Episode 88 - The Evil Dead
from When Banned Things Happen To Good People Hosted by toddsullivan
It's been a crazy few weeks for us here at Banned Things, and we haven't had the chance to get together to record a new episode, so here's one from our bank that we recorded earlier in 2025 dedicated to Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead. Todd and Pete break down this classic of sloppy gore, slapstick comedy, and books of the dead, while considering its rightful place in horror history.
