  And
• 2:52
  the
• 2:53
  traditional
• 2:53
  spooky
• 2:53
  season
• 2:54
  launched
• 2:55
  with
• 2:55
  Candyman,
• 2:56
  the
• 2:56
  original
• 2:56

• 2:57
  and
• 2:57
  then
• 2:57
  Wes
• 2:58
  Craven's
• 2:58
  new
• 2:59
  Nightmare.
• 2:59
  And
• 3:00
  last
• 3:00
  week,
• 3:00
  something
• 3:01
  a
• 3:01
  bit
• 3:01
  more
• 3:01
  family
• 3:02
  friendly
• 3:02
  with
• 3:02
  Hocus
• 3:03
  Pocus.
• 3:04
  But
• 3:04
  now
• 3:04
  for
• 3:05
  something
• 3:05
  that
• 3:06
  is
• 3:06
  not
• 3:06
  family
• 3:07
  friendly.
• 3:07
  And
• 3:08
  it
• 3:08
  was
• 3:08
  actually
• 3:08
  considered
• 3:09
  a
• 3:09
  dreaded
• 3:09
  video
• 3:10
  nasty
• 3:10
  here
• 3:11
  in
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  UK.
• 3:12
  But
• 3:12
  really
• 3:13
  it's
• 3:13
  just
• 3:13
  a
• 3:13
  showcase
• 3:14
  for
• 3:14
  the
• 3:14
  hard
• 3:14
  work

  peaceful

  in

  They

  to

  encounter
• 5:24
  strange
• 5:24
  occurrences
• 5:25
  and
• 5:25
  noises
• 5:26
  almost
• 5:26
  from

  the

  moment
• 5:27
  they
• 5:27
  arrive,
• 5:28
  and

  in

  the

  basement
• 5:29
  they

  the

  fun
• 5:35
  with

  strange
• 5:37
  occurrences

  in

  the

  incantations
• 5:40
  are
• 5:40
  read

  unwittingly
• 5:42
  release
• 5:43
  an
• 5:43
  ancient
• 5:43
  evil
• 5:44
  force.
• 5:45
  The
• 5:45
  friends
• 5:45
  find
• 5:46
  themselves
• 5:46
  helpless
• 5:46
  to

  stop
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  evil
• 5:47
  as
• 5:48
  it
• 5:48
  takes
• 5:48
  them
• 5:48
  one

  by

• 6:58
  Inspired

  by

  a

  suspenseful

  scene

  in

  It's
• 7:01
  Murder,
• 7:01
  they
• 7:02
  decided
• 7:02
  to
• 7:02
  make
• 7:03
  an
• 7:03
  horror
• 7:03
  film
• 7:04
  and
• 7:04
  decided
• 7:04
  to
• 7:04
  create
• 7:05
  a
• 7:05
  horror
• 7:05
  prototype
• 7:06
  short
• 7:06
  film
• 7:07
  that
• 7:07
  they
• 7:07
  could
• 7:07
  show
• 7:07
  to
• 7:08
  investors
• 7:09
  to
• 7:09
  encourage
• 7:09
  them
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  finance
• 7:10
  a
• 7:10
  full
• 7:11
  length
• 7:11
  feature.
• 7:12
  That
• 7:13
  short
• 7:13
  film
• 7:13
  was
• 7:14
  within
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  woods
• 7:15
  and
• 7:15
  Raimi
• 7:16
  cast
• 7:16
  his

  the

  Ellen
• 7:20
  Sandweiss.
• 7:22
  The
• 7:22
  plot
• 7:22
  is
• 7:22
  quite
• 7:23
  similar
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  what
• 7:23
  would
• 7:24
  eventually
• 7:24
  come
• 7:24
  in

  the

  Evil
• 7:25
  Dead
• 7:26
  with

  an

  unseen

  stalking

  them,

  with

  each

  dying
• 7:31
  one

  as

  they

  each
• 7:33
  become
• 7:33
  possessed
• 7:34
  by
• 7:34
  an

  and

  the

  So

  they

  decided

  to
• 11:49
  travel
• 11:50
  south
• 11:50
  for
• 11:50
  a
• 11:50
  milder
• 11:51
  winter
• 11:51
  and
• 11:52
  chose
• 11:52
  the

