A cabin in the woods. A group of college friends. And a book in the cellar someone just cannot stop themselves from reading. These are the basic elements that create one of the most lasting horror franchises of all time - and it’s our starting point for Season Five of the Kill By Kill podcast talking about the one, the only, the original - THE EVIL DEAD!! Listen along with us as we crack the flesh-covered spine of the Necronomicon, explore Sudden Oatmeal Syndrome, wonder why a blender somehow makes the trip, unlock the unpredictable elements that make the film so compelling, and learn a new rule: there’s always a La Quinta! All this, plus we recount how much we hate Scott, we resurrect a variation of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and we introduce a new character we like to call “HOA Deadite!” We’re going more in-depth than a Sam Raimi close-up of Bruce Campbell’s monobrow on our first Evil Dead episode of the season!!

CW: This episode does discuss the woodland SA that occurs in the movie. If such conversations are not something you wish to hear about, we suggest skipping that section.
