Sam Raimi's Within the Woods Streaming Free

[X-human]

Dread Central has apparently been given access and permission to stream Within the Woods for free on their website:

As you may or may not know, in 1978 director Sam Raimi made a little movie called Within the Woods that would go on to be the inspiration for the 1981 horror classic The Evil Dead. Thought lost and unavailable for quite some time, you can now watch the flick in its entirety right here!

Within the Woods stars Evil Dead staples Bruce Campbell and Ellen Sandweiss along with Evil Dead producer Scott Spiegel. The film was originally made to sell investors on funding a feature-length version. Yes, the quality is sketchy at best, but believe us when we tell you that having a chance to see this little sliver of cinematic history is worth the half hour of eye strain.

An interesting way to drum up word of mouth on the remake. My understanding is that it wasn't original included as an extra because they couldn't clear the music rights.

I've only seen a little bit but it looks better than anything else I've seen of it.

I have viewed Within The Woods over 10 times, and I love it. The ending with Scott Spiegel was used in Evil Dead, and "Join Us." It was also used for trying out Special Effects.
