Brigham Young University commit Brayden Kearsley posted this photo of him burning a letter from the Utah football department on Instagram. Not only is Kearsley torching this letter but he included a curse word in the text of the Instagram post. The horror. This is supposed to be the school with the most stringent honor code that doesn't even allow you to consume caffeine. This act has already been done by Michigan recruit Logan Tuley-Tillman who torched his letter from Ohio State not too long ago. The rivalry between BYU and Utah is heating up again. Literally. The sad part is that he had to take this picture through use of a mirror. I guess he couldn't find a friend to hold the camera for him.
Brayden Kearsley is listed as a three star athlete on Rivals.com and holds offers from Arizona State, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon State, UCLA, and Washington.

Critics Say Grounding Shows Arctic Drilling Danger
By DAN JOLING
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) â¿¿ The grounding of a petroleum drilling ship on a remote Alaska island has refueled the debate over oil exploration in the U.S. Arctic Ocean, where critics for years have said the conditions are too harsh and the stakes too high to allow dangerous industrial development.
The drilling sites are 1,000 miles from Coast Guard resources, and environmentalists argue offshore drilling in the Arctic's fragile ecosystem is too risky. So when a Royal Dutch Shell PLC ship went aground on New Year's Eve on an uninhabited island in the Gulf of Alaska, they pounced â¿¿ saying the incident foreshadowed what will happen north of the Bering Strait if drilling is allowed.
For oil giant Shell, which leads the way in drilling in the frontier waters of the U.S Arctic, a spokesman said the grounding will be a learning experience in the company's yearslong effort to draw oil from beneath the ocean floor, which it maintains it can do safely. Though no wells exist there yet, Shell has invested billions of dollars gearing up for drilling in the Beaufort and the Chukchi seas, off Alaska's north and northwest coast.
The potential bounty is high: The U.S. Geological Survey estimates 26.6 billion barrels of recoverable oil and 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas exist below Arctic waters. Environmentalists note the Beaufort and the Chukchi seas are some of the wildest and most remote ecosystems on the planet. They also are among the most fragile, supporting polar bears, the ice seals they feed on, walrus, endangered whales and other marine mammals that Alaska Natives depend on for their subsistence culture. "The Arctic is just far different than the Gulf of Alaska or even other places on earth," said Marilyn Heiman, U.S. Arctic director for the Pew Environment Group.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Diabetes In America: A Majority Of Americans Recognize The Threat Diabetes Poses To The Nation's Health And Have A Solid Understanding About The Disease And Its Consequences. (Graphic: UnitedHealth Group)
A majority of Americans recognize the threat diabetes poses to the nation's health and have a solid understanding about the disease and its consequences, according to a new survey from UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH).
November is National Diabetes Month – an opportunity for people to turn awareness into action and play a part in helping to tackle the epidemic, which is taking a toll on the health and financial well-being of individuals, families, communities, businesses and the nation's health system.
UnitedHealth Group's national survey, conducted via telephone with more than 1,000 U.S. adults age 18 and older, found that:
- 92 percent of respondents know there is a difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes;
- 82 percent recognize that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable;
- 73 percent believe they will not necessarily get diabetes just because it runs in their family;
- 60 percent know the definition of the term "prediabetes";
- 84 percent are familiar with leading diabetes risk factors including: being overweight (80 percent), a family history of diabetes (76 percent), lack of exercise (74 percent), high blood pressure (59 percent), high cholesterol (58 percent), and being age 45 or older (48 percent); and
- 85 percent have had their blood sugar level tested and know the result.
Complete survey results can be found here [ http://www.businesswire.com/cgi-bin/mmg.cgi?eid=50463560&lang=en].
"People are taking notice that we face a public health crisis in the form of obesity, prediabetes and diabetes, so the opportunity now exists to turn awareness into actions like eating healthier, increasing physical activity, being tested for risk factors or joining prevention programs," said Deneen Vojta, M.D., senior vice president of UnitedHealth Group and chief clinical officer of the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance (DPCA). "Our national conversation around the diabetes epidemic has entered a new era; it's time national actions do the same." To learn more about what Americans have to say about the threat diabetes poses to the nation's health, visit: www.unitedhealthgroup.com/diabetes Reversing a Preventable Epidemic According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are about 26 million American adults with diabetes. More than 90 percent of them suffer from type 2 diabetes, the often preventable form of the disease. Currently about 35 percent of the U.S. adult population has prediabetes, putting 79 million Americans at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. UnitedHealth Center for Health Reform & Modernization research shows that more than half of all Americans will have diabetes or prediabetes by the end of this decade. "By 2021, about 40 million American adults will have diabetes and another 100 million will be diagnosed with prediabetes – at a cost of $3.5 trillion over the next decade," said Tom Beauregard, executive vice president of UnitedHealth Group and executive director of the UnitedHealth Center for Health Reform & Modernization. "Given these figures, it's clear there is a diabetes time bomb ticking in America, due in large part to the escalating obesity rates in our country. Practical steps can be taken, however, to defuse this time bomb."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hello All, I am new to the whole idea of making wine at home. I have not even bought a kit, but plan to do so very soon. I did a quick search, but did not find anything. Just wondering if you guys/gals had any suggestions for a complete wine making kit. I also noticed people talking about stagging as I will learn about, but most kits seem like they come with 2 larger sized bottles. I found one site that sells a complete kit for about $150.00, it has 2 large bottles (carboy?) and 24 wine bottles. If I wanted more than one batch going at a time, since it would seem most wine needs to sit at least 6 months to a year. What is your suggestion and a average price point for the needed materials. From the sounds of things I can't wait to try the Apfelwein. Anyway, nice reading what I have and I hope to be producing some good wine in the future. Me and the wife want to do this together. Plus we already talked about planting grapes before wine even came up. So maybe in the future I'll make some out of my own grapes!!
