According to Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt, they are happy to provide horror lovers the opportunity to join together and commemorate the 40th anniversary of Sam Raimi’s cult classic The Evil Dead. He was looking forward to kicking off the Halloween season with the film that kicked off an incredible franchise.
Bob Murawski, a co-founder of Grindhouse Releasing and an editor on several of Sam Raimi’s films, including Army of Darkness and Spider-Man 1, 2, and 3, said they were honoured to provide this special 40th anniversary screening of Evil Dead with Fathom Events. The first film in the series has long been his favourite. It’s one of the scariest and wildest horror films of all time, and he’s ecstatic that a new generation of fans will get to see it the way he did: on the big screen, in front of a screaming audience!
