Ep 295: “Evil Dead II”

October 22, 2024

We camp at Sam Raimi’s “Evil Dead II” and discuss:



  • Letting the movie dictate the terms of the experience;
  • Cinematography, style, story, and budget;
  • Story & Writing, cut to the chase, motivating character choices;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

I’m too obsessed that the people who say critical things about me are right, even though I’m getting to do something I love. – Sam Raimi


Notes & References:

Evil Dead II budget was 3.5m (in 2024 this would be 9.7m)