Hello VVolf27, Welcome. I am also somewhat new to the making of wine. Currently I have my second batch bubbling away. Both my first and second were from wine kits. If you have brewed beer at all you may be tempted to use some of your other equipment, but from everything I have been told that would be a bad idea. Also good thought on more than one carboy. If you are going to be patient, then racking it into the second carboy to bulk age for a month or three is a good idea. Also almost all wine kits that you can buy make 23L/6gallons, which means that you will need at least 30 bottles. Now the most difficult part, selecting the wine kit. If you do decided to use a kit which is highly suggested over that of just buying things mashing them and hoping for the best, your going to have a nightmare without this information. You will start to notice that there are huge price disparities between different kits, and it will make absolutely no sense. Now we know of the 'snob' effect in wine, that is more expensive wine is 'perceived' as better, and you would initially assume that the more expensive kits would be better. What you are looking for is the quantity of grape juice concentrate. I had no idea until I stumbled across this site which laid it out perfectly for me: http://www.finevinewines.com/how-to-choose-a-wine-making-kit.html Once you read that you should be easily able to select a kit. Just to let you know both the merlot that I made, and the Pinot Noir that is going came from 10L kits, and cost around $100. My merlot was amazing, even more than I thought I could achieve, and the Pinot Noir is looking very good also. My suggestion is to get a 10L kit for your first and follow the instruction so that you understand, and then move on from there. Also get a few people you can give wine to, because 30 bottles of wine doesnt sound like a lot, but it is. Hope this helped.
Making wine from kits is farily straight-forward and gives you really good results. There are tons of wine kits out there, so just pick one that looks good to you. IMHO, you get what you pay for! If you're going to make a Pinot that you wish to cellar for a few years, make sure you get a good quality kit. Most of the kits I have seen come with a bag of juice that already has the acidity, pH, and sulfites added. No need for further testing which is a plus! I have also got a 6 gallon bucket of straight up juice, but it was still balanced out so there were no acid additions or anything like that needed. It's very simple to make. Pour the wine in the bucket, pitch yeast, let sit. Follow the instructions that the manufacturer gave you to a T. This is essential. When making a kit, you have to follow their directions. This means racking when you're supposed to, degassing when you're supposed to, etc. They're pros at what they do and give you the instructions to ensure the best quality wine is made. A little later on, you can get into strictly juice with no additives, country wines (made from fruits), or other wines. Over the past year I've really dove into my wine making. I think the "science" part of wine making is actually much more fun, and more work, than beer making. Best of luck to you!
"Brewers enjoy working to make beer as much as drinking beer instead of working."-Harold Rudolph
Thanks for the replies, but I think I might have misspoke. I have no wine making equipment at all. I have found what they call beginner wine making kits and complete kits that come with the equipment I need. I have seen the kits that come with the ingredients to make wine and will probably start with one of those. But I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to by the equipment to make wine!! Would to carboys be enough? I do think I would like to age wine from every batch at least 6 months!! Maybe not the whole batch, but some of it. So I guess I am looking for suggestions on what equipment or any specific manufacture to choose. What things sound really great, but are not really needed. Things that you must have to even begin thinking about making your first batch! Like I said I am a total newbie to this.
Well sorry about that... I use two site for buying beer/wine ingrediants. First of all if there is anything local to you, I would check that out since the shipping on equipment may be more expensive. Secondly you'll get into a slight turf war as to glass/plastic (food grade) carboys. Some like to use glass siting that even high food grade plastic is slightly gas permeable and therefore your wine could oxidize. Others say that since good wine is aged in oak which is also slightly gas permeable its okay. The otherside will come back and say it picks up plastic and back and forth so on. Either way whatever you want you need to choose. I have 4 glass carboys that are 6 gallon and 4 that are 1 gallon. This is just what I had happened to pick up. Other than that all the equipment kits are the same. You want a 7-8 gallon plastic primary fermentation bucket (ferments 6 but with enough headspace to prevent messes) You need a racking cane, some tubing, a carboy or two, some sanitizer and a corker. Anything else is just icing on the cake. Now if there is nothing close to you or you want internet price comparison, here are two sites that I use for my beer and wine supplies. The first, www.beerwine.com has more equipment and ingrediants however some things are more expensive. The second, www.homebrewers.com I have recently found and they are cheaper though they have less variety. Hope this helps to answer your question this time around.
thank you very much zeppman! just reading around a bit what do I need to take measurements? the 1.108 I read about it needs to be .998. What tool measures that?
Thank you, doing a little more research I just figured that out. Also found a local store that sells supplies. Will have to go check them out. Would any of you suggest Apfelwein as a second or even first attempt? Thats stuff sounds really yummy!!
If you have no equipment to start, Northern Brewer is running a 10% off sale on their kits. . Their basic kit would be less than $100 with a plastic carboy, just over for glass (get the glass, IMO). I'm just getting into winemaking myself, but the kit seems pretty complete and not a bad deal (the 6g glass carboy alone retails for about $40).
Thanks for the link. I found this beginners kit a couple days ago. Whats the major difference?

European Explorers Meet Early Iowans
This video player uses Microsoft Silverlight.
This is the land between two rivers: the Might Mississippi and the Missouri. Land that Indians called their home for thousands of years, we now call Iowa. They were not a single unified nation, but a race of many nations and many languages. When the first European explores landed on this continent they were viewed with a mixture of curiosity and friendship by the natives. The first Europeans called these people Indians for they believed they had landed in the East Indies. The Indians gladly shared the land with the white man and taught them how to live in the new land; to raise corn, beans and tobacco, and how to build birch-bark canoes. The early white settlers, learned well from their red brothers, soon sent word back across the waters to their motherland of the new land they had found.

Justin teased his fans with a sexy new Instagram video about his upcoming single, 'Bad Day,' which will be released on Nov. 4 for the fifth installment of Music Mondays. Watch the video here!
Justin Bieber's song may be called "Bad Day," but he says Nov. 1 was a "great day" for him and his fans! The new Instagram video shows Justin, 19, stepping out onto his hotel balcony in in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to say hello to his screaming fans, who clearly can't contain their excitement over the Biebs and his new song. Read on for more details!
Justin Bieber's 'Bad Day' — JB Hints At Next Music Monday Song On Instagram
Justin's new Instagram video has us more excited than ever for the release of "Bad Day."
In the video, Justin, wearing a backwards baseball cap and black sunglasses, is shown taping himself slowly walking out of his hotel room as he says, "Yo, so bad day is coming out, but you know what, it's a great day because look at all these beautiful fans."
He then turns the camera around to reveal a slew of screaming fans below him, giving a cute smile to acknowledge their excitement. He also alluded to the song by posting a picture of Tupac giving the camera the finger, which he captioned "bad day." Justin is really teasing us this time!
