The Evil Dead: Co-Presented by Cinematic Void, The American Cinematheque, and Madrid Skateboards

Cinematic Void and Madrid Skateboards are back at The Frida to bring ya’ll a very special October screening of the original The Evil Dead! This 1981 horror classic follows five friends who head to an isolated cabin for a quiet getaway, only to discover an ancient book and a tape recording that unleash a demonic force upon them. Soon, the woods are alive, the dead are rising, and poor Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) is fighting for his life against an evil that refuses to stay buried. Made on a shoestring budget with an astonishing amount of ingenuity, The Evil Dead announced Raimi as a filmmaker to watch, turning wild camera movements, handmade effects, stop-motion animation, and copious amounts of gore into one of the most influential independent horror films ever made. It’s always a must-watch on the big screen with fellow horror fans! So grab your boomstick, keep one hand on the chainsaw, and join us at The Frida for Sam Raimi’s blood-soaked horror masterpiece!
