"It’s a blood-splattered story that features decapitations, demonic possessions and a man sawing off his own hand… and it could be the feelgood hit of the summer."
★★★

★★★★

The Elvis Dead is the most fun I've had at an #EdFringe show in 20 years. Awesome. It's on at Monkey Barrel at Midnight. Only a fiver

Another sign of how great "Elvis Dead" was; we all queued up for photos afterwards. I heartily recommend it. pic.twitter.com/a2Zlj5eYOR

Today's @edfringe recommendation: "Elvis Dead", an insane and brilliant show, where Elvis sings the movie Evil Dead 2. Yep. On at Midnight.

#EdFringe recommendations after one day: the Elvis Dead and Prom Kween. Two very fantastic, but very different, musicals. Ten stars! pic.twitter.com/w8Xp9UhQpH

Late night #EdFringe17 daftness - Rob Kemp: The Elvis Dead. Can Evil Dead 2 be retold though Elvis songs? Yes, surprisingly. Great fun!