We can't wait to hear the new single since it seems like Justin is really passionate about it.
Justin Bieber Releases 'Recovery' — About Selena Gomez?
Justin released his new song "Recovery" for the fourth installation of Music Mondays on Oct. 28 — and we can't help but think it's about ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, 21.
The song is a smooth and sexy acoustic track in which he channels his idol, R&B artist Craig David. He sings about letting his first love know he is "missing her from a distance" and that he wants to be with her again more than anything in the world.
Sounds exactly like he's singing about his love for Selena. Well, more like pouring his heart out to her!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you excited to hear "Bad Day"? Do you think it will be Justin's best song yet? Let us know.

Paulson's plan too long-term for some in Congress
Reception to reform is warm on the Hill, but lawmakers seek more urgent action.
In proposing a broad, complex overhaul of US financial regulation Monday, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson cautioned that the plan would take years of patient negotiation to execute. Some elements could move in the near term, he said, but most must wait until "the current market stress is past."
But for many lawmakers – returning to Capitol Hill Monday after two weeks in their states and districts – the priority is quick, decisive action to show voters they grasp the magnitude of the crisis threatening the No. 1 investment of many families: their homes.
That disconnect is one reason for an initial mixed response to the Bush administration plan among key committee chairs, as well as many top GOP lawmakers.
"The administration's blueprint, while deserving of careful consideration, would do little if anything to alleviate the current crisis – which was brought on by a failure of will," said Sen. Christopher Dodd (D) of Connecticut, who chairs the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, in a statement.
For Congress, the first step in a crisis is to summon those deemed responsible to a hearing room to lob tough questions at them in front of TV cameras. On April 3, the Senate banking panel will question regulators and CEOs of Bear Stearns and JPMorgan Chase about "the current market turmoil."

Degree & Minor Requirements
The School of Business offers three undergraduate degrees:
Bachelor of Business Administration – with concentration options in these areas:
Bachelor of Science in Finance (by application only)
The first year of requirements can be the same for all GWSB students regardless of the degree pursued, which gives our students time to explore and research the different degree options.
The School of Business offers one minor for students outside of GWSB:
Minor options for GWSB students:
The BBA and BAccy degrees allow students to choose a minor outside of the School of Business; BBA students entering Fall 2014 or later are required to complete a minor outside of the School of Business. Students should consult with the department in which their minor interest is housed to learn more about minor course requirements. They should also consult with their GWSB advisor to insure they will be able to pursue a minor and stay on track towards graduation. Minors can typically be completed within four years for students who have only one BBA concentration; students completing a dual concentration and/or studying abroad may or may not be able to complete a minor in four years. The Minor Declaration Form can be found on the Advising Center's Forms page.

SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. -- A man whose home was robbed last week heard someone breaking in again on Tuesday morning, said he grabbed his shotgun and hit one robbery suspect with birdshot.
The incident happened after 9 a.m. at this home on Nodding Hill Road.
The 911 call came in at 9:19 a.m. about a home invasion burglary at 632 Nodding Hill Road in Spartanburg County, said Public Information Officer Tony Ivey.
Ric Clary said, "I was asleep on the couch. I heard this racket. It sounded like a bomb or something going in. I guess it's where they kicked the back door in. I heard glass. I got off the couch, ran in the bedroom, got my gun out from under the bed. The zipper was stuck on the case (and I) couldn't get the gun out. I was shaking all to pieces.
"I come running through there -- he was sticking his arm in the door there -- and I shot him."
Clary told deputies that two, possibly three, robbers were involved. They took off running after he fired, leaving a vehicle in the yard of the house. Clary was not injured.
He said, "Only thing made me mad -- my gun jammed. I couldn't get another shot."
Clary said he hadn't fired the gun in four years.
"I would've fired five times. I had five bullets in it. So it saved their life."
Charlene Cothran, the victim's stepdaughter, also lives in the house.
Cothran said, "I had been gone 45 minutes this morning and I got a call saying that they had came in and my stepdad had shot someone.
"He said they kicked the door in because we had a new lock and they busted the glass on the kitchen door We think maybe it's someone we know or someone that's been here and knows us and maybe knows what we have. But we have no idea," Cothran said.
Deputies think the other people involved were picked up by someone and driven out of the area. The robbers left a 9 mm weapon on the porch, deputies said.
Tuesday afternoon, Ivey said that wounded robber, a 16-year-old, had shown up at a hospital a short time later. The hospital reported the teen, who had been wounded in the left hand and forearm, to deputies.
The teen is charged with first-degree burglary and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Investigators said they determined the 9 mm gun was stolen during a burglary in December in Spartanburg.
Investigators said the teen is being uncooperative. They are continuing to search for his accomplices.
Family Had Previous Break-In
Cothran said last Monday, when she was out of town, she found a glass storm door broken and the house broken into.
"I found that my iPod was stolen and the computer was unhooked and it was attempted to be taken. We think our neighbors scared them off," she said.
Isn't it scary how many times you hear about someone's gun "jamming" because it hasn't been cleaned or used in forever? Homeowner was incredibly lucky on this one. Several armed robbers, breaking in in broad daylight, likely knew someone was home... SOMEBODY was gonna get shot. Glad it was the bad guys.

