The Evil Dead
“I always knew he’d come back. In this town, Michael Myers is a myth. He’s the Boogeyman. A ghost story to scare kids. But this Boogeyman is real. An evil like his never stops, it just grows older. Darker. More determined. Forty years ago, he came to my home to kill. He killed my friends, and now he’s back to finish what he started, with me. The one person who’s ready to stop him.”

“The idea behind the glove was a practical one on Wes Craven’s part, as he wanted to give the character a unique weapon, but also something that could be made cheaply, and wouldn’t be difficult to use or transport. At the time he was studying primal fears embedded in the subconscious of people of all cultures, and discovered that one of those fears is attack by animal claws. Around the same time, he saw his cat unsheath its claws, and the two concepts merged.”

“I must interrupt the dance music for a moment. I have an urgent message from Police Headquarters. Early this evening we broadcast a report of an invisible man. The report has now been confirmed! It appears that an unknown man, by scientific means, has made himself invisible. He has attacked and killed a Police Inspector and is now at large. The Chief of Police appeals to the public for help and assistance. Those willing to cooperate in the search are requested to report tomorrow morning to their local station. The invisible man works without clothing, he will have to seek shelter. You’re requested to lock every door and window and every outbuilding he may use to hide in. The police will be glad to receive any suggestions that will help in capturing the fugitive. Remember he’s solid but cannot be seen. A reward of one thousand pounds will be given to any person whose information leads to his capture. The police appeal to the public to keep calm and to admit uniformed search parties to all property.”
