This week on Opening Kill, things get a little groovy… and a little snotty. Michael is down for the count with a brutal cold, so Shay steps into the cohost chair and takes us back to the creepy cabin in the woods where it all began — Sam Raimi’s 1981 horror classic The Evil Dead.

Armed with Book of the Dead trivia, behind-the-scenes chaos, and a healthy appreciation for Bruce Campbell’s exaggerated screaming, we break down why The Evil Dead is one of the most influential indie horror films of all time. From the stop-motion nightmare finale to Raimi’s wild DIY camerawork, this episode dives into how a group of friends with almost no budget accidentally created one of the most iconic horror franchises ever.
