Earlier this year, Bruce Campbell hosted a virtual screening of the original The Evil Dead, with the event being so successful that he is partnering with Watch With again for a similar screening for Evil Dead 2 on April 24th. With in-person events and screenings still largely on hold around the world, virtual screenings are about as close as we can get to recreating those experiences, with Watch With adding new excitement to the festivities by adding opportunities to have personal Zoom conversations with Campbell, replicating the standard “meet and greet” exchanges that coincide with most in-person events. You can head to the official event page to sign up before the screening on April 24th.

The event is described, “Have you ever dreamed of watching your favorite movie with the star from that flick? Now is your chance to hand over the remote control to the stars and let them guide you through your faves like you have never experienced it before. Join the celebrity watch party and relive the movie through the eyes of the star – pausing the action to explain scenes, tell unknown stories about the action, or provide funny tidbits of trivia… straight from the source.