text: Forums The Young and the Restless YR – Estella reinstated Viewing 6 posts - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) Author Posts May 8, 2010 at 4:39 pm #111808 Authoress 1 Posts Isn't it time Victor and Ashley appologize and compensate Estella for the slur to her name and offer her a position of authority at the ranch.. Maybe finance her training leading to a career at Newman? Rafe could be involved in a settlement to catapult Estella into a better financial position. She has certainly been a loyal and honest employee? May 9, 2010 at 1:12 am #2013470 alstonboy4315 853 Posts Authoress– I do think that Estella should be vindicated and given an apology, but the problem with Y&R nowadays is that they don't seem to respect their minority characters (whether they be Hispanic or African American) enough to give them ANY real airtime. They are only writing Rafe and Estella (two great Hispanic characters with great potential) as supporting characters around the Newmans. They clearly have no real desire to use these characters in ANY real capacity—-except for maybe once a month, if that—-so I don't see them doing much with Estella's character in the future. They will probably end up writing her off the show and not even showing her again. Sad, but true. May 11, 2010 at 1:55 am #2013601 ldylkng 114 Posts I HAVE SO BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!! May 12, 2010 at 11:46 pm #2014015 coach.craig 8 Posts I agree–she deserves it.It would also be a good way to bring back Rafe, but these current writers have no clue how to write for a gay character obviously May 15, 2010 at 11:54 pm #2014405 sodsince16 33 Posts I'm sorry but I have to disagree. While I think Estella has a hell of a lawsuit on her hands (false arrest, wrongful termination, discrimination to name but a few) – she was sort a bitch during Ashley's pregnant. In the past, most members of the staff at the Newman ranch could cook, clean and do Mrs. Newman's hair. Estella seemed to have a bit a bad attitude about her role in the house. So, it may be a better idea for Estella to sue Victor et al., get a huge settlement, and buy a ranch of her own. May 16, 2010 at 7:25 pm #2014465 ldylkng 114 Posts Don't think so! She was dedicated to Nikki, and was there forever. Seems to me Nikki would bring her back and secure her financial future forever. I totally understood why she didn't like Ashley.

I laughed at that when it happened. He jumped right in front of Faulk to nab it. I thought 'How rude'. lol
i was thinking about that this morning--i think LM saw the field and how the left sideline was open... but seriously--we need to get him out of there--no way should he be on the kick return team...
Why do we need to get him out of there? ST are just important as th O & D. You can win/lose on ST's. He has no greater risk of injury running back kicks than he has catching a screen pass or catching a ball over the middle or running an off tackle play and getting twisted up in a pile of 300 pounders.
twas sarcasm I am an outspoken proponent of players playing...and having LM back there on kickoffs saves me a few years of my life...compared to the feeling I get every time Kevin Faulk takes the ball...(HOLD ON TO THAT BALL!!! ARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!)
Missed the sarc, my bad. There have been posters here who have been critical of the team using LM on kick returns. I didn't know if you were one of them or not.
Until he hit this long return I was wondering about having maroney returning kicks. But if you watch him he just kind of runs at three quarters speed up to where the lines converge. If he does not see a hole he just slows down alot to lessen the hit he is going to take. But like Sunday when he does see a little hole he turns on the afterburners and goes for it. So to me it seems less likely that he will be hurt by doing this. Just my opinion on it.

U.S. Housing Cannot Recover
NEW YORK ( Real Money) -- I am inundated daily with calls from clients and associates who tell me that another analyst or pundit is cheering the housing rebound. They follow up by asking me whether or not I have changed my negative opinion of the sector. I have not. However, I will approach the subject again from another tack that I hope provides some clarity.
The most important issues to consider are:
- How many foreclosures have there been?
- How many more will there be?
- What do the banks plan to do with them?
Properties received by banks through the process of foreclosure are carried and accounted for as Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). The three primary categories of OREO are 1-4 Unit Residential, Commercial, and Construction and Development.
In this column, I will only address 1-4 Unit Residential properties, which represent 25% of all OREO at U.S. banks. I will discuss the others in future column or in the comments section below if readers are interested.
There are about 7,000 banks in the U.S. and OREO affects all of them. The principal value of mortgages tied to the OREO at the four largest institutions, JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report), Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), Citigroup (C - Get Report), and Wells Fargo (WFC - Get Report) is much lower as a percentage of outstanding loans than at the smaller institutions below them. This is because the smaller banks have foreclosed on non-performing mortgages while the larger institutions have not. The result of this is that the outstanding value of non-performing mortgages held by the four largest money centers are much higher than at the smaller banks. The money centers have simply not been foreclosing. The value of the loans attached to OREO, the properties already foreclosed on by the four largest money centers, is only 3% of the value of the non-performing loans they hold; the properties that have yet to be foreclosed on but most probably will be. The 97% of mortgage loans that have not been foreclosed on but probably will be makes up the largest percentage of what is known as shadow inventory. This number is so horrifically high that even the pundits aware of the issue won't discuss it publicly -- probably because their own livelihoods could be at stake for doing so.Select the service that is right for you!

The Evil Dead is a 1981 American horror film written and directed by Sam Raimi and executive produced by Raimi and Bruce Campbell, who also stars alongside Ellen Sandweiss and Betsy Baker. The Evil Dead focuses on five college students vacationing in an isolated cabin in a remote wooded area. After they find an audiotape that releases a legion of demons and spirits, members of the group suffer from demonic possession, leading to increasingly gory mayhem. Raimi and the cast produced the short film Within the Woods as a "prototype" to build the interest of potential investors, which secured Raimi US$90,000 to produce The Evil Dead. The film was shot on location in a remote cabin located in Morristown, Tennessee, in a difficult filming process that proved extremely uncomfortable for the majority of the cast and crew.
The low-budget horror film attracted the interest of producer Irvin Shapiro, who helped screen the film at the 1982 Cannes Film Festival. Horror author Stephen King gave a rave review of the film, which helped convince New Line Cinema to serve as its distributor. Though a meager commercial success in the United States, the film made its budget back through worldwide distribution, and grossed $2.4 million during its theatrical run. Both early and later critical reception were both universally positive and in the years since its release, The Evil Dead has developed a reputation as one of the largest cult films and has been cited among the greatest horror films of all time. The Evil Dead launched the careers of Campbell and Raimi, who would collaborate on several films together throughout the years, including Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.
The film has spawned a media franchise, beginning with two sequels written and directed by Raimi, Evil Dead II (1987) and Army of Darkness (1992), as well as video games and comic books. The film's protagonist Ash Williams (Campbell) is regarded as a cult icon. The fourth film, serving as both a reboot and a remake, was titled Evil Dead and was released in 2013. Raimi co-produced the film alongside Campbell and the franchise producer, Robert Tapert.
The Evil Dead focuses on five Michigan State University students: Ash Williams and his girlfriend Linda, accompanied by Ash's sister Cheryl, their friend Scotty, and his girlfriend Shelly, who venture into the Tennessee hills to vacation in an isolated cabin for their spring break. They soon run into trouble, first narrowly avoiding another motorist, then having a sudden scare as the bridge near the cabin begins to collapse as they cross. That night, while Cheryl is making a drawing of a clock, her hand becomes violently possessed by a mysterious entity, causing her to draw a picture that looks like a deformed, evil face. She fails to mention the incident to the others, dismissing it as her imagination.
