description: 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 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tour of the making of the three films including exclusive interviews with key cast and crew; rare and previously unpublished photographs story-boards and concept sketches; harrowing tales of hardship discomfort and practical jokes; and much more.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.