  remote

  town
• 11:53
  of

  Morristown,

  Spoiler

  The

  of

  1979
• 11:58
  in

  Tennessee

  was
• 11:59
  actually

  the

  The

  was

  That's
• 12:06
  one
• 12:07
  three,
• 12:07
  13.
• 12:08
  That's
• 12:08
  how
• 12:09
  scrappy
• 12:09
  and
• 12:09
  amateur
• 12:10
  this
• 12:10
  was.
• 12:10
  But
• 12:11
  it
• 12:11
  never
• 12:11
  feels
• 12:11
  scrappy
• 12:12
  and

  amateur.
• 12:13
  Many

  the

  In

  a

  a

• 12:41
  The

  was

  built

  in

  the

  1960s

  Shockley,

  it

  was

  planned

  to

  be
• 12:48
  used
• 12:48
  as
• 12:48
  a

  hunting
• 12:49
  cabin.
• 12:50
  It

  was
• 12:50
  originally

  smaller

  than

  1979.
• 13:02
  The
• 13:02
  only
• 13:02
  stipulation
• 13:03
  being
• 13:03
  they
• 13:04
  had
• 13:04
  to
• 13:04
  leave
• 13:04
  the
• 13:05
  cabin
• 13:05
  in
• 13:05
  the
• 13:05
  same
• 13:06
  condition
• 13:06
  they
• 13:06
  found
• 13:07
  it.
• 13:07
  The
• 13:08
  cabin
• 13:08
  was
• 13:08
  remote.
• 13:09
  It
• 13:09
  had
• 13:09
  no
• 13:10
  running
• 13:10
  water,
• 13:10
  no
• 13:11
  electricity,
• 13:12
  no
• 13:12
  telephone
• 13:13
  and
• 13:13
  was
• 13:13
  covered
• 13:13
  in
• 13:13
  manure.
• 13:14
  It
• 13:15
  was
• 13:15
  perfect.
• 13:15
  Basically.
• 13:16
  It
• 13:17
  had
• 13:17
  no
• 13:17
  cellar,
• 13:17
  so
• 13:18
  they
• 13:18
  cut
• 13:18
  a
• 13:18
  trapdoor
• 13:19
  in
• 13:19
  the
• 13:19
  floor
• 13:19
  and
• 13:20
  dug
• 13:20
  a
• 13:20
  six
• 13:20
  foot
• 13:20
  hole.
• 13:21
  The
• 13:22
  actual
• 13:22
  cellar
• 13:22
  scenes
• 13:23
  would
• 13:23
  be
• 13:23
  filmed
• 13:23
  at
• 13:24
  a
• 13:24
  farmhouse
• 13:24
  in
• 13:24
  Marshall,
• 13:25
  Michigan.
• 13:26
  The
• 13:26
  crew
• 13:26
  all
• 13:27
  worked
• 13:27
  together
• 13:27
  and
• 13:27
  installed
• 13:28
  a
• 13:28
  telephone,
• 13:29
  connected
• 13:29
  the
• 13:29
  electricity,
• 13:30
  built
• 13:31
  a
• 13:31
  porch
• 13:31
  swing
• 13:32
  and
• 13:32
  reconfigured
• 13:32
  the
• 13:33
  layout
• 13:33
  the
• 13:33
  cabin.
• 13:34
  The
• 13:34
  only
• 13:35
  thing
• 13:35
  they
• 13:35
  couldn't
• 13:35
  do
• 13:36
  was
• 13:36
  connect
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  water.
• 13:37
  During
• 13:38
  pre
• 13:38
  production,
• 13:39
  some
• 13:39
  of
• 13:39
  the
• 13:39
  crew
• 13:39
  stayed
• 13:40
  in
• 13:40
  the
• 13:40
  cabin
• 13:40
  rather
• 13:41
  than
• 13:41
  the
• 13:41
  house
• 13:41
  six
• 13:42
  miles
• 13:42
  away.
• 13:43
  And
• 13:43
  let's
• 13:43
  just
• 13:43
  say
• 13:44
  it
• 13:44
  was
• 13:44
  not
• 13:44
  a
• 13:44
  particularly
• 13:45
  pleasant
• 13:46
  experience.
• 13:47
  They'd
• 13:47
  planned
• 13:48
  six
• 13:48
  weeks
• 13:48
  shooting
• 13:49
  over
• 13:49
  November
• 13:50
  and
• 13:50
  December,
• 13:51
  but
• 13:51
  the
• 13:51
  problems,
• 13:52
  injuries
• 13:52
  and
• 13:52
  general
• 13:53
  inexperience
• 13:54
  led
• 13:54
  to
• 13:54
  it
• 13:55
  being
• 13:55
  amended
• 13:55
  to
• 13:55
  eight
• 13:56
  weeks,
• 13:57
  then
• 13:57
  to
• 13:57
  12.
• 13:58
  The
• 13:58
  overrunning
• 13:59
  production
• 13:59
  meant
• 13:59
  a
• 14:00
  number
• 14:00
  of
• 14:00
  the
• 14:00
  cast
• 14:00
  and
• 14:01
  crew
• 14:01
  had
• 14:01
  to
• 14:01
  leave
• 14:02
  at
• 14:02
  various
• 14:02
  points.
• 14:03
  Scenes
• 14:04
  had
• 14:04
  to
• 14:04
  be
• 14:04
  rewritten
• 14:04
  and
• 14:05
  fake
• 14:05
  shemps
• 14:06
  were
• 14:06
  used.
• 14:07
  Fake
• 14:08
  shemps
• 14:08
  were
• 14:09
  named
• 14:09
  after
• 14:09
  Shemp
• 14:09
  Howard
• 14:10
  of
• 14:10
  the
• 14:10
  Three
• 14:10
  Stooges,
• 14:11
  of
• 14:11
  which
• 14:12
  Raimi
• 14:12
  was
• 14:12
  a
• 14:13
  huge
• 14:13
  fan.
• 14:14
  Shemp
• 14:14
  Howard's
• 14:15
  sudden
• 14:15
  death
• 14:15
  in
• 14:16
  1955
• 14:17
  meant
• 14:17
  body

