“Gimme some sugar, baby!”

Join us at the Rio Theatre on Friday, January 23 to for back-to-back screenings of one of our favourite franchises with one of our most requested movie marathon events – Sam Raimi‘s glorious EVIL DEAD trilogy.

Horror icon Bruce Campbell (so groovy, baby!) stars in this much loved series that includes THE EVIL DEAD, EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN and ARMY OF DARKNESS (aka, “The Medieval Dead”).

See one film, or see them all for one groovy price!

Costumes welcome – and encouraged! (Show us what you’ve got, kid.) All seating is General Admission and first come, first served. We anticipate a busy night, so we recommend coming early for great seats!

The final entry in Raimi’s original trilogy, ARMY OF DARKNESS, is a staple offering on any respectable midnight movie marquee. This cult-classic horror comedy finds intrepid hero Ash (aka, “groovy” Bruce Campbell) trapped in medieval times. He must quest for the Necronomicon, a book of evil which can return him to his time. Unfortunately, he releases the evil trapped inside the book, and unleashes an army of the dead.

“The movie’s insistence on pushing horror to the side in favor of sheer goofiness was a risk, though, and perhaps that’s why Army of Darkness is more of a cult classic.” (Polygon)
