Evil Dead 2’s increased special effects and slapstick-gore makes it as good — if not better — than the original. [1]

If you know it’s all special effects, and if you’ve seen a lot of other movies and have a sense of humor, you might have a great time at Evil Dead 2. [2]

Evil Dead II (also known as Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) is a 1987 American cult horror film and the second installment of the Evil Dead film trilogy. [3]

Evil dead 2 is my favorite out of the series, Bruce Campbell as Ash is awesome. [4]

Sam Raimi was able to inject a little comedy into ED2, fusing it with horror to come up with a deadly mixture. [6]

According to Deadline Sam Raimi is set to direct the Day of the Triffids remake. [5]

The films focus on the protagonist, Ashley “Ash” J. Williams, who is played by Bruce Campbell. [8]

It was directed by Sam Raimi, written by Raimi and Scott Spiegel, produced by Rob Tapert and starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams. [3]

The gaudily gory, virtuoso, hyper-kinetic horror sequel/remake uses every trick in the cinematic book, and confirms that Bruce Campbell and Raimi are gods. [1]

But don’t worry, Bruce Campbell will be on hand. [4]

Just as Ash is preparing to leave, the last remaining demonic spirits rocket him through the woods in a very comical scene. [6]

With the acceptance of Christianity, the dates of the pre-Christian festivals were used as occasions for church feast and holy days. [...] The Celts of modern-day Ireland and the UK two and a half millennia ago braced themselves for winter with this festival, which is pronounced “sowen,” literally means “summer’s end” and falls on November 1. [...] October 31, celebrated in the United States, Canada, and the British Isles by children going door to door while wearing costumes and begging treats and playing pranks. [...] Bobbing for apples on Halloween (the time of the apple harvest) may have been inspired by the Celtic fables about heroes who journeyed across water seeking the magical apple tree on the mythical isle of Avalon. [2]

The celebration of Halloween survived most strongly in Ireland. [4]

Another common practice was divination, which often involved the use of food and drink. [...] In traditional Celtic Halloween festivals, large turnips were hollowed out, carved with faces, and placed in windows to ward off evil spirits. [...] It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holiday All Saints’ Day, but is today largely a secular celebration. [1]

From the evidence, we know that Samhain was a focal point of the yearly cycle, and that traditions of leaving out offerings of food and drink to comfort the wandering spirits had joined the bonfire custom. [2]
