    "You bastards, why are you torturing me like this? Why?"
    Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Bruce Campbell and Directorial debut of Sam Raimi.
    Time Capsule Fact: At the end of principal shooting in Tennessee, the crew put together a little time capsule package and buried it inside the fireplace of the cabin as a memento of the production to whomever found it.
    Make Your Own Blood Fact: The blood is a combination of Karo syrup, non-dairy creamer, and red food coloring. At one point, Bruce Campbell's shirt that he wears in the film was so saturated with the fake blood that after drying it by the fire, the shirt became solidified and broke when he tried to put it on.
    Location Location Fact: Filmed in a real-life abandoned cabin. The property's owner granted the production crew to lease the cabin, under the condition that any modifications made for filming were to be undone. The crew kept their promise and the only thing that remained in the cabin was the fireplace that was specifically built for the film. The cabin has since been destroyed and only the fireplace is still intact.

    If you wait until Spooky Season 2024 to continue the series (if you DO continue), that's ok. Evil Dead 2 starts with a brief redux of the whole first movie because the rights were in limbo and Raimi had to reset the stage.

    The Necronomicon (the fleshbound book) is a guide to releasing very powerful entities through summoning rituals and incantations. The "real" Necronomicon was devised by the author HP Lovecraft as a macguffin for his stories about his Elder Gods and Old Ones. The book was used to summon unbelievably power entities. Some of the lesser entities were confused by humans as "demons". There is a long and complex backstory about the Necronomicon that started with HP Lovecraft and was picked up by later authors.
    HP Lovecraft opened his universe up to other writers and people since the 1930s have been using the Necronomicon and the "Cthulhu Mythos" as subjects and tropes in horror books and movies ever since. This movie has the Necronomicon make an appearance as a trope for the stuff going wrong. The creatures that were summoned use humans as doorways into our world. That's why they get progressively messed up.
    The skewed camera angles are called "dutch angles." The director is famous for his use of frenetic camera movement and crazy zoom shots. The movie was very low budget, but was considered groundbreaking for its gore and special effects.

    • @cinemawithsteph
      @cinemawithsteph  Год назад +1

      Thank you for that explanation regarding the book! That’s really helpful background to something I was really confused about 😅

    I’m so glad you really enjoyed this.Horror movies have been around,since the 20s or before,but-at least I think-the movie that started our modern view of what constitutes a horror movie,in terms of combining things that don’t actually exist such as zombies or monsters with a realistic treatment of how things would be if they did exist,and using these for allegorical purposes,would be the original Night of the Living Dead from,I think,1968.I’m not sure where all the modern cliches you might see in horror movies(the word I think you were trying to think of to describe these is “tropes”) came from,but it also might be from this movie.Then again,I might be biased on these issues since the original Night of the Living Dead is my favorite horror movie.

  • @csgollum
    @csgollum Год назад

    First off, your background looks cool.
    Wow, I'd never have the guts to watch a horror film when I'm by myself, even 'Evil Dead'. Good on you! I myself prefer the 3rd installment of this series though... it's funnier.
    When someone asks questions like 'Is anybody /anyone out there?' in a dark, scary place (some even known to be haunted maybe), I wonder what they would do if someone actually answered.
    'Psycho' should definitely be on your must-watch list. Also, if you are looking for other Hitchcock-directed films, here are three of my favourites: North by Northwest, The 39 Steps, and Rear Window.

    • @cinemawithsteph

    This is my favourite horror movie. The effects, the sound design, the camera work, and Baby Bruce. Linda's iconic "We're gonna get you.." is on par with Nightmare on Elm Street's "1, 2, Freddy's coming for you..". The fact this was basically a low-budget student film is astonishing, considering its execution and cultural impact on the film industry, creating the whole "cabin in the woods" horror genre. You will absolutely love the sequels. FYI, Part 2 has a 10 minute recap of part 1 as the opening, but due to Sam Raimi not having rights to footage from the 1st film, they had to reshoot, recast, and simplify the storyline so people who hadn't seen it could catch up. So that will assuage your confusion. Ash is one of the best final girls ever. Imagine having to kill your best friend, sister, and girlfriend? His character development throughout the franchise is iconic. You must be the only reactor to not blanche at the tree r@pe scene, still shocking today. Females in particular usually take issue with it.

