Evil Dead Month marches on here at Bloody-Disgusting! One of the most important aspects of the Evil Dead films (sans Army Of Darkness of course), is the cabin they take place in. Having seen the new remake, I can verify that the aesthetic and layout are more or less the same as they were in the first two films of the original trilogy. Of course, while they may be the pinnacle of the “Cabin In The Woods” subgenre – there’s a sh*t ton more where that came from!

These kind of films are among my favorite in horror, I love a good rural setting. So I’m almost jealous that The Wolfman (@TheWolfmanCometh – on the boards) got the idea for this list – which he wrote – first!

There always seems to be an understadable amount of confusion whenever I post a story from “The Wolfman.” It’s NOT ME you should be praising (or bashing) in the comments, IT’S HIM! So head inside for The Wolfman’s 10 Top “Cabin In The Woods” Movies!!! READ MORE

In what feels like an overcrowded sub-genre, Tucker & Dale Vs. Evilstands tall as a horror-comedy with dramatic irony that works and strong chemistry between its three principal actors. A play on clichés and conventions, Eli Craig and Morgan Jurgenson’s script focuses on a pair of bumbling rednecks (Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine) who rescue a co-ed (Katrina Bowden) after she bumps her head and her cannon-fodder friends that suspect the strangers are murderous kidnappers.

Arriving on Magnolia On-Demand this Friday, August 26 before its theatrical release on September 30 is Eli Craig’s Tucker & Dale vs Evil, a horror comedy being widely praised by the horror community.

For those of you who haven’t been paying attention, Tucker & Dale is an extremely bloody horror comedy that’s been making the festival rounds. Now available On Demand, Yahoo! premiered the following hilarious clip that gives a nod to Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

“ ‘Tucker & Dale’ is a backwoods comedy of horrific errors in which two unsuspecting buddies, Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine), fall victim to the crazed machinations of a group of spring breakers who have mistaken them for backwoods killers. When Dale shelves his phobia of the opposite sex to rescue one of the college co-eds, Allison (Katrina Bowden), from drowning, all her friends mistake him for a bearded psychopath hauling their friend away to a shack in the middle of the woods. In trying to rescue their friend, the college co-eds continually off themselves one by one and Tucker and Dale try to figure out why these college kids are killing themselves all over Tucker’s property!”

Vertigo Films in the UK has provided Bloody with an exclusive batch of gory and tense photos from Eli Craig’s horror comedy Tucker & Dale Vs Evil (review), which will be opening in UK cinemas on September 23 (limited theaters September 30 in the States), with DVD and Blu-ray release on September 26.

The award winning comedy-horror screened in Sundance last year and stars Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine as a pair of well intentioned Appalachian hillbillies who fall foul of a group of preppy campers. Check out a slew of clips and images.

“The pic is a hilariously gory, good-spirited horror comedy, doing for killer rednecks what Shaun of the Dead did for zombies. Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their dilapidated mountain house, who are mistaken for murderous backwoods hillbillies by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids. When one of the students gets separated from her friends, the boys try to lend a hand, but as the misunderstanding grows, so does the body count.”

Eli Craig Talks Possible ‘Tucker & Dale’ Sequel and Next Potential Project: A Horror-Comedy Taking on the “Devil Child Genre”

During my one-on-one sit-down interview today with Tucker & Dale vs. Evil director Eli Craig at Comic-Con – where he’s promoting the upcoming September 30th release of the hick-tastic horror/comedy – he opened up a bit about his future in the horror genre now that his beloved pet project will finally be seeing the light of day (thanks to indie genre distributor Magnet).

On a possible Tucker & Dale sequel: “You know, I’ve kinda learned the hard way to not talk too much about sequels…[and] I don’t wanna get too promotional about a second movie, but we do have a treatment,” said Craig. “Mainly the reason is because Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine are just so much fun to work with. They played off each other so well. They feel like a comedy duo…[like a] Nick Frost/Simon Pegg kind of duo. And I don’t even know. I really wanna put them in a movie again. I mean, I just can’t imagine a better working situation. So that’s where the sequel comes from, and if it’s another ‘Tucker & Dale’ that’s great. I feel like they’re quality characters I’d like to breathe life into again. But if it were them in another movie, that’s a possibility too.”

On his possible next project, which he’s currently writing the script for: “Well, I’m working on another horror/comedy,” he told me. “We’ll see how this one goes over! But I can’t help but take a stab at the whole ‘devil child’ genre. ‘The Omen’, and…I love killer children! I don’t know what it is!…People are probably gonna think I’m crazy, but I wanna make a comedy out of that! [Laughs]…I’ve seen ‘The Omen’ a bunch too, right? And ‘The Exorcist’, which to me is probably the greatest horror film of all time still. But I think there’s a lot of comedy in there if you play it right. You know, you have like some like some demented-looking baby…’oh, you have a dermatitis problem, sweetie, let’s just cover up your skin!’ You know, and you have this overly doting, loving mother, that just tries to compensate for their evil son, you know?” [Laughs]
