The Halloweenies kick off Season 5 by heading into the woods to discuss 1981's The Evil Dead. Together, the gang chops through the incredible underdog story -- from the backyard meet-cutes that led to Renaissance Pictures to the grueling Tennessee shoot that spawned the midnight masterpiece. It's the first of two epic episodes that promises one hell of a groovy year that will eventually lead to Lee Cronin's Evil Dead Rise.
