Evil Dead Keeps Shuffling Along
Evil Dead, of course, started in 1981 with the original Sam Raimi film. It has spawned two sequels, a remake, a spin-off, and a three-season television show. To say that this has become one of the most beloved, most unlikely franchises in horror is an understatement. All told, the films at the box office have never been more than modest hits, with the entire franchise grossing a little over $300 million worldwide. That does not count the money made on the countless pieces of merchandise and more, bearing the name and characters.
Evil Dead Rise, which came out in 2023, was fine. It was nothing earth-shattering, but I like that this is the direction they have decided to go with the franchise. It is what Halloween should have done years ago. Give young voices in horror a platform, elevate them, let them do their thing, and soak up the box office. If some of them don't work, no biggie; the next one will, and the budgets are so low that there is very little risk. Take note, not all horror franchises are equal; some continuity can be let go of.
Evil Dead Burn will be released in theaters on July 24, 2025. The other project has no known title or release date as of now. Stay tuned.
