Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

The Evil Dead vol 1

Episode Summary

A cabin in the woods. A group of college friends. And a book in the cellar someone just cannot stop themselves from reading. These are the basic elements that create one of the most lasting horror franchises of all time - and it’s our starting point for Season Five of the Kill By Kill podcast talking about the one, the only, the original - THE EVIL DEAD!! Listen along with us as we crack the flesh-covered spine of the Necronomicon, explore Sudden Oatmeal Syndrome, wonder why a blender somehow makes the trip, unlock the unpredictable elements that make the film so compelling, and learn a new rule: there’s always a La Quinta! All this, plus we recount how much we hate Scott, we resurrect a variation of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we introduce a new character we like to call “HOA Deadite!” We’re going more in-depth than a Sam Raimi close-up of Bruce Campbell’s monobrow on our first Evil Dead episode of the season!!  NOTE: We support SAG-AFTRA in their fight for worker's rights! Until further notice, we will not cover current films in theaters or new movies dropping on streaming networks. To find out more, please visit the SAG-AFTRA website!
