Cult classic horror movie Evil Dead 2 reinterpreted through the songs of Elvis.
Elvis Presley is the quintessential rock star icon. Bruce Campbell is the quintessential B-movie horror icon (and once appeared as Elvis in the soul-stealing mummy movie Bubba Ho-Tep). Rob Kemp is not an icon as far as he knows, but he does love Elvis and horror, and has been told that he bears a passing resemblance to Bruce Campbell.
The Elvis Dead started as a throwaway comment in a comedy greenroom and is the very definition of taking a joke too far. So don your sequinned jumpsuit, strap a camera to a greased-up two-by-four and sing your way through as much of the plot of Evil Dead 2 as you can in an hour.
The cult hit of Edinburgh Fringe, this multi-award-winning (and even multier-award-nominated) one man horror comedy mash-up, is a tribute concert to the ultimate in gruelling terror, and the King of Rock & Roll!