  doubles

  were

  used

  to

• 14:19
  the

• 14:19
  he'd

  already

  unless

  the

  to

  do
• 14:28
  so.
• 14:29
  And
• 14:29
  this
• 14:29
  was
• 14:29
  largely
• 14:30
  because
• 14:30
  of

  a

  Without

  it

  was

  done

  mostly
• 15:08
  at

  from

  6.30pm

  then

• 17:07
  There

  is

  a

  lot
• 17:07
  of

  blood

  on

  The

  was

  to

  a

  creamy

  paste
• 17:25
  and

  then
• 17:25
  stirred

  into

  the

  to

  make

  the

  blood
• 17:28
  opaque.
• 17:28
  The

  was

  get

  and

  is

  probably

  the

  why

  the

  this

  The

  either

  What

  were

  you
• 37:35
  doing
• 37:36
  when
• 37:36
  you
• 37:37
  were
• 37:37
  20?
• 37:38
  Maybe
• 37:38
  you
• 37:39
  were
• 37:39
  smoking
• 37:40
  cigarettes
• 37:40
  behind
• 37:41
  a

  you're
• 37:43
  in
• 37:44
  the
• 37:44
  US
• 37:45
  pretending
• 37:45
  you
• 37:46
  were
• 37:46
  21
• 37:47
  so
• 37:47
  you
• 37:47
  could
• 37:48
  buy
• 37:48
  a
• 37:49
  beer.
• 37:49
  Sam
• 37:50
  Raimi
• 37:50
  couldn't
• 37:51
  legally
• 37:51
  buy
• 37:51
  a
• 37:52
  beer,
• 37:52
  but
• 37:53
  he
• 37:53
  could
• 37:54
  write,
• 37:54
  produce
• 37:55
  and
• 37:55
  direct
• 37:56
  one

