It will be fun to go see the classic on the big screen again; it is always a good time, especially since there will be people who will be seeing it for the first time. And it is wild that it is 40 years old; it sure does not feel like it. Evil Dead has been a part of our lives for so long, I can think of no better way to celebrate than to watch it on the big screen one more time.
