Note: Continuing the podcast's month-long tribute to Halloween and Horror films, Tysto returns to revel in the surprisingly great remake of an American Horror classic. We discuss the Evil Dead franchise, finding the value in remakes, injecting purpose and thematic resonance into the narrative, character arcs and fighting physical demons as a metaphor for personal ones.