When the trapdoor to the cellar mysteriously flies open during dinner, Ash and Scotty go down to investigate and find the Naturon Demonto, a Sumerian version of the Book of the Dead, along with a tape recording of incantations, which, when played, unleashes evil demons and spirits. The group is unaware of this, but Cheryl becomes hysterical when a tree crashes through the window, and retires to her room. Later, hearing voices, she goes outside to investigate. Alone and far from the safety of the cabin, she is attacked and raped by demonically possessed trees, but manages to escape. The others do not believe her story, but Ash agrees to drive her to town where she can find a place to stay for the night. However, they find that the only bridge connecting the cabin to the rest of the world has been destroyed. Back at the cabin, while the girls play cards, Cheryl becomes demonically possessed, telling them that the demons will kill them. She then stabs Linda in the ankle with a pencil, and Scotty locks her in the cellar.
Shelly is the next to become possessed; she attacks Scotty, who eventually dismembers her with an axe. They bury her, and Scotty, emotionally shaken by her death, leaves to find an alternate trail through the woods.
Checking on Linda, Ash discovers that she, too, has become possessed, although she makes no attempt to attack him. Scotty returns, suffering from grave injuries caused by the possessed trees. Before losing consciousness, he tells Ash that an alternate trail does exist. Linda and Cheryl unsuccessfully attempt to deceive Ash into believing they are no longer possessed, only to attack him again. He locks Linda outside the cabin and tends to Scotty's injuries, but she sneaks in through the back-door and attacks Ash with a ceremonial dagger, which he uses to impale her. Taking her body to the woodshed, Ash tries to force himself to dismember her with a chainsaw, but finds himself unable to do it and buries her instead. She rises from the grave and attacks him, forcing him to decapitate her with a shovel.
Returning to the cabin, Ash finds that Cheryl has escaped from the cellar. Arming himself with a shotgun, he finds her hiding outside and shoots her in the shoulder. He then descends into the cellar to search for more shotgun shells after barricading the doors. While there, he hears voices and sees blood seeping from numerous crevices and openings in the walls.
A demonically possessed Scotty tries to kill Ash as Cheryl breaks through the door. During their fight, Ash sees that the Book of the Dead has fallen near the fireplace and is starting to burn, as are Cheryl and Scotty. As Cheryl raises a fireplace poker to impale him, Ash snatches the book and throws it into the fire. With the book burnt, Cheryl and Scotty fall apart and die as the sun rises.
As Ash heads outside, an unseen evil speeds through the forest, breaks through the doors of the cabin and descends upon him. He turns around and screams in terror before the film cuts to the end credits.
Director Raimi had grown up with Campbell, and the two formed a friendship at a very young age.[2] The duo directed several low-budget Super 8 mm film projects together.[3] Several were comedies, including Clockwork and It's Murder!.[4][5] Shooting a suspense scene in It's Murder! inspired Raimi to approach a career in the horror genre, and after researching horror cinema at drive-in theaters, Raimi was set on directing a horror film. The idea was to shoot a short film first, which would attract the interest of producers, and then use the money gained from that to shoot a full-length project.[5][6] The short film that Raimi created was called Within the Woods.[7] It was produced for $1,600, but for The Evil Dead, Raimi needed over $100,000.[8]
To generate funds for the film, Raimi approached Phil Gillis, a lawyer to one of his friends.[8][9] Raimi showed him Within the Woods, and although Gillis was not impressed by the short film, he offered Raimi legal advice on how to produce The Evil Dead. With his advice in mind, Raimi asked a variety of people for donations, and even eventually "begged" some.[8] Campbell had to ask several of his own family members, and Raimi asked every individual he thought could be interested.[8] He eventually raised enough money to produce a full-length film, though not the full amount he originally wanted.[8]
With enough money to produce the film, Raimi and Campbell set out to make what was then titled Book of the Dead, a name inspired by Raimi's interest in the writer H. P. Lovecraft.[5][10] The film was supposed to be a remake of Within the Woods, with higher production values and a full-length running time. Raimi turned twenty just before shooting began, and he considered the project his "rite of passage".[11]

Raimi asked for help and assistance from several of his friends and past collaborators to make The Evil Dead.[11] Campbell was cast as Ash Williams, the main character.[12] To acquire more actors for the project, an ad in The Detroit News was placed. Betsy Baker was one of the actresses who responded, and Ellen Sandweiss, who appeared in Within the Woods, was also cast.[11] The crew consisted almost entirely of Raimi and Campbell's friends and family. The make-up adviser for Within the Woods, Tom Sullivan, was brought on to compose the effects after expressing a positive reaction to working with Raimi.[12]
Without any formal assistance from location scouts, the cast had to find filming locations on their own. The crew initially attempted to shoot the film in Raimi's hometown of Royal Oak, Michigan, but instead chose Morristown, Tennessee, as Tennessee was the only state that expressed enthusiasm for the project. The crew quickly found a remote cabin located several miles away from any other buildings. During pre-production, the thirteen crew members had to stay at the cabin, leading to several people sleeping in the same room. The living conditions were notoriously difficult, with several arguments breaking out between crew members.[13]
Steve Frankel was the only carpenter on set, which made him the art direction's sole contributor.[14] For exterior shots, Frankel had to produce several elaborate props with a circular saw. Otherwise, the cabin mostly remained the way it was found during production. The cabin had no plumbing, but phone lines were connected to it.[13][15]
Because of the crew's inexperience, filming was a "comedy of errors".[16] The first day of filming led to the crew getting lost in the woods during a scene shot on a bridge.[16] Several crew members became injured during the shoot, and because of the cabin's remoteness, securing medical assistance was difficult.[17] One notably gruesome moment on set involved ripping off Baker's eyelashes during removal of her face-mask.[14] Because of the low budget, contact lenses as thick as glass had to be applied to the actors to achieve the "demonic eyes" effect.[14] The lenses took ten minutes to apply, and could only be left on for about fifteen minutes because eyes could not "breathe" with them applied.[14] Campbell later commented that to get the effect of wearing these lenses, they had to put "Tupperware" over their eyes.[14]
Raimi developed a sense of mise en scène, coming up with ideas for scenes at a fast rate.[9] He had drawn several crude illustrations to help him break down the flow of scenes. The crew was surprised when Raimi began using dutch angles during shots to build atmosphere during scenes.[18] To accommodate Raimi's style of direction, several elaborate, low-budget rigs had to be built, since the crew could not afford a camera dolly. One involved the "vas-o-cam", which relied on a mounted camera that was slid down long wood platforms to create a more fluid sense of motion.[18]
