Evelyn: The Cutest Evil Dead Girl

Evelyn The Cutest Evil Dead Girl is a 2002 black comedy short film directed by Newfoundlander Brad Peyton. It stars Nadia Litz in the title role, and Joshua Close, and is narrated by Maurice Dean Wint. The film is sometimes called Evelyn The Cutest Evil Dead Girl Ever.

The film was inspired by Peytons aunt, who was named Evelyn and one day remarked that no characters are named Evelyn in great films. At the time, Peyton was attending the Canadian Film Centre, and the film was produced by the Universal Studios Short Dramatic Film Program. Peyton cowrote the film and acknowledged it was very, very Seussian and Tim Burtonish.Beyond the 16,000 needed to make the film, it had no budget for actors. Thus, Nadia Litz did not receive any money for her performance, saying she instead took the role because she liked the scene where she hangs from a rope. Close explained his acting approach to the film by saying, It was kind of a silent movie. I had to use Charlie Chaplin expressions and you have to be blunt. ........
