The Evil Dead, Halloween II, Friday the 13th, An American Werewolf in London, A Nightmare on Elm Street, I love the 80s horror greats. Great video, Tyler. Us 80s babies were spoiled good.
Do you remember your first horror movie? Mine was 'The Deadly Spawn', then called 'Return of the Alien's Deadly Spawn'. Would have been the late '80s when I was in elementary school and had a spiked mullet.
Can't say anything new about Evil Dead that hasn't been said. Going to video stores back when it was all VHS, all the glorious box art for horror movies was heaven. Really miss those days.
I remember renting ED1 on VHS here in the UK (before it was band by the nasty Mary Whitehouse) at my local chemist (yes a chemist) when I was 10, no parents with me, taking in by the excellent drawn box art ... I must have rented it like 20 times in a row, renting was cheap back then followed with ED2/3 which I saw at the pictures (old school name for movie theatre in the UK), the good old-days :-)
I was 18 in 1983 when I moved out and for the next dozen years I had several roommates that worked at video stores so there was always a steady supply of movies to watch and extra VCRs as well. It was a movie hang almost every day/night. Great times! The best movies! Free beer, etc., too for "hosting" all the time. The roomies that worked at the video stores would get a reduced rent and I was happy to eat it. Seeing The Evil Dead for the first time at home in the summer of 85 is a memory that is still vivid as fuck for me. I watched it at least 3 times in one long day and night with a bunch of people who had never seen it either and it was just the craziest shit ever. It's my favorite horror flick next to The Exorcist.
My parents let me watch evil dead 1 and 2 on home recorded VHS tape at 8 years old. So when Army of Darkness came out when I was 11, we had a family outing at the theaters. I had the best childhood as a baby of the 80's! My local video store, double take video, let me rent every Horror movie ever made. A lovely little Asian lady that never looked twice at my rental choices. Screw you blockbuster!
I remember first watching this on the "Zombie-A-Go Go" week hosted by Rob Zombie on the Sci-Fi Channel. I love the gore, camera techniques, and characters.
How dare you shout Go Blue when there’s a Michigan State sweatshirt right on screen! 😆 Weirdly, my grandma and I watched The Evil Dead together. She loved horror movies.
I watched it for the first time in the early 2000s when I was about 17 and I recall my grandmother asking me later which comedy I had watched due to my non stop belly laughs all throughout 😅
I actually think that the swing suddenly stopping by itself to be one if the creepiest scenes of The Evil Dead. It shows that even without the books influence there was still something "wrong" with this place. Whatever it was may not have been very strong, but it was still there!
Sad to see the Glenwood theater torn up Great memories there.....also saw Friday the 13th 3d at the movie theater that was at Washington Square Mall in Homewood Illinois just down the road....oh how sad
Evil dead 2 was the first I saw with the infamous Jake chararter who kicks Ash's head cut out on the vhs version here in the UK at the age of 6 and even now of personal favorite of the three,though I love all 3 for what they are and the TV series
ED is the one that has aged the worst, its the one if someone looked through my movies and asked about Evil Dead, I would just show them ED2. If its not something you grew up liking, ED is a real good way to turn people off from watching any of the others.
I had the same thing happen with guyver dark hero , I found out it was the second film I spent most of my childhood hoping I would find the vhs of guyver 1
As a kid growing up in the 80's, I was a weird little horror nut with a subscription to Fangoria starting at age 9. My father showed me Evil Dead when I was 13. It had somehow flown under my radar what with all my Jason/Michael/Freddy/Leatherface obsessions. That and Evil Dead 2 changed my life. He used to take my friends and me to the video rental store every Friday night and allow us any two choices, which were always inevitably trashy horror genre pics, and he'd pick one which was optional for us, but I remember some of his pics hitting hard, like the old black& white Freaks, docs like Koyaniisqatsu (sic), The Thin Blue Line, classics like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. Then he'd take us to the theater or drive-in to see stuff he must have heard good things about and thought we'd appreciate.. like The Terminator, Conan the Barbarian, and Stand By Me. Sometimes he'd even pick quality horror movies we hadn't seen yet, like Evil Dead, The Fly, and The Thing. It took me years to appreciate what a great dad I had. As a new father myself, I can only hope to be as supportive and loving and do as good of a job as he did.
I was a teen in the '90s, and I came across the Evil Dead movies in reverse order, starting with AoD. That probably would have been 1994. By the time I was in college, in 1998, muh buddies and I would do Evil Dead marathons on a regular basis, sometimes coinciding with LAN parties. I never once perceived ED2 as a "remake" of T.E.D., and it irks me when people say that it is. It's only the first few minutes, and that's there to act as an abridged prologue. If you do it just right, you can cut the original trilogy together into one mega-movie, and it remains perfectly coherent. Of course, if you want to maintain continuity, you have to lose a few scenes in favor of others. 3:02 Puppet Master's "continuity" (if you can call it that) is even looser. 5:26 / 9:13 / 10:58 Define "kids." Cheryl's the youngest and she's 20 circa 1982 (which is currently the canon year that the events of T.E.D. and ED2 take place). Ellen Sandweiss, herself, was 21 (same as Bruce) when they first started making T.E.D. in 1979. Sam Raimi was born in 1959, so he might have been the youngest of the bunch (not including T.E.D. Raimi). 6:27 Ackchyually, the Sumerians wrote in cuneiform on clay tablets. In the "Hail to the King" game, we find out that the Mad Poet of Damascus was the one who transcribed it into book form. 9:49 Ackchyually, it was a spade. 10:43 Every Evil Dead movie directed by someone other than Sam Raimi has gone back to ye olde "final grrl" trope.
Yeah it premed in 1981 and yeah I believe it was under The Book of The Dead title at thay time. 1983 was its proper worldwide release and correct me if I'm wrong but I think it came out on both home video and theatres at the same time.
@@pop000690 I believe it was released in England and Europe in 1982, and it was released in the US in April 1983. And it came out in VHS in the UK at the same time...
I wasn't fond of Army of Darkness. I mean that movie could have been PG13 compared to the previous 2 films. It's much more of a comedy. And in watching the film you can really see the "STOOGES" influence in it. Yes the other 2 films do have some comedic tones no doubt. It's actually so gory it's funny at times. The reboot was just a straight up badass movie that wanted to scare the fuckin balls off of you. And Evil Dead Rise was badass as well. Excellent writing and every movie is badass. Onto the reboots. Which all kick ass. With the exception of A O D. The third entry. Even Ash Vs Evil Dead was a badass bloody good time. Ntm, off subject. The Chucky show is a bloody Dan good time as well. You should check it out. It's the moment I realized that Frank Mancuso Jr, the same guy that help build and produce my favorite, the Friday the 13th franchise. He's responsible for the Chucky franchise as well. Maybe a video about this incredible connection. Frank Mancuso Jr... Friday the 13th and Child's Play/ Chucky.
That's funny because I saw Army of Darkness first as well. It was a friend in high school who told me about Evil Dead 1&2. I became a fan since then. I have a lot of Sam Rami's early films on DVD.
The Evil Dead is the only horror series without a bad movie, even the remakes and series are awesome.
" Just me baby just me". I love Bruce Campbell...smile
The Evil Dead, Halloween II, Friday the 13th, An American Werewolf in London, A Nightmare on Elm Street, I love the 80s horror greats.
Great video, Tyler. Us 80s babies were spoiled good.
We were! A hell of a time for entertainment
Do you remember your first horror movie? Mine was 'The Deadly Spawn', then called 'Return of the Alien's Deadly Spawn'. Would have been the late '80s when I was in elementary school and had a spiked mullet.
I've always loved Rami and Bruce Campbell is my favorite actor. So thanks for all the Evil Dead content.

