Join Cinema I/O, Little Rock’s “nomadic, non-profit microcinema,” for a special showing of Sam Raimi’s cult classic and directorial debut “The Evil Dead” (1981) in partnership with Madame Mae’s Horror Frights, a traveling group based in Wichita, Kansas, that programs all sorts of eccentric activities alongside beloved horror films. 

Word on the street is that Saturday’s event at 420 Byrd St. will include offerings as varied and far-fetched as “slasher jeopardy,” a costume contest and a drag performance from FaeTality KO Kotoure. Comedian and “‘Evil Dead’ connoisseur” Katie Gette will also play a part in the madness.  

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the screening starts at 7. You can find tickets and more info here.
