The Evil Dead

In 1981, a horror film emerged from the woods with the power to scare all who viewed it. It was dark, mysterious, spooky and ominous...but that wasn't what scared the public, No! The most terrifying element of this feature was the lead actors chin!!!!

Plot: The Evil Dead tells the story of a fella ( the cult legend that is Bruce 'the chin' Cambpell ) and his four mates, who head off to a rickety old cabin, somewhere deep in the woods. Once they arrive they find an evil book (not the same one in the Care Bears movie, but I imagine pretty close) and a tape recording of the spells inside said book. Game for a laugh, someone presses PLAY...then there's all this Demon stuff that happens...

Fun Fact: The film took the better part of a year and a half to finish, what with it being low budget and all. All the actors quit long before the end, with stand-ins being used for completion...all except Bruce Campbell (now there's a dedicated bloke). Assistant editing was by Joel Coen.

There's even a Musical version! Check out this link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&v=NeLUi_20Nrg&gl=US
