Dates and Locations for 'Evil Dead' Re-Release

Remember about a month ago when we told you The Evil Dead would soon be returning to theaters? It'll be a limited run arriving first in Minneapolis on January 8th, with Grindhouse Releasing getting the nod of approval from Sam Raimi, producer Robert Tapert, and Bruce Campbell for the relaunch.

Bloody Disgusting had the most up-to-date list of dates, which as of now runs through May, symbolic of the way independent horror movies and other cult films had to be released nationwide, weekend-by-weekend without a major nationwide campaign. And the best way to see an old horror classic is definitely on the big screen, before home video or cable was much of an option.

Talking about the re-release, Campbell said in a statement, “Nothing can prepare an audience for what they are about to see, because nothing punishes an audience like Evil Dead - especially on the big screen. I’m really glad it’s back. People are gonna be hurt.”

Here are the cities that have been announced:

January 8-9:
Uptown Theatre, Minneapolis

January 15-16:
Esquire Theatre, Denver

January 29-30:
Sunshine Cinema, New York

February 5-6:
Egyptian Theatre, Seattle

February 19-20:
River Oaks Theatre, Houston

February 26-27:
Inwood, Dallas

March 5:
Nuart Theatre, Los Angeles

May 22
Hudson Horrorshow, Poughkipsie, NY
