remember when he wanted to make Drag Me To Hell? A preposterous movie pitch that somehow got made – and it was awesome. Now, we’re hearing that Raimi is “determined” to get Army of Darkness 2 off the ground… and maybe even before that Evil Dead sequel.
Universal has set Evil Dead remake director Fede Alvarez to bring the Electronic Arts video game (which is itself based on the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy) to the big screen in live action.
Deadline report that Fede Alvarez will direct a live action take on the Electronic Arts action adventure video game Dante's Inferno for Universal. The game is based on "Inferno", the first canticle of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, (why Universal don't simply adapt that and are going straight for the video game is anyone's guess..but there ya go) and follows the exploits of Dante (reimagined as a Templar knight) as he journeys through the nine circles of Hell to reclaim the soul of his beloved Beatrice from the hands of Lucifer. Jay Basu (Monsters: Dark Continent)is on script duties, with Bruce McKenna (The Pacific) writing an earlier draft.
Boaz Yakin (pictured above, on set of SAFE), co-writer/executive producer of the summer hit NOW YOU SEE ME, will produce director Scott Spiegel’s latest horror film, ZOMBIE WEDDING. Announced last year, the new high-concept project from the EVIL DEAD II screenwriter and INTRUDER director is based on Marc Selz’s screenplay of the same title, which Spiegel rewrote with Selz’s collaboration. Fango’s editor emeritus Tony Timpone will co-produce. ZOMBIE WEDDING follows a couple of young horror lovers who decide to hold a zombie-themed wedding on Halloween night only to have “real” flesh-eating ghouls crash their celebration.
“The main reason I’m excited about ZOMBIE WEDDING is the opportunity to work with Scott Spiegel again, who, as well as being a dear friend, is an energetic and talented filmmaker. Scott always brings something exciting and offbeat to the horror genre,” says Yakin, who co-wrote Clint Eastwood’s THE ROOKIE with Spiegel and also produced HOSTEL, HOSTEL: PART II and 2001 MANIACS. In addition, Yakin directed the films SAFE, REMEMBER THE TITANS and FRESH. He also previously collaborated with Spiegel on the story for FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 2: TEXAS BLOOD MONEY and partnered with him and director Eli Roth on the late horror label Raw Nerve.
The mighty beauties from the original EVIL DEAD, Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, Theresa Tilly, want YOU!!!, to come say hello at Montreal Comiccon
Mike Aiello, Assistant Director of Creative Development for Universal Orlando's Art and Design, describes the haunted house Evil Dead giving the back story and some of the experiences created for the maze. From the media preview of Halloween Horror Nights 23 at Universal Studios Florida.
With the success of ‘The Evil Dead’ remake, it seems like a perfect time to consider revisiting the third installment of the original franchise, ‘Army of Darkness’.
While ‘Army of Darkness’ took a completely different turn from the first two movies, its cult popularity has made it highly probably for another movie. The question is, where would the story go? The movie ends (SPOILER) with Ash back in present day inside S-Mart with his shotgun in hand.
Here are 8 possible ideas for ‘Army of Darkness 2′.
One of the first horror films I ever watched was Evil Dead. Then I was instantly hooked on it. Coming back to Fan Expo this year we talked with Nathan from Evil Dead the Musical and learned more about this collaboration of the films into musical format.
This week, we talk with a man who's resume speaks for itself. From working on movies like Wishmaster, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 (we make the mistake of saying 3 in the opening), Scream, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Texas Chainsaw 3D, New Nightmare, Spawn, Phantasm II, Pulp Fiction, and so much more, it's truly an honor to speak with none other than Robert Kurtzman.
From his career to his school to his view on special effects make-up today, he was gracious enough to give us about a half hour of his time! We were so excited to talk with him and we hope you enjoy PSYCOW Ep. 32: Talking with Robert Kurtzman.

EVIL DEAD
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack DLP
UF009
UNSEEN FORCES is proud to present the complete motion picture soundtrack from Fede Alvarez's incendiary 2013 reimagining of cult horror masterpiece the EVIL DEAD. Spanish composer Roque Baños dazzles with a crisp modern orchestral score that bows reverently toward such genre classics as Jerry Goldsmith's The Omen Suite, Anton Webern and Krzysztof Penderecki's creepy string movements from The Exorcist and Joseph LoDuca's beautifully understated atmospherics for Sam Raimi's original creation that launched the grisly Kandarian franchise and revolutionized the contemporary horror film with its startling velocity.
RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 31, 2013