• 37:59
  of
• 37:59
  all
• 38:00
  time.
• 38:00
  Hopefully
• 38:01
  he
• 38:01
  bought
• 38:02
  himself
• 38:02
  a
• 38:03
  beer
• 38:03
  to
• 38:04
  celebrate
• 38:04
  once
• 38:04
  the
• 38:05
  movie
• 38:05
  premiered
• 38:06
  at
• 38:06
  the
• 38:07
  Redford
• 38:07
  Theatre.
• 38:08
  He
• 38:08
  was
• 38:08
  definitely
• 38:09
  21
• 38:09
  by
• 38:10
  that
• 38:10
  point.
• 38:11
  When
• 38:11
  I
• 38:12
  was
• 38:12
  20.
• 38:13
  I
• 38:13
  wish
• 38:14
  I'd
• 38:14
  had
• 38:15
  the
• 38:15
  gusto
• 38:16
  to
• 38:16
  make
• 38:17
  a
• 38:17
  movie
• 38:17
  at
• 38:18
  that
• 38:18
  age
• 38:19
  and
• 38:19
  have
• 38:20
  the
• 38:20
  smarts
• 38:21
  to
• 38:21
  be
• 38:21
  able
• 38:22
  to
• 38:22
  get
• 38:23
  financial
• 38:23
  backing.
• 38:24
  Honestly,
• 38:24
  20
• 38:25
  year
• 38:25
  old
• 38:26
  me
• 38:26
  was
• 38:26
  a
• 38:27
  bit
• 38:27
  of
• 38:28
  a
• 38:28
  moron.
• 38:29
  I've
• 38:29
  grown
• 38:30
  so
• 38:30
  much
• 38:30
  in
• 38:31
  the
• 38:31
  last
• 38:32
  five
• 38:32
  years.
• 38:33
  Stop
• 38:33
  your
• 38:34
  laughing.
• 38:34
  But
• 38:35
  these
• 38:35
  20
• 38:36
  year
• 38:36
  old
• 38:37
  kids,
• 38:37
  they
• 38:38
  got
• 38:38
  a
• 38:39
  lot
• 38:39
  right,
• 38:39
  but
• 38:40
  they
• 38:40
  didn't
• 38:41
  get
• 38:41
  everything
• 38:42
  right.
• 38:42
  The
• 38:43
  sexual
• 38:43
  assault
• 38:44
  scene
• 38:44
  on
• 38:45
  Cheryl
• 38:45
  in
• 38:46
  particular
• 38:46
  is
• 38:47
  tough
• 38:47
  to
• 38:47
  watch
• 38:48
  and
• 38:48
  is
• 38:49
  often
• 38:49
  cited
• 38:50
  as
• 38:50
  the
• 38:51
  main
• 38:51
  reason
• 38:52
  the
• 38:52
  film
• 38:52
  was
• 38:53
  so
• 38:53
  heavily
• 38:54
  censored
• 38:54
  and
• 38:55
  banned
• 38:55
  outright
• 38:56
  in
• 38:56
  several
• 38:56
  countries.
• 38:57
  Raimi
• 38:57
  has
• 38:58
  since
• 38:58
  expressed
• 38:59
  regret
• 38:59
  on
• 39:00
  the
• 39:00
  scene,
• 39:00
  saying
• 39:01
  it
• 39:01
  was
• 39:02
  unnecessarily
• 39:02
  gratuitous
• 39:03
  and
• 39:03
  a
• 39:04
  little
• 39:04
  too
• 39:04
  brutal.
• 39:05
  I've
• 39:06
  not
• 39:06
  seen
• 39:07
  the
• 39:07
  2013
• 39:08
  remake,
• 39:08
  but
• 39:09
  apparently
• 39:09
  it
• 39:09
  also
• 39:10
  contains
• 39:10
  a
• 39:11
  similar
• 39:11
  scene.
• 39:12
  One
• 39:12
  has
• 39:13
  to
• 39:13
  question
• 39:13
  why,
• 39:14
  when
• 39:14
  you
• 39:15
  can
• 39:15
  become
• 39:16
  possessed
• 39:16
  without
• 39:17
  an
• 39:17
  assault
• 39:17
  occurring,
• 39:18
  why
• 39:18
  would
• 39:19
  you
• 39:19
  include
• 39:20
  such
• 39:20
  an
• 39:21
  assault
• 39:21
  in
• 39:22
  your
• 39:22
  movie?
• 39:22
  But
• 39:23
  apart
• 39:24
  from