A camera trick used to emulate a Steadicam inexpensively was the "shaky cam", which involved mounting the camera to a piece of wood and having two camera operators sprint around the swamp. [19] During scenes involving the unseen force in the woods watching the characters, Raimi had to run through the woods with the makeshift rig, jumping over logs and stones.[18] This often proved difficult due to mist in the swamp.[20] The film's final scene was shot with the camera mounted to a bike, while it was quickly driven through the cabin to create a seamless long take.[18]
Raimi had been a big fan of the The Three Stooges franchise during his youth, and it inspired him to use "fake shemps" during production.[4][9][21] In any scene that required a background shot of a character, he would use another actor as a substitute to save time if the original actor was preoccupied.[22] During a close-up involving Richard DeManicor's hand opening a curtain, Raimi used his own hand in the scene since it was more convenient. His brother Ted Raimi was used as a substitute in many scenes when the original actor was either busy or preoccupied.[22]
Raimi famously enjoyed "torturing" his actors.[23][24] Raimi believed that to capture pain and anger in his actors, he had to abuse them a little at times, saying, "if everyone was in extreme pain and misery, that would translate into a horror."[23] Producer Robert Tapert agreed with Raimi, commenting that he "enjoyed when an actor bleeds."[23] While shooting a scene with Campbell running down a hill, Campbell tripped and injured his leg.[25] Raimi enjoyed poking Campbell's injury with a stick he found in the woods. Because of the copious amounts of blood in the film, the crew produced gallons of fake blood with karo syrup.[17][25] It took Campbell hours to remove the sticky substance from himself.[25] Several actors had inadvertently been stabbed or thrown into objects during production.[23][25]
On the last few days on set, the conditions had become so poor that the crew began burning furniture to stay warm. Since only exterior shots needed to be filmed at that point, they burned nearly every piece of furniture left.[26] Several actors went days without showering, and because of the freezing conditions, several caught colds and other illnesses. Campbell later described the filming process as nearly "twelve weeks of mirthless exercise in agony", though he allowed that he did manage to have fun while on set.[25] On January 23, 1980, filming was finished and almost every crew member left the set to return home, with Campbell staying with Raimi.[26] While looking over the footage that had been shot, Raimi discovered that a few pick-ups were required to fill in missing shots. Four days of re-shoots were then done to complete the film.[27] The final moment involved Campbell having "monster-guts" splattered on him in the basement.[27]
After the extensive filming process, Raimi had a "mountain of footage" that he had to put together.[17][28] He chose a Detroit editing association, where he met Edna Paul, to cut the film. Paul's assistant was Joel Coen of the Coen brothers, who helped with the film's editing.[28][29] Paul edited a majority of the film, although Coen notably edited the shed sequence. Coen had been inspired by Raimi's Within the Woods and liked the idea of producing a prototype film to help build the interest of investors.[29][30] Joel used the concept to help make Blood Simple with his brother Ethan, and he and Raimi became friends following the editing process.[10][30]
The film's first cut ran at around 117 minutes, which Campbell called an impressive achievement in light of the 65-minute length of the screenplay. It was then edited down to a more marketable 85 minutes.[28] Raimi was inspired by the fact that Brian De Palma was editing his own film Blow Out with John Travolta at the same sound facility.[28] One of the most intricate moments during editing was the stop-motion sequence where the corpses "melted", which took hours to cut properly.[28] The film had unique sounds that required extensive recording from the crew.[28][31] Several sounds were not recorded properly during shooting, which meant the effects had to be redone in the editing rooms. Dead chickens were stabbed to replicate the sounds of mutilated flesh, and Campbell had to scream into a microphone for several hours.[28]
Much like Within the Woods, The Evil Dead needed to be blown up to 35mm, then the industry standard, to be played at movie theaters.[28] The relatively large budget made this a much simpler process with The Evil Dead than it had been with the short film.[28]
With the film completed, Raimi and the crew decided to celebrate with a "big premiere".[32] They chose to screen the film at Detroit's Redford Theatre, which Campbell had often visited as a child.[17] Raimi opted to have the most theatrical premiere possible, using custom tickets and wind tracks set in the theater, and ordering ambulances outside the theater to build atmosphere.[32][33] The premiere setup was inspired by horror director William Castle, who would often attempt to scare his audiences by using gimmicks. Local turnout for the premiere exceeded the cast's expectations, with a thousand patrons showing up. The audiences responded enthusiastically to the premiere, which led to Raimi's idea of "touring" the film to build hype.[32]
Raimi showed the film to anyone willing to watch it, booking meetings with distribution agents and anyone with experience in the film industry.[34] Eventually Raimi came across Irvin Shapiro, the man who was responsible for the distribution of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead and other famous horror films.[35][36] Upon first viewing the film, he joked that while it "wasn't Gone with the Wind", it had commercial potential, and he expressed an interest in distributing it.[34] It was his idea not to use the then-title Book of the Dead, because it made the film sound boring. Raimi brainstormed several ideas, eventually going with The Evil Dead, deemed the "least worst" title.[34] Shapiro also advised distributing the film worldwide to garner a larger income, though it required a further financial investment by Raimi, who managed to scrape together what little money he had.[34]
Shapiro was a founder of the Cannes Film Festival, and allowed Raimi to screen the film at the 1982 festival out of competition.[37][38] Stephen King was present at its screening and gave the film a rave review. USA Today released an article about King's favorite horror films; the author cited The Evil Dead as his fifth favorite film of the genre.[38] The film severely impacted King, who commented that while watching the film at Cannes, he was "registering things [he] had never seen in a movie before".[39] He became one of the film's largest supporters during the early efforts to find a distributor, eventually describing it as the "most ferociously original film of the year", a quote used in the film's promotional pieces.[10][40] King's comments attracted the interest of critics, who otherwise would likely have dismissed the low-budget thriller.[39][41]
