Hail to the Deadites Official poster (design by Filip Ivanovic)

The Evil Dead movie franchise is one of the most popular horror franchises ever. Despite being released initially back in 1981, its cult following and legions of fans continue to grow. Fans of the Ash vs Evil Dead movie TV series struggled when news broke that there was going to be no season 4. But fear not! This staple within the pop-culture set as well as those who loved it first can all rise with news of a documentary. Made for the fans, Hail to the Deadites is physical media, done right. Unsurprisingly, this undead movie fans documentary feature film had a successful screening at the Fantasia Film Festival and Frightfest in August 2020.

In September 2020, the title was acquired by Indiecan Entertainment. Raven Banner Entertainment is handling international sales. The films’ director Steve Villeneuve will be working alongside Raven Banner Entertainment for some collaborative films in the future as well;

I’m extremely excited about starting a working relationship with Steve Villeneuve both on the distribution side and also starting a collaboration of making some cool documentary films together.
