When it comes to classic horror, you don’t get much more iconic than writer-director Sam Raimi’s 1981 film The Evil Dead, which has spawned sequels, a reboot, a TV series, and a game franchise. This October the cherished film is returning to theaters to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
In addition to the part horror, part comedy film’s theatrical return, attendees will be treated to an exclusive introduction from star Bruce Campbell, who portrayed the franchise’s iconic lead character, Ashley “Ash” Williams.

While there, they find the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (aka “The Book of the Dead”), an ancient tome whose text reawakens the dead when read out loud. After unintentionally releasing a flood of evil, the five friends must fight for their lives or become possessed.
