Evil Dead II (1987) | Episode #34

from Such a Nightmare: Conversations about Horror Hosted by Such a Nightmare

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 1987 film Evil Dead II. Episode Highlights: We celebrate the virtues of this campy classic by examining it through...but of course!..the lens of Susan Sontag's 1964 "On Camp." Looking at how the film--almost despite its own best efforts--manages to be rather great, we talk about Bruce Campbell as a performer, explore how the film deconstructs borders and boundaries, and think about ways to read this film alongside its cinematic predecessor. A Dose of Scholarship: Reading Susan Sontag's 1964 "On Camp" is a great way to better understand this liminal category (what's camp? you know it when you see it!). We also recommend the essay by Marcia England entitled "Breached Bodies and Home Invasions," which we discuss in this episode.
