Dead By Dawn: Evil Dead 2 Minutes

Welcome to Dead By Dawn the Evil Dead 2 podcast where we breakdown the classic 1986 film 2 Minutes at a time.

Today on episode 2 we discuss minutes 3 & 4 and discuss Ash's piano and Linda's dancing skills which leads into Bruce Campbell's old Old Spice commercials, champagne, our introduction to the tape recorder and the Knowby family, and try to figure out What exactly pokes Linda?

These might be the slowest two minutes in the whole film which is saying something since it's only 4 minutes into the film.

We'll be back on Wednesday with minutes 5-6.

Hi everybody. Welcome to Dead By Dawn, the podcast where we are about to start yappening about what happening in the second season of Ash Vs Evil Dead and stay tuned at the end for a big announcement.

We have a bit of controversy over the start date. Bruce Campbell had tweeted that the release date was September 23rd 2016. Yeah less than a full year but since then the tweet has been released and the official word is that  the release hasn’t been announced.

CASTING NEWS- TV vet Lee Majors has boarded Season 2 of Starz’s Ash vs. Evil Dead in the role of Brock Williams, Ash’s father! Man Lee Majors is pretty great. Also cast, as we all predicted would happen, is Ted Raimi as Ash's childhood friend Chet Kaminski.

Another update is that the toy company NECA has released its three AvED toys. Check out the pictures on our blog page. We get our friend Ben Fransham as Eligos in a super badass rendition.

So for the big news!

We are going to get into Evil Dead 2 for our next film but we are structuring it in a fun way. We’re calling it Evil Dead 2 Minutes. We are going break up evil dead into 45 part series where were each episode goes into 2 minute chunk of the film.

We’re currently securing special guests for the episodes and well as getting interviews cut into the episodes with the cast and crew. We already have a couple people secured including some of the animators and actors! 

Music is Helena by The Misfits.

Hi everybody. Welcome to Dead By Dawn, the ash vs evil dead podcast where we are about to start yappening about what happened in 1981’s Evil Dead.

Adam and Chase sit down with special guest Jason Brennan right before the beginning of the Superbowl. We go in detail about the production and interesting distribution of this unrated low budget classic horror film.

We talkabout  the first appearance of Ashley Williams who has yet to get into the Ash persona, the innovative camera techniques and how they achieved it DIY and how the infamous forest attack scene was the one thing Sam Raimi says he would take back if he could. 

Other issues raised:

Why would Professor Knowby have a The Hills Have Eyes poster?

The assistant editor of the film is none other than Joel Coen who would later go on to write with Raimi on Crimewave.

The MPAA was going to make it NC-17 so they released in unrated. 

How irresponsible they were on the film using real shotgun bullets as well as smashing out Bruce Campbells teeth on the camera.

We just watched the early shorts of Sam Raimi including the Evil Dead precursor Within the Woods from 1978. We also checked out a variety of interviews with Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert from the years after Evil Dead was completed but had yet to find distribution.

These bootleg vhs quality short films of Sam Raimi are all available on youtube. Go to ashvsevildeadpodcast.com for links to all of the films. These shorts are the first examples of many of the innovative techniques, sound design, and camera work utilized in the Evil Dead Films.

The first short we watched was Clockwork from 1978. This was directed by Sam Raimi, starring Scott Spiegel and Cheryl Guttridge.

Next we watched Attack of the Helping Hand (also from 1978) starring Sam Raimi, directed by Scott Spiegel (co-writer of Evil Dead 2) and photographed by Bruce Campbell.  Killer hand, sound familiar?

After that we went into Within the Woods which shares the basic plot structure of Evil Dead and we get the first monster POV shots. 

Our last short we watched was Panic Attack from 2009 which was the short film that launched director Fede Alvarez into the director's role of 2013's Evil Dead. How did this visual effects heavy robot invasion film get him the visceral gory remake?

Had a slight audio glitch so it's reuploaded!

Ben Fransham is a New Zealand actor that has played creatures in some of the most iconic films in the last twenty years. This last year he starred as Elligos in Ash Vs Evil Dead as well as the Nosferatu like vampire Petyr in my favorite comedy of the year What We Do in the Shadows. Other roles include Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, 30 Days of Night, Legend of the Seeker, and Heavenly Creatures. 

Through an Skype interview we talked to Ben about how he got his start in movies dancing with Kate Winslet, the makeup process to get into his characters, the emerging genre filmmaking market in New Zealand over the last twenty years and getting lit on fire in What We Do In the Shadows. 

Special thanks to Ben Fransham for doing the interview. You can follow him on twitter @benfransham. If you're in the states he's also appearing at the Mad Monster Party (March 26th in Charlotte, SC) as Petyr from What We Do in the Shadows be sure to check him out.

Five friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods. Sound familiar?

We talk the gritty remake/reboot of Evil Dead from 2013 directed by Fede Alveraz.

The movie stuck with the gory roots of the original films but everything is amped up times 100. Technically they achieve exactly what they aimed for, a movie that at times is hard not to look away. But is it too gruesome?

This movie also established the New Zealand "Michigan" setting that was used in Ash Vs Evil Dead. We also posit that maybe it is all in their heads since Mia dumps her unnamed drugs into the water supply.

Other topics we talk about is:

Do these take place in the same universe? Could we end up seeing Mia in Ash Vs Evil Dead? Would you like to see a sequel to this property?
