IN THIS EPISODE…

We’re staring into the abyss of 1981’s The Evil Dead to see what will gaze back. We’re kicking off our Evil Dead April series with the independent film that kicked everything off and became an inspiration for independent filmmakers everywhere. Sam Mason Bell, writer-director behind Home Is Where I Lay, joins us to discuss the filming process of his latest project, the lasting effects of religious trauma, the mental health behind the Raimi classic and more!
