Scott Spiegel

And I'm talking about Intruder from 1989.

This movie was written and directed by a guy named Scott Spiegel.

And it's about an hour and 23 minutes long.

So it's a quick watch.

So of course, this is all going to happen under a full moon.

So we cut to this supermarket and it's going to be called Walnut Ranch Market.

And it's actually based on a real life market that the director and writer Scott Spiegel worked in that was called Walnut Lake.

I don't think this one's called Walnut Lake.

Right.

And it's, I mean, it takes some of the stuff it does in the first one and makes it sillier, like towards the end of the Evil Dead, when all the chaos is happening and like Ash is talking to perhaps dead Scott while the zombies are by the deadites are laughing at him.

And it's just this insanity.

They're like, well, what if we did that? But funny.

Yeah.

Also, Bobby Joe was initially they initially kind of wanted Holly Hunter for that role.

At the time, Sam Raimi and Scott Spiegel were living in a house with the Coen brothers, and frequently people would stay there like Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand, who ended up marrying Jill Cohen, but they were there.

But they originally wanted Holly Hunter, but according to one of the commentary tracks, I guess, Robert Taffert was like, nah, we gotta get a sexy lady for this, and so went with a different actress.

Director is Sam Raimi, A Simple Plan, Send Help.

Writers, Sam Raimi, Crime Wave, Scott Spiegel, RIP, The Rookie from 1990.

Director of photography, Peter Deming, The Menu, Mulholland Drive, and Scream 4.

Listen to our Scream 4 episode.

You, you were telling the truth.

Evil Dead II is a 1987 comedic horror film directed by Sam Raimi, who co-wrote it with Scott Spiegel.

The sequel to The Evil Dead from 1981 and the second installment in the Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead II stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, who vacations with his girlfriend to a remote cabin in the woods and unleashes demons that possess and torment him.

So after seeing The Evil Dead, Steven King took the idea for The Evil Dead II to producer Dino De Laurentiis, with whom he'd been making his directorial debut, Maximum Overdrive, which we've done here at the podcast.

Ah.

So movie written by Sam Raimi and Scott Spiegel.

Scott Spiegel, he was one of Sam Raimi's childhood friends.

He made a lot of the, like, Super 8 short films with him and all that shit.

Um, Spiegel's gone on to produce and direct and write shit on his own, but a lot of it is just straight-to-video, like, things-

Sometimes you don't know.

There was a scene towards the beginning of The Dead Next Door where the zombie officers played by Scott Spiegel goes upstairs in this farmhouse.

And I had the music basically from the time they came into the farmhouse.

You see blood at his feet.

Like, if you've worn out-

So you're talking about Scott Spiegel.

You're talking about-

Yeah, like-

The Nuthouse.

Thou shall not kill, except that is a, a Josh Becker film, who worked on The Evil Dead.

And like The Dead Next Door, it's Evil Dead extended universe as well because Scott Spiegel, the director of The Intruder, is in it.

And also Bruce Campbell voices the lead character.
