about

The original 1981 Evil Dead scared the shit outta me when I first watched it with my dad when I was in grade school. So much so, we turned it off after the first demon possession & I slept in his bed with the light on that night. I watched it again years later & it became my favorite horror movie. The song is a pretty faithful retelling of the story, mixed with some nice angsty metaphors for stifling emotions ("we locked them in the cellar / they tore us apart"). I wrote it freshman year & the end chant ("no one makes it out alive") probably symbolized my zest for existentialism, my first philosophy class. (I went on to major in it.)

Thanks SO MUCH to my lovely wife for her beautiful cover. This is her first solo material & she freaking NAILED it. I cried when I first heard it.

lyrics

two hands on the wheel
monster in the woods watched from the hill

the tennessee border called me
all your best friends sitting in the seats
brother and a sister
got lovers in heat
they're appalled when you lose control

but now we're back on track
waving at the passerby
don't know why we can't go back

oh ashley
lovely is the ring you bought me
from a machine outside the grocery
your eyes squeezed shut
you keep stealing glances at me
now the bad dreams begin

front porch swinging
get out

you locked them in the cellar
they tore us apart
a chainsaw remedy vs. your broken heart

not another peep,
time to go to sleep

all these years they're back again
eyes rolled back inside their heads
these monsters these demons

they are us and we are them
it's never gonna be the same again
these zombies these evil dead

no one makes it out alive