    If you mean like Jack in the box (as I like to call em) type of scares where they look one place and you expect it to be there and it’s not, I would say one of the early movies that did it was the original “the thing from another world” from the 1950s. If you watch a lot of those old movies there’s no real jump scares like today. And in the the thing they’re always opening doors and sure enough that one time the thing is behind the door. I’m not sure if they set it up that way for that scare exactly but that was probably one of the first few if not the the first Jack in the box scare

    Regarding the possession rules, there are no strict rules. There are a few that are used
    Death, a souless body is easy to possess
    Infection, Can occur from a wound inflicted by a deadite.
    The pov/ evil catches you
    These are the main ways of being possessed by deadites but they are not strict, some people ignore 1 but are possessed by the next one, etc. Characters having a strong will seems to help but again, nothing is 100%

    Horror movie tropes have built on each other over time. From original silent film stop motion monster horrors of the 20s like The Lost World, and Nosferatu, through 30s horrors like Frankenstein and Dracula and the Hammer film production horrors of the 40s/50s. Then the B-movie horrors of the 50s. Psycho 1961 would be the first major horror film to reinvent the wheel, but even Peeping Tom 1960 was the first with camera pov from the villain. 70s horrors were more cerebral psychological, character based, before the schlock horror/slasher genres took off in the 80s. 90s horrors became more meta with Scream, then we had torture porn and found footage genres in the 2000s, before developing into the elevated cerebral social commentary horrors we have today

    Black Christmas, codified a LOT of the tropes into one movie, and the director of that film was friends with John Carpenter of Halloween. but there are earlier films with part tropes, Peeping Tom, first person killer, the italian giallo's they had some of the tropes, but Black Christmas put them together, then from there halloween thats the first "slasher" movie. which was the start, so many, but the one that put it together

    Great reaction Steph like always, this movie may lack in budget or sophistication it more than compensates for in raw power. The terror is relentless and unstoppable. There some fun facts about this classic, the cast and crew were mainly made up of Raimi’s close friends and family, campbell and the cast members smoked pot during one particular scene, the original script called for all the characters to be smoking pot when they are first listening to the infamous tape. Campbell & co. decided to try this for real and be smoking real marijuana while they were shooting the scene. The attempt was wildly unsuccessful as the actors were unable to nail their performances and behaved uncontrollably. The film was banned in several countries after its release. The crew burned furniture to stay warm on set and things didn’t get any better as the production came to a wrap. During the last few days on set, the conditions had become so extreme the crew began burning furniture to stay warm. Since at that point only exterior shots needed to be filmed, they burned nearly every piece of furniture left. Because of Raimi’s decision to keep the film as gruesome as possible, not giving much thought to censorship or ratings, the indie-horror flick got mired in a maelstrom of controversy when it debuted. So much so, the movie often got bunched together with other polarizing efforts of its era like Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit on Your Grave. Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Ukraine, West Germany, and Singapore were some of the countries which outright banned The Evil Dead upon its release. In the UK the film was granted an X certificate for cinema release only after 49 seconds was trimmed from it. Keep up the good work.

    While there are 1000s of great horror films, I've compiled an essential viewing list of genre-creating/defining, iconic, impactful horror films in pop culture. I'm talking the BIG films that everyone on the street knew about, and are legendary in terms of pop culture references.. These films inform every other horror film/trope, and mostly spawned franchises. They are like the "spine" of horror, the original blueprints, from which all other horrors branch out from. If you start with these, everything else will fall into place.
    1961 Psycho
    1968 Rosemary's Baby
    1968 Night of the Living Dead
    1972 Deliverance
    1973 The Exorcist
    1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    1975 Jaws
    1976 The Omen
    1978 Halloween
    1979 Alien
    1980 Friday the 13th
    1981 The Evil Dead
    1982 Poltergiest
    1984 A Nightmare on Elm Street
    1996 Scream
    1999 The Blair Witch Project
    2004 Saw
    2007 Paranormal Activity
    Plus one of my personal favourites: The Haunting 1963 (was adapted into the netflix series House on Haunted Hill)

    It was CBS top 10 pm show, but the network cancel the show because Warner Bros. own the rights to the show and thus received the lions share of the revenue. Although CBS allowed the writers to shoot the final fifth season with an open ending.
