Jay Movie Talk Ep.351 Evil Dead II
"Chainsaws, Deadites & the Birth of Horror-Comedy"
60 Nights of Fright Begins! For the next two months, we're diving headfirst into horror classics, cult favorites, and everything in between. And to kick things off, I'm revisiting one of the wildest and most beloved sequels of all time—Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II.
In this episode of JayMovieTalk:
*How Evil Dead II works as both a sequel and a remake.
*Bruce Campbell's transformation into horror icon Ash Williams.
*The rise of horror comedy and why audiences love to laugh while they scream.
*Raimi's unforgettable practical effects and why they still outshine CGI today.
*The legacy of Evil Dead II and how it shaped modern horror.
From chainsaws and groovy one-liners to demon-possessed deer heads, this is the movie that redefined what horror could be.
