Check out this cool poster art for Sam Raimi’s classic 1987 horror-comedy film Evil Dead 2. The poster was created by artist Mark W. Richards for Hero Complex Gallery.
The film is a sequel/remake of The Evil Dead. The film follows Ash Williams, played by Bruce Campbell, as he returns to the same remote cabin in the woods, where he once again faces an onslaught of demonic forces unleashed by the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead.
After the evil spirits possess his girlfriend Linda and the other guests, Ash is forced to fight for his survival. The movie blends over-the-top gore and slapstick comedy, with Ash’s iconic chainsaw-wielding battle against the relentless Deadites taking center stage.
What sets Evil Dead 2 apart is its unique tone, balancing absurd humor with horror elements. As the film progresses, Ash slowly descends into madness, fending off not just the demons but also his own deteriorating sanity.
These films are famous for their frenetic camera work, inventive practical effects, and Campbell’s physical comedy.
The combination of blood-soaked horror, dark humor, and surreal, grotesque imagery solidified Evil Dead 2 as a pivotal influence in the horror genre, setting the stage for Ash’s further adventures in Army of Darkness and beyond.
The 18×24 print can be ordered here for $50. It’s a limited edition of only 75 prints.
