First released in 1981 as an obscenely gory, hilariously bad, ultra low-budget horror flick, The Evil Dead has become a cult classic franchise—clawing its way across multiple films, comics, video games, a television series and several stage adaptations. This campy, comedic musical draws elements from the core movie trilogy: The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Audiences can expect flying limbs, dad-joking demons and songs with titles like “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons.” Oh… and certain attendees will leave bloodied… well, cornstarched… if they’re sitting in the “splash zone.”