The film's press attracted the attention of British film distribution agent Stephen Woolley.[42][43] Though he considered the film a big risk, Woolley decided to take on the job of releasing the film in the United Kingdom.[44] The film was promoted in an unconventional manner for a film of its budget, receiving marketing on par with that of larger budget films.[41][45] Dozens of promotional pieces, including film posters and trailers, were showcased in the UK, heavy promotion rarely expended on such a low-budget film.[46] Woolley was impressed by Raimi, whom he called "charming", and was an admirer of the film, which led to his taking more risks with the film's promotion than he normally would have.[45][47]
Fangoria started covering the film in late 1982, writing several articles about the film's long production history.[48] Early critical reception at the time was very positive, and along with Fangoria, King, and Shapiro's approval, the film generated an impressive amount of interest before its commercial premiere.[41] New Line Cinema, one of the distributors interested in the film, negotiated an agreement to distribute it domestically.[35] The film had several "sneak previews" before its commercial release, including screenings in New York and Detroit. Audience reception at both screenings was widely enthusiastic, and interest was built for the film to such an extent that wider distribution was planned. New Line Cinema wrote Raimi a check large enough to pay off all the investors, and decided to release the film in a unique manner:[35] simultaneously into both cinemas and onto VHS, with substantial domestic promotion.[37]
Because of its large promotional campaign, the film performed above expectations at the box office.[37] It grossed a total of $2,400,000 worldwide, nearly eight times its production budget.[49] The initial domestic gross was described as "disappointing."[50] It opened in 15 theaters and grossed $108,000 in its opening weekend.[50] Word of mouth later spread, and the film became a "sleeper hit", making over $600,000 domestically and nearly $2,000,000 overseas.[50] In its first week of release in 1983 two years later, the film made £100,000 in the UK and quickly became that week's best-selling video release. It became the best-selling video in the country that year, out-grossing large-budget horror releases such as The Shining.[41] Its impressive European performance was chalked up to its heavy promotion there and the more open-minded nature of audiences.[50]
The film's release was met with controversy. Raimi made the film as gruesome as possible with neither interest in nor fear of censorship, which led to the film's receiving an X rating and being named a "video nasty".[51] Films with this label were quite violent and disturbing, and the title was often held by pornographic and other X-rated films.[51] While The Evil Dead was not pornographic in nature, it was considered one of the most violent films of its time, and censors had issues with the film's content, which impacted some of its commercial potential.[50][52] The film was called the "number one nasty" in a nod to its status as both a nasty and the year's best-selling video release.[43][53] Writer Bruce Kawin described The Evil Dead as one of the most notorious splatter films of its day, along with Cannibal Holocaust and I Spit on Your Grave.[31][54] The film was banned either theatrically or on video in some countries.[55][56]
The first VHS release of The Evil Dead was by Thorn EMI in 1983, and Thorn's successor company HBO/Cannon Video later repackaged the film. Congress Video, a company notable for public-domain films, issued their version in 1989.[57][58]
The resurgence of The Evil Dead in the home-video market came through two companies that restored the film from its negatives and issued special editions in 1998: Anchor Bay Entertainment on VHS, and Elite Entertainment on laserdisc. Anchor Bay was responsible for the film's first DVD release in 1999, and between them, Elite and Anchor Bay have released six different DVD versions of The Evil Dead, most notably a 2002 "Book Of The Dead" edition, packaged in a latex replica of the Necronomicon sculpted by Tom Sullivan.[59] The film's high-definition debut was in a 2010 Blu-ray.[60]
Upon its release, contemporary critical opinion was mostly positive.[35] Bob Martin, editor of Fangoria, reviewed the film before its formal premiere and proclaimed that it "might be the exception to the usual run of low-budget horror films".[48] The Los Angeles Times called the film an "instant classic", proclaiming it as "probably the grisliest well-made movie ever."[41][61] In a 1982 review, staff from the trade magazine Variety wrote that the film "emerges as the ne plus ultra of low-budget gore and shock effect", commenting that the "powerful" and inventive camerawork was key to creating a sense of dread.[62]
British press for the film was positive; Kim Newman of Monthly Film Bulletin, Richard Cook of NME, and Julian Petley of Film and Filming all gave the film good reviews during its early release.[61] Petley and Cook compared the film to other contemporary horror films, writing that the film expressed more imagination and "youthful enthusiasm" than an average horror film.[61] Cook described the camera work by Raimi as "audacious", stating that the film's visceral nature was greatly helped by the style of direction.[61] Woolley, Newman, and several critics complimented the film for its unexpected use of black comedy, which elevated the film above its genre's potential trappings.[61] All three critics compared the film to the surrealistic work of Georges Franju and Jean Cocteau, noting the cinephilic references to Cocteau's film Orpheus.[61] Writer Lynn Schofield Clark in his novel From Angels to Aliens compared the film to better-known horror films such as The Exorcist and The Omen, citing it as a key supernatural thriller.[63]
The film continues to receive universal acclaim from modern critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 98% approval rating with an average rating of 8/10, based on an aggregation of 53 reviews. It summarized the film: "This classic low budget horror film combines just the right amount of gore and black humor, giving The Evil Dead an equal amount of thrills and laughs."[64] Empire magazine stated the film's "reputation was deserved", writing that the film was impressive considering its low budget and the cast's inexperienced nature. He commented that the film successfully blended the "bizarre" combination of Night of the Living Dead, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Three Stooges.[65] A reviewer for Film4 rated The Evil Dead four-and-a-half stars out of five, musing that the film was "energetic, original and icky" and concluding that Raimi's "splat-stick debut is a tight little horror classic that deserves its cult reputation, despite the best efforts of the censors."[66]
Slant Magazine's Ed Gonzales compared the film to Dario Argento's work, citing Raimi's "unnerving wide angle work" as an important factor to the film's atmosphere. He mused that Raimi possessed an "almost unreal ability to suggest the presence of intangible evil", which was what prevented the movie from being "B-movie schlock".[67] BBC critic Martyn Glanville awarded the film four stars out of five, writing that for Raimi, it served as a better debut film than Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left. Glanville noted that other than the "ill-advised trees-that-rape scene", the film is "one of the great modern horror films, an even more impressive when one considers its modest production values."[68]
