Groovy! One of our favorite movies of all time Sam Raimi's THE EVIL DEAD is headed back to where it belongs, in front of hundreds of people in a jam packed theater. The only hitch is this is not a nationwide release, at least not yet! Yes we do have another 'You Demand It' campaign in the works here...

Not only do we get to see Bruce Campbell back as Ash but Grindhouse Releasing has created a brand new full color poster featuring the chinned one himself. (SEE BELOW)

From Grindhouse Releasing:

Landmark Theatres will present the director's 35mm print of EVIL DEAD at special midnight shows in Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, New York, Houston, Dallas, and Los Angeles in the first quarter of 2010.

Grindhouse Releasing has created a new full-color movie poster for the theatrical reissue of the 1981 horror classic. Designed by Tad Leger, the collectible one-sheet features rare photos from the original EVIL DEAD movie poster shoot by Mike Ditz.

“We've had tremendous response to our announcement that EVIL DEAD has returned,” says David Szulkin, head of theatrical bookings for Grindhouse Releasing. “We want to show it in as many cities as we can, and encourage fans to contact us and petition their local theater to screen the movie.”

Endorsed by Raimi, producer Rob Tapert, and star/co-producer Bruce Campbell, Grindhouse Releasing's reissue of EVIL DEAD will hit theaters across North America in the coming year.

More cities will be announced as they are confirmed. The first dates and venues are as follows:

January 8-9: Uptown Theater, Minneapolis

January 15-16: Esquire Theater, Denver

January 29-30: Sunshine Cinema, New York

February 5-6: Egyptian Theater, Seattle
