Steps in the Dark celebrates its fifth anniversary with its traditional Halloween special screening. This year, the honour falls to Sam Raimi's modern classic, ‘Evil Dead 2’, which breathed new life into the horror comedy and showed how there was still room for invention in the genre's cinematic language.

No, you don't have to see the first ‘The Evil Dead’ to catch up on the action. ‘Evil Dead 2’ serves as both a remake and sequel to the first film, also directed by Sam Raimi when he was just 22 years old. In it, we are introduced to Ash, the iconic anti-hero played by Bruce Campbell, who sees his life transformed into a living hell after unleashing an evil force trapped in the mythical book Necronomicon. Strongly inspired by the slapstick comedies of the 1930s and 1940s, it is also full of colourful fluids and iconic imagery that endures almost 40 years later. We dare say it will be the perfect entertainment experience for Halloween night.

As usual, the AGFA (American Genre Film Archive) has also prepared a selection of vintage trailers, recovered from the original negatives, which will be shown before the film. To get into the spirit of the time. We'd like to remind you that Passos Manuel has a bar, which we highly recommend you use.