• 39:24
  that
• 39:25
  one
• 39:25
  issue,
• 39:26
  the
• 39:26
  Evil
• 39:26
  Dead
• 39:27
  is
• 39:27
  such
• 39:28
  an
• 39:28
  achievement.
• 39:29
  Its
• 39:29
  jump
• 39:30
  scares
• 39:30
  are
• 39:30
  some
• 39:31
  of
• 39:31
  the
• 39:32
  best,
• 39:32
  and
• 39:33
  I'm
• 39:33
  not
• 39:34
  a
• 39:34
  fan
• 39:35
  of
• 39:35
  jump
• 39:35
  scares,
• 39:36
  but
• 39:36
  I
• 39:37
  love
• 39:37
  them
• 39:38
  here.
• 39:38
  It's
• 39:39
  first
• 39:39
  person.
• 39:39
  Or
• 39:40
  should
• 39:40
  that
• 39:41
  be
• 39:41
  first
• 39:42
  spirit?
• 39:42
  Perspective
• 39:43
  shots
• 39:43
  are
• 39:44
  so
• 39:44
  accomplished
• 39:45
  that
• 39:45
  when
• 39:46
  you
• 39:46
  realize
• 39:47
  it's
• 39:47
  literally
• 39:48
  just
• 39:48
  a
• 39:48
  camera
• 39:49
  on
• 39:49
  a
• 39:50
  plank
• 39:50
  of
• 39:51
  wood
• 39:51
  kinda
• 39:52
  makes
• 39:52
  it
• 39:52
  even
• 39:53
  more
• 39:53
  impressive.
• 39:54
  The
• 39:54
  visual
• 39:55
  effects
• 39:55
  feel
• 39:56
  professional,
• 39:56
  but
• 39:56
  also
• 39:57
  handmade
• 39:57
  and
• 39:58
  quirky.
• 39:58
  The
• 39:59
  production
• 39:59
  was
• 40:00
  absolute
• 40:00
  hell
• 40:00
  for
• 40:01
  all
• 40:01
  involved
• 40:02
  and
• 40:02
  you
• 40:03
  can
• 40:03
  see
• 40:04
  that
• 40:04
  on
• 40:05
  screen.
• 40:05
  But
• 40:06
  more
• 40:06
  so
• 40:07
  the
• 40:07
  supernatural
• 40:08
  hell
• 40:08
  than
• 40:09
  the
• 40:09
  real
• 40:09
  lived
• 40:10
  experience
• 40:10
  of
• 40:11
  hell.
• 40:11
  And
• 40:12
  to
• 40:12
  be
• 40:13
  honest,
• 40:13
  I
• 40:13
  can
• 40:14
  absolutely
• 40:14
  believe
• 40:15
  it
• 40:15
  was
• 40:16
  an
• 40:16
  awful
• 40:17
  production.
• 40:17
  The
• 40:18
  cold
• 40:18
  alone
• 40:18
  would
• 40:19
  be
• 40:19
  enough
• 40:20
  for
• 40:20
  me
• 40:21
  to
• 40:21
  be
• 40:22
  like
• 40:22
  star
• 40:22
  in
• 40:23
  a
• 40:23
  movie?
• 40:24
  Nah.
• 40:24
  Give
• 40:25
  me
• 40:26
  a
• 40:26
  warm
• 40:26
  duvet
• 40:27
  and
• 40:27
  a
• 40:28
  cat,
• 40:28
  please.
• 40:29
  When
• 40:29
  any
• 40:30
  young
• 40:30
  up
• 40:31
  and
• 40:31
  coming
• 40:31
  filmmaker
• 40:32
  comes
• 40:32
  to
• 40:33
  the
• 40:33
  table,
• 40:34
  this
• 40:34
  is
• 40:35
  what
• 40:35
  they
• 40:35
  want
• 40:36
  to
• 40:36
  replicate.
• 40:37
  A
• 40:38
  movie
• 40:38
  that
• 40:39
  pays
• 40:39
  homage
• 40:39
  to
• 40:40
  the
• 40:40
  horrors
• 40:41
  that
• 40:41
  came
• 40:42
  before.
• 40:42
  The
• 40:43
  hanging
• 40:43
  boards
• 40:44
  and
• 40:44
  bones.
• 40:44
  A
• 40:45
  tribute
• 40:45
  to
• 40:46
  the
• 40:46
  Texas
• 40:47
  Chainsaw
• 40:47
  Massacre,
• 40:48
  as
• 40:48
  well

  as

  his
