To celebrate the eighth anniversary of 2013’s Evil Dead, Fede Alvarez has shared a bunch of never-before-seen behind-the-scenes images and a video and how a scene was made from the remake of Sam Raimi’s 1981 horror classic. He also promises to share something special on the 10th anniversary.
Sam Raimi and star of the franchise, Bruce Campbell produced the film. Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, and Elizabeth Blackmore star as a group of friends staying at an old cabin in the woods. As they explore the rustic building they discover the Book of the Dead. Of course, it wouldn’t be a horror movie unless they read it, when they do, they unleash a demon hellbent on claiming their souls.
Take a look at the behind-the-scenes images shared via Alvarez’s Twitter account.

I came up with the machete to knee gag on the day, but we didn't had a fake knee. So I ran to the prop department, and took one of Natalie's left over Arms, ant that it, we had a knee! pic.twitter.com/ncHsWmay5S
