I have watched Evil Dead 2<\/a> (iTunes<\/a>) and Army of Darkness<\/a> (iTunes<\/a>) a number of times, but what makes them so enjoyable, is watching them again and again to find new things to enjoy. Not that the movie is filled with subtlety. But rather, there are amazing things happening all the time, that your brain usually can’t handle it all at once, so you must watch the movie again to take it all in.<\/p>\n

Evil Dead 2<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0is less of a sequel to the original The Evil Dead<\/a> (iTunes<\/a>), and more of a remake, with a much higher budget. Where The Evil Dead<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0ends, like many horror movies, with a lone survivor that believes he is out of danger only to be attacked once again (with little to no hope in sight) as the credits roll, Evil Dead 2<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0sets up a sequel with a wholly different style.<\/p>\n

Army of Darkness<\/em> is a campy, action flick with some of the greatest one-liners in the history of cinema. If you ever played Duke Nukem 3D<\/a>, you’ll recognize many of them. It has long been one of my favorite movies of all time, despite the stop-animation skeletons not quite holding up to today’s standards. The rest of the movie is a rather epic tale of one man’s determination to do what’s right (with a lot of pushing) and return to his own time.<\/p>\n

I know that I’m not giving you a whole lot of information on these movies, and that’s because it’s really important that you simply watch them. Just remember: the more blood used in a scene, the better it is. This is always<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0true.<\/p>\n

And thanks to those of you that followed along with my day-by-day horror movie marathon. It was a lot of fun, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
