Fede Alvarez’s ‘Evil Dead’ Conjures Doubt and Dread Within Sam Raimi’s Woods [Halloweenies Podcast]
Something strange is going on. The Halloweenies are back at the cabin, only there’s no Ash. The Delta is outside, sure, but there’s no sign of our chainsaw-wielding lothario. No, there’s a new darkness within these woods — one that’s wrapped in plastic and harnessed by barbed wire. You might call it an abomination. Damn, things sure got ugly around here… and fast.
Join the gang around the cellar door as they unchain Fede Alvarez‘s 2013 reimagining of Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead. Together, they debate whether or not this is a remake, a requel, or a sequel before praising the depth of the story, the performances of Jane Levy and Lou Taylor Pucci, and all the practical effects. Special guest includes Rachel Reeves of Rue Morgue.

Each month promises something new and unexpected from the wildest corners of the genre.
It’s always a cruel summer, but 2026 is about to get crueler.
To blow off steam, the Losers hit the road to visit all the towns in Stephen King’s Dominion. Derry, Castle Rock, Ludlow, Boulder, the list goes on. They’ve got miles to drive and so many (scary) sights to see. At the end of the day, though, they have to ask themselves: Which one’s the best? And, more importantly, what does “best” mean in this context?
