It’s groovy. Baby! Black Ink Presents, a division of Terrapin Station Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment, just announced their next epic live-to-film production that’s going to resurrect Sam Raimi’s beloved cult classic Evil Dead in a way audiences have never seen before – in this lifetime!
Evil Dead In Concert (www.evildeadinconcert.com) launches September 22 in Buffalo, New York, bringing screams and strings together in nearly 50 cities this fall! This includes a special three-night event in Los Angeles just in time for Halloween. Imagine watching the legendary cult film in a newly restored format on the big screen. All while a live ensemble performs the entire original musical score by composer Joe LoDuca!
The Ultimate Horror Concert Experience
“The ultimate horror movie concert experience has arrived with a night of cinematic chaos, demonic energy, and killer sounds,” says John Kinsner, CEO of Black Ink Presents and producer of Evil Dead In Concert. Kinsner, a fellow horror enthusiast and fan of the film franchise, adds, “It’s not every day you get to watch someone chainsaw a demon while a live ensemble performs.”
So, Evil Dead follows five college students on vacation in an isolated cabin in the woods, where they unwittingly unleash absolute evil into the world and have to fight to survive. Starring Bruce Campbell, it’s known as one of the most significant cult horror films of all time. It has a massive following worldwide since its theatrical release on October 15, 1981. LoDuca’s score is a masterclass in orchestral, yet experimental composition. With eerie strings, pounding percussion, and screeching sound effects, the dread and supernatural chaos come together perfectly.
Joe LoDuca’s Iconic Score Comes Alive
“I am so excited for audiences around the country to join us on an intense, aural descent into hell with this beautiful score and all its madness,” says Joe LoDuca. This iconic score was actually his first film score ever, composed for director Raimi! Following the success of Evil Dead, LoDuca became a frequent collaborator with Raimi and went on to win multiple Emmys for his scoring work. Most recently, he released a reimagined version of the original Evil Dead score called Evil Dead: A Nightmare Reimagined, where he re-recorded and expanded on the film’s original musical themes.
Black Ink Presents is no stranger to breathing new life into iconic films with live music. They’re known for spectacular live-to-film shows for titles like Labyrinth, Batman, Ghostbusters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Rocketman, La La Land, and many more!
