A Whole New Genre
Fans of the "splatstick" horror genre that The Evil Dead falls into can be grateful for the Stooges, weirdly enough. The gore, horror, and comedy film turned into a cult classic, just like the Stooges! The entire franchise consists of three movies, video games, comic books, and a TV series.
Horror Influencers
A lot of comedians (well, back in the day) would credit the Stooges as influencers in their craft, but did you know that some horror genres were inspired by their work, too? Famous filmmaker Sam Raimi used his love for the Stooges to inspire The Evil Dead franchise.
