A short animated parody promo for the release of Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 2 - available on Blu-ray and DVD!
When Ray Santiago was a teenager, an acting coach gave him one of those out-of-the-blue, kinda-sorta compliments that doesn't so much warm the heart as freeze the brain.
"He said, 'You could play Ben Stiller's half-Latino son, if there was a movie for that,'" Santiago recalls, laughing. "And, I was like, 'Wait, what?!'"
What was likely a stray observation — Santiago, like Stiller, does have some prominent eyebrows — soon became the most unlikely and laser-specific prophecy of all time. A year or so later, Santiago found himself in Los Angeles, cast as Ben Stiller's illegitimate, half-Latino son in Meet the Fockers.
Comedy and horror are the peanut butter and chocolate of genres.
Tongue-in-cheek, parody, camp, and slapstick all have homes in subgenres of horror. Evil Dead II is one of the most successful examples of the latter. The Sam Raimi sequel embraces all that connects the most body-based genres, using a cinephile’s smorgasbord of filmmaking techniques to draw lines between wacky and spooky wherever he can.
Evil Dead the Musical Bend OR 2017. All the blood!
Hey guys! Since it's Halloween time, I thought I'd do a special video doing a cover of "It's Time" from the Evil Dead Musical. I love this song, it's super ridiculous in all the right ways so I had to give it a try.
Raimi: “All of us get to do things that people on most shows that dread and we love it. We get shot with blood and we’re hanging from harnesses and fighting monsters. It’s its own weird thing.”Raimi was then asked if he felt nostalgic going back to the world of Evil Dead.“Not at first, but they recreated the basement from the cabin. I was there wearing my costume and Bruce Campbell was wearing his costume, and that’s when I realized I’ve gone nowhere with my life. (Laughs)”
In August 2017 I went to Nashville, TN to attend a musicians conference. Along the way I stopped in Morristown, Tennessee to check out what remains of the Evil Dead Cabin. Cabin footage starts at 8:00.
Kurt talks with filmmaker Sam Raimi about the horror movie genre. Best known for directing "Spider-Man," Raimi's roots are in cult classics like “Evil Dead” and “Army of Darkness.” He tells Kurt about the limitations of digital effects and the relationship between horror and comedy.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2017 -- Fake blood is a staple of the Halloween horror film experience, but there's no one recipe to suit every filmmaker's needs. The chemistry of fake blood has always been tweaked to create the most realistic experience, or at least the most budget-friendly. From Alfred Hitchcock to Sam Raimi, join Reactions on a Halloween tour of the chemistry of gore: https:// youtu. be/ 8OC5rji1stI.
The folks over at Funny or Die have sent us a cool video just in time for Halloween which explores what happens when the worlds of Evil Dead and Pokemon Go collide! Dare you catch the horrors of Ash vs. Evil Pokemon?
In 1981, actor Bruce Campbell first took on "The Evil Dead." The cult hit spawned two sequels, video games, Marvel comic books, and a television series. Campbell is always working, and is in Atlanta this weekend for Walker Stalker Con. We talked with Campbell on low budget horror films and his cult star status.
When your homie at http:www.supersecretfunclub.com sends you a gift a simple instagram post wont do! Enjoy this sweded Army Of Darkness Evil Dead trailer we made using it!
Let "The Evil Dead's" Bruce Campbell teach you how to make fake blood. Beware for your Halloween costume -- it'll get sticky.
And the return of 'Ash vs. Evil Dead' only further cements that.
For the last 36 years, former S-Mart employee Ash Williams has been drawing the short end of the stick. For all his pain, The Evil Dead has come out as one of the best—if not the best—horror franchise around.
Alejandro Jodorowsky is not known as a horror director, per se. But the director of such cult classics as El Topo, The Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre, and this year’s Endless Poetry routinely includes in his movies the kind of eye-popping weirdness and viscerality that few terror tale-crafters would dare to match. So, what films does the Chile-born ‘Jodo’ recommend EW readers watch this Halloween? The answer is birthday boy Sam Raimi’s 1987 horror-comedy Evil Dead 2 and James Whale’s 1931 horror classic, Frankenstein.
Bruce Campbell played a retired Navy Seal on "Burn Notice" and has even played Elvis! He joined us on Good Day LA to talk about his new book "Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B-Movie Actor" and more!
Ash vs. Evil Dead star and producer Bruce Campbell is ripping into those who illegally download the STARZ TV series. Thirty-six years after the release of the first film in the Evil Dead trilogy, Campbell and his longtime collaborators Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are still at it with Ash vs. Evil Dead, which will begin its third season February 25, 2018, on STARZ.
