The ultimate experience in grueling horror is returning to the drive-in thanks to Grindhouse Releasing this summer. The company is bringing Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead to drive-in theaters beginning this Saturday night, June 13th. The movie’s first stop will be Pride’s Corner Drive-In in Westbrook, Maine, with more venues being confirmed as we speak.
We’ll be sure to report more dates and locations as we learn them. Stay tuned.
Last Halloween season, Grindhouse Releasing brought The Evil Dead to theaters for the first time in 4K with a terrifying new soundtrack from original composer Joseph LoDuca. Grindhouse explained to us today, “We’re now releasing the original version to drive-ins – scanned from the 16mm camera negative in 2K with Joe’s original score and soundtrack.”
The company adds, “If exhibitors want to show the 4K DCP of ‘Evil Dead Reimagined’, we can supply it, so it depends on the individual drive-ins. (I know of at least one that will be showing the Reimagined cut, and another drive-in that’s showing it in 35mm.)”
Be scared AND safe! https://t.co/VkhYzjMa8k
