Evil Dead fans!!!
Okay, this thread is for the discussion of the Evil Dead movies, and has a poll.
Which one is your favorite?
My favorite is the original Evil Dead because it takes itself seriously and just has a classic feel to it. The other 2 are awesome, but the first one is just brutal. Where else can you see someone raped by a tree!!!??
Army of Darkness, 'cause it's the only one I've seen.

Strangely, Evil Dead is playing in Seattle tonight....
But it gotta go with Army of Darkness on this one. Any movie with that many different DVD releases demands my vote.
I've only ever seen the last one, the army of darkness. I took my bf (who is a huge fan) to the Evil Dead musical when it was in Toronto. The first act was great, the second they kidna rushed through it to get to the "Hail to the king, baby" line. It was only supposed to be parts 1 and 2, but they crammed 3 in, basically.

I chose the Evil Dead II since it was the first one I saw. My friend and I were baked and wandering around downtown Worcester Mass on a Saturday when he was like 'hey wanna go see a movie?' I said 'sure why not'. So we looked at the 1-5 theatre which had crappy offerings. He suggested Evil Dead II. We chuckled since neither of us saw the first one, shrugged and said why not. The first 10 minutes watching were a riot. We weren't sure if it was supposed to be funny but we were laughing our asses off. "whose got the upper hand now!!!" haha Ash kicking the crap out of himself because his hand is possessed. instaclassic imo

I know what ya mean! I went to see a midnight showing of Evil Dead II in Richmond, VA a few months ago. Man, people were going nuts! It's one of my favorite movies, and midnight crowds are AWESOME!! Lots of college types yelling and screaming and talking at the screen. Must go to one of those Rocky Horror ones some day.

Probably 'Army of Darkness' by a nose over ED II.
Are they making a remake? News to me. Hope it's as cool and as funny as the originals.
How many endings are there in ED III? I've seen two. One where he's back in modern days working in a Supermarket again and then kills a demon, and the other one where he drinks too much of the sleep serum and wakes up in the year 2200 or something and the cities have been destroyed.
Any others?

Well, the tree-scene was undoubtedly a rather sick part but I was kinda disappointed 'cause Ash didn't use the chainsaw in the first movie although he intended to.

"Who's laughing now?!"
ED1, by far. Any movies so dark and evil that Skinny Puppy can base an entire track around it has got to be awesome. (takes break to load Vivisect VI)
It was the first horror movie that actually managed to scare me since I was about seven, and for that I will always be grateful
I like em all...
Evil Dead. I Love the old horror movies... where else outside of Japanese Anime Porn would you see a tree raping a woman...
Evil Dead II. "We just cut up our girlfriend with a chainsaw... does that sound like we're ok?"
Ash's reflection talking to Ash
Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness. "Listen up you primitive screwheads!"
