Experience Sam Raimi's beloved cult classic film like never before, with Joe LoDuca's iconic score performed live on stage.
Audiences are invited to the ultimate horror movie concert experience as The Evil Dead is presented on a large HD cinema screen. On stage, a live orchestral ensemble will perform the spine-tingling score from award-winning TV and film composer Joe LoDuca.
“The ultimate horror movie concert experience has arrived with a night of cinematic chaos, demonic energy, and killer sounds,” said John Kinsner, CEO of Black Ink Presents, the producer of “Evil Dead In Concert.” Kinsner, a fellow horror enthusiast and fan of the film franchise, added, “It’s not every day you get to watch someone chainsaw a demon while a live ensemble performs.”
Evil Dead follows five college students on vacation in an isolated cabin in the woods, where they unwittingly release absolute evil into the world and have to fight to survive. It is known as one of the most significant cult horror films of all time and has generated a massive following worldwide since the film’s theatrical release on Oct. 15, 1981. LoDuca’s score is orchestral but experimental, blending eerie strings, pounding percussion, and screeching sound effects to emphasize dread and supernatural chaos.
“I am so excited for audiences around the country to join us on an intense, aural descent into hell with this beautiful score and all its madness,” said LoDuca, who began his film career by composing the iconic score for director Raimi. Remarkably, it was his first film score. Following the success of Evil Dead, he became a frequent collaborator with Raimi and went on to win multiple Emmys for his scoring work. Most recently, he released a reimagined version of the original Evil Dead score called “Evil Dead: A Nightmare Reimagined,” where he re-recorded and expanded on the original musical themes of the movie.
Black Ink Presents is known for its extensive history of breathing new life into iconic films with symphonies, orchestras, or bands live on stage, including Labyrinth, Batman, Ghostbusters, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Rocketman, La La Land, and more.
The 50-city North American tour launches September 22, and includes a performance in Orlando.
