Evil Dead

[Dr. Octogonopus]

Is the movie with Ash and his chainsaw hand evil dead? Or is it Dead Alive? I can never remember. If it was Evil Dead, then it sucked more than I can relate to. Tree rape? WTF?!

[MetalMilitia]

Nah you're thinking of dawn of the dead, land of the dead, day of the dead or don't tell mum the babysitter's dead. One of those.

[Sacks]

"Dishes are done!" Totally classic.

[Dr. Octogonopus]

Well, in the end, it was a waste of $10. At least I bought The thing too. Is that supposed to be any good?

[Fat_Hippo]

Yeah, it's supposed to be good. I think it's mentioned in "greatest horror movie moments" here on I-mockery. Haven't watched it myself though, so I can't guarantee anything.

[Dr. Octogonopus]

sweet. I'll let you know how it was.

[Dr. Octogonopus]

It was genius. It startled the hell out of me when all of a sudden the blood squealed and jumped out of the dish. XD

It is the Evil Dead series. Evil Dead 2 was the best, Army of Darkness was good as well. I'm not a big fan of the first myself.

[Obscurus Lupa]

Evil Dead II had the chainsaw hand, and was much better than the first, which was the one with the tree rape.

Definitely watch Evil Dead II before you get turned off of the trilogy, it's intentionally funny rather than just funny because the budget was supplied by dentists.

[Dr. Octogonopus]

that kinda sucks that i wasted ten dollars on it. i wanted the chainsaw hand one, and i would have accepted the first one, but tree rape? what did that have to do with anything? i think they just put it in as an excuse to see her boobs.

[Obscurus Lupa]

I think as far as horror movies go, the movie had very little boobage. The tree rape, I think, was supposed to be how the demons got inside her. But I guess they decided doing it to a guy would be in bad taste.

[Max Radical]

Evil Dead is something only for very, very die-hard fans of Evil Dead II and III (which are orders of magnitude superior). Don't hold number one against them.

The crew really got their act together for Evil Dead II (which might as well have been called "The film we would have made if we'd known what the hell we were doing back then"). The first film is like the first few series of Star Trek The Next Generation - utterly, ludicrously appallingly bad, and fans are lucky that somehow the products survived to become much better.

[Dr. Octogonopus]

Because a girl getting raped is so tasteful.

[Obscurus Lupa]

I was being sarcastic. ;)

[Dr. Octogonopus]

Really? Me too! How quaint. :)

[ElPila666]

i think that peter jackson's Brain Dead is called Evil Dead too in new zealand, that one was a nasty gore motherfucker if you remember the vomit soup scene

[ElPila666]

Sorry, vomit soup scene was from Bad Taste, there was a nasty soup scene in Brain Dead too, the one of the old lady face falling apart

[Obscurus Lupa]

Dead Alive (or Brain Dead) was really gorey, but a good movie. It was funny, but the gore was top notch. Scary zombie baby though.

[Nick]

Evil Dead rocks. If you can't enjoy campy B movies from the 80's, then you have no soul.

[JediScum]

What about that one movie where Gary Coleman is an orphan who has his own shoeshine business but he sleeps in a train station locker. Plus he has the uncanny ability to pick the winning horses via shoeshinomancy or some shit. I like that movie.

Don't Look Now. :lol

I freaking love old B-movies; I bought this hundred pack of them at Sam's club a few months back. Most of them are so terrible I only get through maybe thirty minutes of them before I fall asleep, but it had Manos: The Hands of Fate. How could I pass that up?! I still remember the old episode of MST3K with that movie!
Excuse me while I go look for that VHS, anyways....

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I was especially impressed with Bad Taste. Watched it twice the first day I bought it. I felt really awed by the fact that Peter Jackson funded the entire movie by himself working at a newspaper company. Granted it took like four years to film because of it though.

Has anyone seen Evil Dead: The musical ?

[Dr. Octogonopus]

I bet they reuse Audrey II for the tree-rape scene. :\

[liquidstatik]

i liked the first evil dead alot, myself :x

[Girl Drink Drunk]

I enjoyed it more than Evil Dead 2, and thought the ending with the old timey music was real creepy :x

[Dr. Octogonopus]

I just got confused as hell. It didn't do a very good job explaining anything, and (again) the tree rape just made it even more awkward because me and my friends were watching it. :P

[liquidstatik]

i think you're puttin wayy too much thought into it :o

[Dr. Octogonopus]

It just didn't do a good job of explaining why the deadites are around. We know they played the recording of the guy chanting, but why was he even doing that? I love zombies as much as any other guy on these forums, but it helps when you have some clue as to why they're here, or if you're not going to explain it, at least make it scarier than that.

[MetalMilitia]

Wasn't it because someone read from the necromac... necronic... book of the dead.

