Fede Alvarez May Return to Resurrect His ‘Evil Dead’

Published

Evil Dead 2 Fede Alvarez

This previous Friday (and over the weekend), Fede Alvarez asked fans (via Twitter Poll) what he should do for his next film: Don’t Breathe 2 or Evil Dead 2 (or stop making movies). While Don’t Breathe is one of the most well received and appraised horror movies in the past two years, fans of Alvarez voted in an overwhelming majority for a return to Evil Dead.

While the Twitter poll is not a concrete confirmation that Alvarez will be making a sequel to his 2013 Evil Dead remake, out of 9,829 fans who follow and are interested in his work specifically, roughly about 6,500 want to see Mia’s story continue.

The better part of fans’ desire for another Alvarez chapter of Evil Dead may come in the wake of Ash Vs. Evil Dead‘s cancellation, or a collective effort to (try and) keep Bruce Campbell from quitting his role as Ash permanently.

Alvarez’s Evil Dead could also simply be revered more positively than Don’t Breathe by fans despite how critics respectively felt about both films. Regardless, it’s exciting to hear news that Alvarez could be setting his sights on conjuring a sequel to his remake.

If the film’s production comes to fruition, it would seem unlikely that Alvarez would not have Sam Raimi or Bruce Campbell involved in some way, shape, or form. On top of the series’ campy humor and over the top violence, Raimi and Campbell seem to be paramount elements to the composition of anything Evil Dead related.

And let’s not forget that Raimi and Campbell served as producers on the 2013 reboot.

It is unfortunate that the possibility of Evil Dead 2 follows on the heels of Ash vs. Evil Dead‘s cancellation, but this may be fate (or other under-worldly forces at hand) egging on Alvarez to not let the series die just yet.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
