Evil Dead
 

Hey, I watched the last half hour of Evil Dead 2 a few months ago, and my bro bought AOD a month ago and I can definately say that it's an amazing 'series'. I've never seen the first one, but can I count on it being as good as ED2, AOD? I mean, if I enjoyed those, would I enjoy ED? Because I heard from some people that ED was the worst one and had very cheesy effects. I don't mind the cheesy effects, but is it really that bad?

It's not bad, none of them are bad, but it's definately my least favorite of the three........

Oh, well that's good to know. I'll probably pick it up just for the fact of having all of the ED movies.

Yep, you definately should. I aslo found it doesn't have as much replay value as the others. Like AOD I can watch over and over again, and never get tired of it whereas I get really bored with ED after a watch it a few times in a month.....

Heres hoping they make an Ash vs. Freddy vs, Jason movie, or even better an Evil dead four!

What about ED2? Is that a movie that you can watch repeatedly within a month? I know for a fact that within the first week of owning AOD, I watched it 4 times. Hell, I even watched the Directors Cut with Commentary today! Er..yesterday (it's 1:17am).

Yep, When I got ED2 I watched it 2 times in three days.....But AOD has the most re-watch value, IMO.

AOD has the best Ash one-liners!!! :D

Evil Dead 1 is good, maybe not the best, but it's really good. Well, if you like B movies and Bruce Campbell. It has some replay value if you watch it once, then listen to the commentaries, both Bruce Campbell's and Sam Raimi's, you'll find tons of stuff, like the poster of Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes. It was torn to show that Evil Dead was much scarier than Craven's flick. Then you notice that Nancy is watching Evil Dead 1 in Wes Craven's Nightmare On Elm Street. Another nod to Raimi's flick. So in Evil Dead 2 (by far my favorite) Raimi got his prop department to hang 2 different Freddy Krueger gloves, one in the tool shed, and one in the basement. That adds to ED2's re-watch value. And as for AOD, that's just a fun movie to watch, but it's fun to see how Campbell got from ED1 to AOD, and how Raimi got from ED1 to Spider-Man.

I think there is a progression to the style of the movies. ED1 was really trying to go for a straight horror theme. It wasn't funny like AOD (unless you count the B-movie aspect) and it mainly went for the gory, scary stuff. ED2 was not as scary as ED1, but it had a few more of the funny elements like in AOD. It is not as funny AOD, but it's got a few funny parts in it. AOD is just funny. It's not really scary at all. It's just full of Ash one liners basically. I'm not saying that any of these movies are really scary (to me anyway) but that is what they were trying to go for in ED1 and ED2. So basically through the series, as funniness increases, scariness decreases and vice-versa. All three great movies.

I have actually met Bruce Cambell. I talked with him for a little while and I got his autograph. He told me to "Stay groovy." It was awesome.

ED1 was the Scariest By far

AOD was.....eh it was ok

but ED2 had the perfect mix of funny and scary

so ED2 is my favorite out of the trilogy

and it might become a quadrilogy if we keep our hopes up! Raimi has been said to say that he wants to do a fourth Evil dead movie after he is done with the Spider-trilogy :D

keep fingers crossed!!!!

i own evil dead 1 and army of darkness on VHS but ive never seen evil dead 2...prob should huh? well anyways the series is awsome. heres a Easter egg about evil dead 1

In the movie, Evil Dead, there's a shot of the basement of the cabin thry're in. On the rear wall is a poster for Wes Craven's film, The Hills Have Eyes, but the poster is torn in half. Sam Raimi put this there as if to say, " Hey Wes, your's was pretty scary, but check out the Evil Dead!"
In turn, in the scene from A Nightmare On Elm Street when Johnny Depp is eaten by his bed, he happens to be watching Evil Dead on his TV.
So in Evil Dead II, the poster is a Dream Warriors poster, and the battle continues.

got that from www.eeggs.com kewl huh?

Already been posted.......

Hey, I was just surfing around looking for easter eggs in movies. I checked Army of darkness. And it says

Is that true? My brother kinda lost my DVD...

I'm too tired to check tonight, but I'll definately check tomorrow morning. I just wish it said what part of the fight.

I bought ED and ED2 today. I watched ED. It's pretty cheesy and not scary.. and that's what made it funny and a great movie! :D

I think the funniest parts in the Evil Dead movies are when Ash is scared ****-less, you see him run from a monster yet you don't see the creature, and of course his one liners. Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are just great movies. Gotta love Rami and Campbell! :D

Wait till you see EDII. It's the best of the trilogy, IMO. (Second being AoD Director's Cut and ED being last even though it's a great movie.)

I just finished watching ED2. It's a pretty kickass movie, although I still like AoD more.. maybe it's because it was the first whole Evil Dead movie I saw. I also own the Directors Cut version of AoD. :wink:

It was a great trilogy, though BC looked a lot different in ED than he did in ED2. And I mean A LOT. I know there was 5 years difference, but still.

But what's with the white hair Ash has at the end of ED2? It's not there in AoD.. and also, I know that at the end of ED2 they are 'hailing' him and in AoD they enslave him. :lol:

At the end of ED2, when he sees the spirit in the flesh, it scares so much he gives him gray hair. :lol:

If you edit all three films you can have all of them as one movie.

Haha.. I get it now. It didn't really make much sense to me earlier.. or the first time I saw the last half of ED2..

Yeah you could. But you'd probably need to cut stuff off from the beginning and ending of ED2.

And on a semi-unrelated note, I found this at the Superhero Hype! Boards:

Bruce as Deadpool? Hmm.. could be interesting if he is picked.

Glad to hear the Deadpoll movie is coming along. I hope Bruce Campbell gets the role, if not Bruce Willis. Charlie Sheen would be a ****** Deadpool.

Yeah.. he has a fat head.
