I can distinctly recall catching filmmaker Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2 in a local theatre (an unrated cut) and being wowed by his audacious and imaginative camera work, as well as the copious amounts of gore and humor that gushed forth at breakneck speed. I'd only had the opportunity to see the first film, Evil Dead, on video, since it had been victimized by a decidedly limited and slipshop distribution, but I quickly became of a fan of the series, and even enjoyed the further adventures of Ash in the silly, but fun flick. Army of Darkness. I bring this all up because Stray Dog Theatre is presenting EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL, which pays homage to, and parodies, the Evil Dead trilogy, as well as other horror movie and musical theatre conventions, and it's a gruesome fun fest that's perfectly timed for the Halloween season.
Move over Rocky Horror, and make way for EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL! Based on the 80's cult classic Evil Dead films, this show is hilariously campy and bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. Five college kids take a trip to a remote cabin in the woods and encounter everything from ancient evil spirits to revenge-seeking Candarian Demons. One outrageous, horror-filled moment leads to another as every attempt is made to ward-off the bloodthirsty villains. It's all ridiculous and wild, while the term 'Fresh Blood!' takes on new meaning!
After a record-breaking run last fall, The Ringwald/Who Wants Cake? have teamed with Olympia Entertainment to bring the hilariously bloody production of Evil Dead: The Musical back to Detroit.

Dating back to 1981, the Evil Dead films combined to make one of the most beloved cult franchises in the history of cinema. Directed by Sam Raimi (Spiderman), and starring cult icon Bruce Campbell (Burn Notice), these movies used comedy, gore, slapstick, blood, one-liners, and some of the most creative camera techniques ever seen to revolutionize the horror genre.
