The Evil Dead

Evil Dead (1981): Tubi, Paramount+, Prime; Evil Dead 2: Max, Hulu

Everyone knows that when you have a cabin in the woods, the best activity isn’t roasting s’mores or reading on the porch. Nah, you gotta summon some demons with a forbidden chant. Now that’s country living.

The Evil Dead franchise also gave us the glorious Ash Williams. Equal parts brave and hilarious, he’s the hero you need when the forces of darkness won’t back down. Somebody rev up that chainsaw!

Darkman

Darkman: Peacock

Every vigilante has a past, an origin story that pushes them over the edge. In Darkman, Dr. Peyton Westlake is the victim of a brutal attack from a corrupt mobster. Following his run-in with acid, Westlake must use his own scientific procedure to restore his face.

However, the side effects include not only superhuman abilities but also deteriorating mental health. Darkman combines the fiery excitement of comic books with the allure of a noir crime drama. Plus, Raimi’s story is an ode to the classic Universal Monsters. There’s something for everybody!

The Grudge

The Grudge: Tubi

Japanese horror is a level of scary all its own. With the success of The Ring two years earlier, another supernatural Japanese franchise was set to be adapted in 2004: The Grudge.

With Sam Raimi as executive producer, this adaptation of Takashi Shimizu’s Ju-On films was extremely successful. Not only did it break records at the box office but the tale of a ghostly curse being passed on is a staple for horror fans every year.

Spider-Man

Spider-Man trilogy: Disney+

Before MCU continuity was even a thing, Sam Raimi’s award-winning, record-breaking Spider-Man trilogy spun new life into the super hero genre. Not only did Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst capture Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s endearing romance, but seeing Spidey swing through NYC never loses its excitement.

Plus, some of Spider-Man’s most notorious arch-enemies made big splashes as well. In fact, Spider-Man 2 with Doc Ock is considered to be one of the greatest super hero films. And no matter how you feel about Venom’s first on-screen foray in Spider-Man 3, you can’t deny that Peter’s symbiote strut down the sidewalk is legendary.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Disney+

As the MCU grew in scope and variety, Marvel began to experiment with new styles. So who better than Sam Raimi to bring a twinge of horror into a story of multiversal mayhem?

For Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Raimi’s vision combined the psychedelic sorcery of Doctor Strange with unexpected, chaotic horror courtesy of the Scarlet Witch. The result is an MCU adventure that has plenty of laughs, high stakes, a lot of heart, and moments of absolute terror.
