The two had been friends since their days at Wylie E. Groves High School in Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The plot, for the uninitiated, centers on five college students who take a vacation at an isolated cabin in the woods, where they find an audiotape that, when played, releases a host of demons. Four members of the group become possessed by demons, forcing the fifth member (Campbell), to survive an onslaught of gory mayhem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The film, made on a shoestring budget, launched a franchise that includes four movie sequels and spin-offs (a fifth is expected in summer 2026), a TV series, comic books, video games and a stage musical.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Redford will be showing a 35mm print of the movie. Admission is $7 adults, $5 seniors. The theater is at 17360 Lahser Road in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>This article originally appeared on Detroit Free Press: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/entertainment\/movies\/2025\/10\/29\/evil-dead-detroit-redford-theatre-halloween\/86946417007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:'The Evil Dead' returns to Detroit's Redford Theatre for Halloween;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8216;The Evil Dead&#8217; returns to Detroit&#8217;s Redford Theatre for Halloween<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s as much a part of Halloween in metro Detroit as Devil&#8217;s Night, M&amp;M&#8217;s and Pontiac&#8217;s Erebus Haunted Attraction. &#8220;The Evil Dead,&#8221; the cult horror movie classic directed by a very young Sam Raimi (the &#8220;Spider-Man&#8221; franchise) returns to the Redford Theater on Friday, Oct. 31, for a Halloween night screening at 8 p.m. The [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2122545,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[382486,403035,403033,403036,321792,307320,403034,403032,310323,394596],"class_list":["post-2122544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-bruce-campbell","tag-devils-night","tag-erebus-haunted-attraction","tag-halloween-night-screening","tag-horror-movie","tag-metro-detroit","tag-pontiac","tag-redford-theater","tag-sam-raimi","tag-the-evil-dead"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/The-Evil-Dead-a-Detroit-horror-movie-classic-returns-to.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2122544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2122544"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2122544\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2122546,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2122544\/revisions\/2122546"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2122545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2122544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2122544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2122544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
