The Evil Dead Companion

About this book

In the dank cellar of the dilapadated cabin tucked away in the great forest there is a book bound in human skin and filled with incantations writ in blood. To read the words therein is to release a hideously unspeakable force... Rigorously made on an almost absent budget in the backwoods of Tennessee the film was a phenomenal success--the true definition of "cult film"--launching the careers of its director Sam Raimi; producer Bob Tapert; and star Bruce Campbell. It also spawned two deliriously different and wildly inventive sequels The Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn and Army of Darkness which have won over legions of fright fans around the globe. At last acclaimed film critic Bill Warren takes us on a no-holds-barred behind-the-scenes tour of the making of the three films including exclusive interviews with key cast and crew; rare and previously unpublished photographs story-boards and concept sketches; harrowing tales of hardship discomfort and practical jokes; and much more. Enough to keep any puss-oozing deadite drooling through the night.
