The fifth installment of the Evil Dead series, Evil Dead Rise, will continue its long tradition of being extremely gory.

In a recent interview, director Lee Cronin spoke about his next action, The Evil Dead. He didn’t leave any information, but noted that there’s a ton of blood on the franchise.

It attaches you to a rocket, fueled by blood, says Cronin jokingly. They either can get off or stay on til it explodes.

Cronin talked more thoroughly about the amount of fake blood used in the film, saying that he repossessed almost six thousand liters of it (1,700 gallons) and that it made it home with him after days of production.

I had to hire an industrial kitchen to generate the amount of blood we needed when I was working, I had to warn the landlord, You’ll find all my bloody handprints in your apartment, but they are not real, honest!
