On October 15, 1981, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell released an innovative new horror film that would shock audiences and set the stage for so many horror-comedies that would come after. We would also be introduced to a new kind of warrior in the form of Ash Williams, who would go on to become the iconic — if sometimes reluctant — hero of the Evil Dead franchise.

This is a preview of our full EVIL DEAD episode, which is available in full to all Patreon Co-Executive Producers. Learn how you can join us and support the show at any level by going to 30podcast.com/support.
