- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEllen SandweissRichard DeManincorFive friends travel to a cabin in the woods, where they unknowingly release flesh-possessing demons."...The most ferouciously original horror film of the year..." — Stephen King
All three "Evil Dead" films can be seamlessly cut together (which has been done by fans), though some introductory footage in the sequels is lost, and there are several narrative and visual inconsistencies throughout.
At the end of a 'normal' day of shooting, Bruce Campbell would return home in the back of a pickup truck because he was covered in fake blood from head to toe.
Interview with Director Sam Raimi on Evil Dead 1982 - (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1nFTrBIAkI&ab_channel=NataliaSilber). - DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellSarah BerryDan HicksAsh Williams, the lone survivor of an earlier onslaught of flesh-possessing spirits, holes up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack.Stephen King was such a huge fan of The Evil Dead (1981) that he convinced producer Dino De Laurentiis over dinner (who was producing King's Maximum Overdrive (1986) at the time) to have his production company DEG (De Laurentiis Entertainment Group) finance Evil Dead II (1987).
- DirectorSam RaimiStarsBruce CampbellEmbeth DavidtzMarcus GilbertWhen Ash Williams is accidentally transported to 1300 A.D., he must retrieve the Necronomicon and battle an army of the dead in order to return home.Bruce Campbell says that in order to make it appear that the chainsaw was always running, tobacco smoke was pumped through a tube that was slid up his right pant leg, up his shirt, and into the chainsaw.
Released in Japan as "Captain Supermarket". - DirectorBruce CampbellStarsBruce CampbellGrace ThorsenTaylor SharpeMistaken for his character Ash from the 'Evil Dead' trilogy, Bruce Campbell is forced to fight a real monster in a small Oregon town.I'm putting this one here because it seems to me like some of this was actually adapted into Ash vs Evil Dead (2015) that Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Rob Tapert produced.
- DirectorDrew GoddardStarsKristen ConnollyChris HemsworthAnna HutchisonFive college friends head out to a remote cabin for a getaway, but things don't go as planned when they start getting killed. They soon discover that there is more to the cabin than it seems.The Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a meta-horror film about all horror films, it actually fits as a direct sequel to The Evil Dead (1981). They are simply too perfectly matched for them not to be somehow connected but this is just a theory, you can look it up on reddit. The title itself is a reference to The Evil Dead (1981), which follows a group of friends staying at a cabin in the woods. The name "Deadites" can be see on a white board and another reference that pays homage to Evil Dead is a scene in which one of the characters is sexually assaulted by a tree. The characters also inadvertently summon the zombies using a diary filled with Latin phrases, very similar to "Evil Dead's" Necronomicon.
- DirectorFede AlvarezStarsJane LevyShiloh FernandezJessica LucasFive friends head to a remote cabin, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads them to unwittingly summon up demons living in the nearby woods.Part sequel, part remake. Bruce Campbell cameo after the credits.
- CreatorIvan RaimiSam RaimiTom SpezialyStarsBruce CampbellRay SantiagoDana DeLorenzoAsh has spent the last thirty years avoiding responsibility, maturity, and the terrors of the Evil Dead until a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind and Ash becomes mankind's only hope.STARZ underwent an ownership change, bought by Lionsgate between seasons 2 and 3. Lionsgate only wanted shows that brought in big ratings, and unfortunately AvED wasn't that (critically acclaimed sure, but just failed with viewers).
Bruce was burnt-out. The show was a year-round job (filming for several months, then promoting it with world tours for weeks), and it didn't help that he was getting injured more frequently on-set. Check out Hail To The Chin: Requiem For Ash for Campbell's explanation in his own words.

McGinleyJanet VarneyDeborah Baker Jr.An aging police sheriff begrudgingly joins an alliance with a new sheriff, Evie Barret, to battle angry demons haunting their small New Hampshire town.Very similar vibe to Ash vs Evil Dead (2015) and does a great job of mixing horror and comedy in a way that works very well.