Filmcritic.com's Christopher Null gave the film the same rating as Glanville, writing that "Raimi's biggest grossout is schlock horror done the right way" and comparing it to Romero's Night of the Living Dead in its ability to create stark atmosphere.[69] Chicago Reader writer Pat Graham commented that the film featured several "clever" turns on the standard horror formula, adding that Raimi's "anything-for-an-effect enthusiasm pays off in lots of formally inventive bits."[70] The make-up effects in one of the final scenes was called "amazing" by Time Out critic Stephen Garrett, who commented that although the film was light on character development, the "relentless" barrage of violent imagery made for an entertaining film.[71] The same site later cited the film as the 41st greatest horror movie ever made.[72] Phelim O'Neill of The Guardian combined The Evil Dead and its sequel Evil Dead II and listed them as the 23rd best horror film ever made, announcing that the former film "stands above its mostly forgotten peers in the 80s horror boom."[73] Complex Magazine composed a list of the twenty-five best horror movies available on Netflix, listing The Evil Dead at No. 21.[74] Don Summer, in his book Horror Movie Freak, and writer Kate Egan have both cited the film as a horror classic.[50][75]
J.C. Maçek III of PopMatters said, "What is unquestionable is that the Raimis and their pals created a monster in The Evil Dead. It started as a disastrous failure to obtain a big break with a too long, too perilous shoot (note Campbell's changing hairstyle in the various scenes of the one-day plot). The film went through name changes and bannings only to survive as not only 'the ultimate experience in grueling horror' but as an oft-imitated and cashed-in-on classic, with 30 years of positive reviews to prove it."[76]
While The Evil Dead received a favorable critical opinion back when it was initially released, it failed to be established as a cultural standing.[61] It was, however, a box-office success, which led to Campbell and Raimi teaming up again for the release of another movie.[77] Joel Coen and his brother Ethan had collaborated as directors and released the film Blood Simple, to critical acclaim.[78] According to Campbell, Ethan, then an accountant, expressed surprise when the duo succeeded.[77] The Coen brothers and Raimi collaborated on a screenplay, which was released shortly after The Evil Dead. The film, Crimewave, was a box-office failure.[77] The film's production was a "disaster" according to Campbell, who stated that "missteps" like Crimewave usually lead to the end of a director's career.[79] Other people involved with the film expressed similar disappointment with the project.[77][80] Fortunately, Raimi had the studio support to make a sequel to The Evil Dead, which he initially decided to make out of desperation.[79]
Evil Dead II was filmed and released in 1987, and was also a box-office success.[81] A second, and currently final, sequel was released in 1993, Army of Darkness.[82] Campbell returned as the lead character Ash Williams in both films.[83][84] At that time, Raimi had become a successful director, attracting Hollywood's interest.[83] His 1990 superhero film Darkman was another box-office success, which led to an increased budget for Army of Darkness.[84][85][86] Army of Darkness had 22.8 times the budget of the original Evil Dead, though it was not considered to be a box-office success like its two predecessors.[83][87] Evil Dead II received general acclaim from critics and is often considered to be better than the original, and Army of Darkness received mostly positive reviews.[84] The series has often attracted attention because each sequel featured more comedic qualities than the last, progressing into "weirder" territory with each film.[84]
Unofficial sequels were also made in Italy—where the film was known as La Casa ("The House")—by Joe D'Amato's Filmirage. In 1988, D'Amato produced two films labeled as sequels to Evil Dead II, Umberto Lenzi's Ghosthouse (La Casa 3), and Witchery (La Casa 4), starring Linda Blair and David Hasselhoff. In 1990, D'Amato produced his final La Casa film, Beyond Darkness (La Casa 5).[76][88] House II was reissued in Italy as La Casa 6, and The Horror Show was then released in Italy as La Casa 7.[76]
The Evil Dead and its sequels have become one of the largest cult film trilogies in history.[50][89][90] David Lavery, in his novel The Essential Cult TV Reader, surmised that Campbell's "career is a practical guide to becoming a cult idol".[90] The film launched the careers of Raimi and Campbell, who have since collaborated frequently.[91] Raimi has worked with Campbell in virtually all of his films since, and Campbell has appeared in cameo roles in all three of Raimi's Spider-Man films,[91] which have become some of the highest-grossing films in history.[91][92] Though it has often been considered an odd choice for Raimi—a director known for his violent horror films—to direct a family-friendly franchise, the hiring was mostly inspired by Raimi's passion for the comic books as a kid.[91][93] Raimi returned to the horror-comedy genre in 2009 with Drag Me to Hell.[94]
Critics have often compared Campbell's later performances to his role in Evil Dead, which has been called his defining role.[95][96] Campbell's performance as Ash has been compared to roles ranging from his performance of Elvis Presley in the film Bubba Ho-tep to the bigamous demon in the The X-Files episode "Terms of Endearment".[97][98] Campbell's fan base gradually developed after the release of Evil Dead II and his short-lived series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr..[99] He is a regular favorite at most fan conventions and often draws sold-out auditoriums at his public appearances.[100] The Evil Dead developed a substantial cult following throughout the years, and has often been cited as a defining cult classic.[50][99]
The Evil Dead has spawned a media franchise. A video game adaptation of the same name was for the Commodore 64 in 1984, as was a trilogy of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games in the 1990s: Evil Dead: Hail to the King, Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick and Evil Dead: Regeneration.[101] Ted Raimi did voices for the trilogy, and Campbell returned as the voice of Ash. The character Ash became the main character of a comic book franchise.[102] Ash has fought both Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees in the Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash series, Herbert West in Army of Darkness vs. Re-Animator, zombie versions of the Marvel Comics superhero team Avengers in Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness, and has even saved the life of a fictional Barack Obama in Army of Darkness: Ash Saves Obama.[103][104] In January 2008, Dark Horse Comics began releasing a four-part monthly comic book mini-series, written by Mark Verheiden and drawn by John Bolton, based on The Evil Dead.[105]
In addition, the film has inspired a stage musical, Evil Dead: The Musical, which was produced with the permission of Raimi and Campbell. The musical has run on and off since its inception in 2003.[106] A remake of the film was released in 2013, directed by Fede Alvarez and produced by Raimi and Campbell. It features actress Jane Levy as the main character, with Ash not appearing.[107][108] Campbell does make a brief, uncredited cameo appearance at the end of the film in a short post-credits scene.[109]