Bless the video stores of our youth. Where would we all be without them?
Love this series! Keep up the great work.
Building blocks our our youth! Thank You!

What do you think the conservative Mary Whitehouse would have thought about Sam Raimi being a Republican?

My favorite Horror Franchise
Pt 2 was the Best
Groovy
My favorite horror movie ever.
Groovy
I was 6 when i saw this in '87, traumatised but loved it
How dare you shout Go Blue when there’s a Michigan State sweatshirt right on screen! 😆
Weirdly, my grandma and I watched The Evil Dead together. She loved horror movies.
Fair enough!
I love this series, JoBlo!
Thanks for the support!
EVIL DEAD IS THE G.O.A.T. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

Oh man! Metra trains! Definitely brings back 80s n 90s Illinois memories lol
The video was cool too😅
Sad to see the Glenwood theater torn up
Great memories there.....also saw Friday the 13th 3d at the movie theater that was at Washington Square Mall in Homewood Illinois just down the road....oh how sad
It was a great place. Saw Jurassic Park when it was one giant theater!

Hey have u ever done dead alive? That’s a classic
And i god i miss the 80s.:D
Ash is one of the few final guys
ED2 was me n my dad's fav to watch together, but Army of Darkness is super underrated imo. ED1 is also fun tho
ED is the one that has aged the worst, its the one if someone looked through my movies and asked about Evil Dead, I would just show them ED2. If its not something you grew up liking, ED is a real good way to turn people off from watching any of the others.
@@lutherheggs451 Definitely agree w that. It's a bit boring compared to the others. What did you think about Rise?
I had the same thing happen with guyver dark hero , I found out it was the second film I spent most of my childhood hoping I would find the vhs of guyver 1
I liked American Werewolf in London and The Howling, but why is it that Wolfen gets no love?

i know people love 2 but original my fav because we see ash scared in beginning
Good morning everyone. Have a great day!
The show werewolf is also a memorie from the 80s. 😁
Alison Pregler did a video on it years ago. I remember Werewolf being one of my mom's favorite shows.
@@DCMarvelMultiverse awesome. I'm always hinting at the staff this page to cover it.
