Deadites or Cenobites—who's the ultimate horror icon? Get ready for a battle of chains, puzzles, and soul-snatching demons. In this episode of the Southern Splatter Podcast, we pit the Evil Dead's Deadites against Hellraiser's Cenobites in a clash of horror legends. Who's more terrifying? Possessed Ash with his chainsaw or the sadistic Pinhead and his torturous crew? We dive into kill counts, character dynamics, the evolution of these iconic franchises, and their lasting impact on horror culture.

Did you know Evil Dead's infamous blood-soaked scenes used over 70,000 gallons of fake blood? Or that Hellraiser's Pinhead wasn't even the original star of the story? Let that sink in. From the grotesque DIY effects of Evil Dead to Hellraiser's polished and provocative SNM-inspired brutality, we analyze it all. Plus, we're asking the ultimate question—would you survive a weekend at the Evil Dead cabin or dare to visit the Cenobite dimension? Choose wisely... What's your take? Drop your thoughts below! Team Deadites or Team Cenobites?
