One of the most requested movies for Blu-ray from Anchor Bay Entertainment’s library of horror films, Sam Raimi’s (Spider-Man) 1981 cult classic The Evil Dead made its high-definition debut on Aug. 31, 2010.

For the Blu-ray release, two new 1080p anamorphic transfers in 1.85 and the original director-composed 1.33 aspect ratio were prepared and supervised by director/writer Raimi. They will be presented in high-resolution Dolby TrueHD 5.1 audio, along with a brand new commentary track with Raimi, producer Robert Tapert (Spartacus: Gods of the Arena) and star Bruce “Ash” Campbell.

In addition, many of the bonus features released on previous DVD editions are available on a limited edition bonus DVD included with the Blu-ray. The suggested retail price is $29.99.

The DVD bonus disc contains the following bonus features, many returning for the first time in years:

  • “One By One We Will Take You: The Untold Saga of The Evil Dead”
  • “The Evil Dead: Treasures From the Cutting Room Floor”
  • “The Ladies of The Evil Dead Meet Bruce Campbell”