[Tadao]

i think you're puttin wayy too much thought into it :o

[liquidstatik]

COPY CAT

[Girl Drink Drunk]

The group of friends play this recording of some guy reciting a passage from the Book of the Dead, and the deadites are unleashed. case closed.

[liquidstatik]

i just went to wal-mart and they had evil dead, evil dead 2, and army of darkness for 7 dollars. :O!

[Girl Drink Drunk]

:O!

[Dr. Octogonopus]

Yeah, he was reading from the necrominicon (something like that), but it never explained how he got it, its origin, and why the hell he thought it would be a good idea to read aloud and record him reading from a sentient flesh-bound book that literally translates to book of the dead. If some guy told me to read from a book that had necro in its title, I'd probably run like hell.

[Tadao]

So, your the kind of guy who likes to get to know the hooker first.

[Pub Lover]

Wasn't there a bunch of preamble on the tape about how he was doing it for research? The dude was making an audio documentation of his reading the book, so he wanted a record of what happened. He climbed the mountain because it was there.

If I was stuck in the woods with just one book, I'd read it. Hence my having read Mills & Boon.

[Tadao]

Haha, Dr. Octo never actually watched the movie.

[executioneer]

i think the reason the professor read the book is because he didn't realise he was in a horror movie where magic words actually do shit

[liquidstatik]

ty

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Willie, you're awesome :lol

[Dr. Octogonopus]

I was watching the movie, and got to about 20 minutes of pointlessness so I skipped ahead to about where the spell started kicking in, then got confused and tried to understand, and failed.

[liquidstatik]

s'not the only thing you fail at ;o

[Grislygus]

What the hell is so hard to understand? Professor finds book, reads it, dies. New people find book, read it, dying.


JESUS CHRIST, IT'S TRYING TO UNDERSTAND QUANTUM PHYSICS

WITH TREE RAPE

[Grislygus]

What's with the tree rape, seriously.

[Grislygus]

Tree rape makes young adolescents very confused when they watch it with their friends, and I believe Sam Raimi's decision to include it was insane and immoral

[Grislygus]

Did I mention there was tree rape in it

[executioneer]

tree rape is hawt

[Grislygus]

That's why it confuses the young childrens, gawd

Besides, It just didn't do a good job of explaining why the tree rapists are around. We know they played the recording of the guy chanting, but why was he even doing that? I love tree rape as much as any other guy on these forums, but it helps when you have some clue as to why it's happening, or if you're not going to explain it, at least make it scarier than that.

[Obscurus Lupa]

i think the reason the professor read the book is because he didn't realise he was in a horror movie where magic words actually do shit

Ha ha! True.

The professor was keeping a record of his research and recording it, and read the passage aloud. I'm pretty sure it was explained in the tape and it wasn't terribly hard to understand. They gave the professor more of a backstory in the second one, but really, it's not too difficult to understand.

Demons don't need a motive for tree rape. I'm pretty sure the fact that they're demons covers it.

[Tadao]

I was raped with a cucumber once. I hate plants.

[Fat_Hippo]

Don't lie, Tadao. It's not rape if you enjoyed it!:rolleyes::love:orgasm (OMGSMILEYOVERUSE!!!)

[liquidstatik]

(OMGSHUTUP!!!)

[Girl Drink Drunk]

You know what was another good film? Ghostbusters.

[executioneer]

no tree rape, tho :(

[Girl Drink Drunk]

There's a poltergeist blowing some guy though :O

[Dr. Octogonopus]

.... I don't remember that at all. Why do the movie classics keep ruining things for me? Tree rape, ectoplasmic fellatio.... :P

[argonath]

Just because there's weiner eatin' doesn't make it fellatio. There is some dead furry fellatio in The Shining though.

[Tadao]

In poltergeist, there is ghost rape. Bitch gets tore up.

[Dr. Octogonopus]

Would you need to take an imaginary shower afterwards?

[Tadao]

No, you'd want to use an ectoplasm rape kit first.

[Pandajuice]

Is the movie with Ash and his chainsaw hand evil dead? Or is it Dead Alive? I can never remember. If it was Evil Dead, then it sucked more than I can relate to. Tree rape? WTF?!

You disappoint me Dr. O. And here I thought we could be friends one day.

The Evil Dead films are some of the greatest campy horror flicks ever made. They're supposed to be silly, but also super cool. Evil Dead II was always my favourite, but the first one is cool too. It just doesn't get any better than Grandma zombie trying to bust out of the cellar with Ash sitting/bouncing on top of the hatch.

I recommend as the others have that you go back and watch it again. Don't go into it expecting an intense horror experience, but rather a damn fun 90 minutes.

[Dr. Octogonopus]

I wasn't expecting horror, but I just didn't find it as funny as I thought I would. It just wasn't very good to me. TheThing was more fun to watch.
And I ALWAYS get the two mixed up, Evil Dead and Dead Alive. I dunno why.