- DirectorJacob StrunkStarsBruce CampbellDead by Daylight (2016) This is one of my favourite games and I've been playing it since its release in 2016. They keep bringing the best horror movie killers and characters every year, such as: Nicolas Cage, yes Nic Cage is in the game and apparently his son is a fan of the game, Ghostface, Bubba, Freddy, Pinhead, Jason Vorhees in a bear suit (inside joke, The Trapper) and many more. The most recent one's being Chucky and Tiffany, Ripley and The Xenomorph. As a big Bruce Campbell fan I've always wanted Ash in the game and in 2019 it finally happened Dead by Daylight: Ash vs Evil Dead (2019) and he is voiced by Campbell himself. I think the developers have done a pretty good job so far (pun intendend).
- DirectorJesús IglesiasJason O'ConnellStarsBruce CampbellBetsy BakerEllen SandweissStep into the shoes of Ash Williams or his friends from the iconic Evil Dead franchise and work together in a game loaded with over-the-top co-op and PVP multiplayer action.Evil Dead: The Game (2022) One of the main reasons this game failed was because the developer wasn't prepared for the games success and didn't have plans laid out for it and also because they opted to strike a deal with Epic Games instead of Steam. The game was only available on Steam a year later after its realease. Bruce and his son played this game together in a youtube video.
Sam Raimi was one of the producers and actors from Ash vs Evil Dead (2015) voiced their characters.
Campbell's character Ash also appears in many other games such as Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 (2022) He was introduced in the game as an Operator in October 23, 2023. His skin is also availabe in other COD games. His appearance is adapted from Evil Dead II (1987) and he has 34 minutes worth of voice lines recorded by Bruce himself (that's a lot and probably the Operator with more voice lines). Campbell's son is a big gaming enthusiast, he has played this game before and most likely every other game he's father is in.
Ash will continue to appear in many different games due to his popularity.
I'm gonna have to slide this one here: Ted Raimi is in The Quarry (2022) this game is very famous as it was made by the same people who made Until Dawn (2015) and The Dark Pictures Anthology.

The Ladies of The Evil-Dead Meet Bruce Campbell - (https://youtu.be/B-_wPDz0rzM?si=5_0JGljjp6Y-yFQU) - DirectorJames Roday RodriguezStarsJames Roday RodriguezDulé HillTimothy OmundsonGus' nightmares start to feel like reality when he and Shawn work to solve an unlikely case for the SBPD.If you haven't watched this series, I highly recommend, you will have a laugh... a lot.
The title is obviously a reference to the A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) franchise, which also features people confusing nightmares with reality and vice versa. This was the last episode of Psych (2006) filmed.
Bruce Campbell portrayed a dream therapist named Dr. Ashford Simpson in this episode, in reference to the husband-and-wife singer-songwriter duo Ashford & Simpson, but it's also a reference to Campbell's role as Ash in the Evil Dead franchise.
Dr. Simpson's final line is "Come get some", another reference to the Evil Dead franchise. It also causes Hell Hag (portrayed by Psych writer Carlos Jacott) to appear, who looks a lot like the Old Woman from Army of Darkness (1992). Also interesting to note, the last nightmarish creature Gus sees on the college campus, the balding ghoul who spins around and shrieks at the camera, is almost identical to the look used of the creatures in the Evil Dead film series.
Campbell says - "I had always wanted to work with the guys because I ran into them at all these PR events for Psych (2006) and Burn Notice (2007). "This is the last hurrah for this show. Heck yeah, I want to be a part of that." "James Roday Rodriguez is a huge, geeky fanboy at his core. He's been an Evil Dead fan since he was probably 9, so it's no surprise that he said, 'I want Ash in my last episode,' because it's about zombies and stuff like that."
The last line of the episode is, "Hail to the King, baby!" A catchphrase used by Ash Williams. - DirectorGary HertzStarsRob TapertTom SullivanJohn BloomA retrospective documentary about the making of "The Evil Dead".Tarantino talks about Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films - (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW6DvQkL14Q&ab_channel=YogeshAtrey)
