New Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn Blu-ray to hit stores in November!

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Listen up you primitive screwheads! A very brief blurb here for you EVIL DEAD fanatics: Lionsgate Home Entertainment is planning a NOVEMBER 15th release for the new EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN Blu-ray, a 25th Anniversary Special Edition. Pretty cool, right?

Unfortunately, there are no details on the special features just yet, but word has it that new commentaries have been recorded and the transfer will be a significant upgrade from the original Anchor Bay Blu-ray of the title. I’m guessing a full list of the supplemental features and the artwork will be forthcoming.

The synopsis (as if you need it): Ash (Bruce Campbell), the sole survivor of “The Evil Dead,” continues his struggle with the forces of the dead, with his girlfriend Linda. The two discover a mysterious tape recorder and hear the voice of Professor Knoby reciting passages from the Necronomicon, or Book of the Dead. Little do they know that the professor’s words are powerful enough to invoke a spell that unleashes the spirit of evil alive in the remote forest surrounding them. Watch in terror as the plot sickens and the supernatural demons invade the cabin on a gory crusade for human victims. In desperation, Ash attempts to escape his horrific fate by battling with the gruesome ghouls with the help of some unexpected visitors. However, he discovers that he is no match for the unspeakable creatures lurking behind every door, and waiting beyond every corner.

Keep it tuned here as we work to find out more about this release. As soon we get more info, we’ll pass it along!
