Cool Horror Videos: Sam Raimi’s 1978 short, Within The Woods!

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Here’s a must-watch for any horror fanatic: the 1978 short film that inspired EVIL DEAD, WITHIN THE WOODS! Featuring EVIL DEAD stars Bruce Campbell and Ellen Sandweiss (as well as future Raimi producer Scott Spiegel), the short was made to inspire investors to give Sam Raimi and company some dough to make a feature length version. The rest is horror history.

The quality of the video is not high, but you’ll have to deal. Besides, it wouldn’t necessarily feel right if it looked gorgeous, would it?