There are only a handful of horror movies that are considered classics: Sam Raimi’s 1987 Evil Dead 2 is one of them. There’s a specific (and significant) scene where Ash, the movie’s hero, loses his demonic right hand. Recently Bruce Campbell (Ash) appeared on Entertainment Weekly: The Show and talked about the process a faking a severed hand and how Ash’s hand has evolved through the years.
Here’s the full appearance of Bruce Campbell with Q&A on his “Hail To The Chin” book signing tour. Sacramento, CA 10/17 @ 7pm.
30 years after the release of Raising Arizona, a look at the use of "shaky cam."
Friends can be influential on a personal level, but what about in an artistic sense? Sam Raimi and the Coen Brothers are known for very different films, but once upon a time they were collaborators. While Joel and Ethan Coen are multiple Oscar-winners and critically lauded auteurs, they struggled to break into filmmaking just like the horror-obsessed Raimi. Joel and Sam worked together on Raimi’s no-budget masterwork The Evil Dead, and it was there that Joel learned a cheap but effective camera trick to raise the pulse of the audience: the shaky cam.
Celebrate 30 Years of Evil Dead with Massive Oversized Tomes
Bellingham, WA (PRUnderground) October 17th, 2017
On October 19th, Space Goat Productions will launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund a set of deluxe, oversized Evil Dead 2 hardcover books. Included in the set is The Art of Evil Dead 2: Comic Books and Board Games as well as The Evil Dead 2 Omnibus. Both will be housed in a slipcase styled after the iconic Necronomicon Ex-Mortis from the cult classic film.
This video explains the giddy rush you feel when director Sam Raimi whips up his unique blend of horror and comedy. According to video essayist Patrick Willems, his genius lies in throwing us off balance as we’re yanked between two genres that affect us on a primal level.
There’s a straight line—or is that a flatline?—from Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein to Evil Dead’s Ash, and several distinct ways to push audiences to the edge of hysteria. As Willems points out, there's nothing inherently funny in Raimi’s movies, and that's where he gets us.
In Sam Raimi’s 1987 horror classic Evil Dead 2, Bruce Campbell’s idiot-hero Ash attempts to shoot his possessed (and severed) right hand after it scurries behind the walls of a cabin in the woods. Instead of slaying the extremity, Ash causes a torrent of blood to rush out of the wall and drench him in gore. We asked Campbell to explain exactly how they achieved the effect.
Originally shown in the US in 1981, it sat finished for a few years, slowly gaining traction before it actually saw a wide release in 1983, and yet it still seemed to come out of nowhere to take the world by storm. People weren’t prepared for The Evil Dead. But that’s exactly what Raimi designed it to be: something you weren’t prepared for, something you didn’t even know how to react to.
Oct. 14 (UPI) -- Bruce Campbell says Lee Majors is returning for Season 3 of Ash vs. Evil Dead -- even though his character was run down by a demonic car in Season 2.
"We brought him back. So, we have some good scenes with him as a ghost," Campbell told UPI recently at New York Comic Con. "He's funny. Lee is funny. Lee has a good sense of humor. This season, now, Lee is way more relaxed because he is like: 'I've got this. I know what this is now.' You come on to a new show, you don't know what the hell it is. You don't know any of these people. He is comfortable with me now and, so, he's great."
Season 3 is scheduled to begin Feb. 25 on Starz. The horror-comedy follows Campbell's Evil Dead movies, which were released in the 1980s and '90s. It co-stars Lucy Lawless, Ray Santiago and Dana DeLorenzo.
Majors is known for his roles on TV's The Big Valley, The Six Million Dollar Man and The Fall Guy. He joined Ash vs. Evil Dead as Ash's father Brock in Season 2.
In Evil Dead, there aren’t zombies or vampires that you can easily kill. These are possessed beings or deadites that you can try to outsmart, or dismember. Watch the video to see what to avoid when someone has read the Book of the Necronomicon (Book of the dead), you’re plagued with demons and fighting for your life!
Ray Santiago returned home to the big city for NYCC. A Bronx native, Santiago graduated from Fiorello LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts aka “The FAME School” in 2002 and has been acting ever since. As Pablo Simon Bolivar on AvED, he follows his “jefe” Ash through thick and thin. Last season was a long and brutal one for Pablo. First he was possessed by the Necronomicon, then he was slashed in half by the demon Baal. Thankfully resurrected for season 3, Ray Santiago sat down to talk about the upcoming season and the torture his character has gone through.
Dana DeLorenzo stars as Kelly Maxwell, my choice for most badass woman on TV. She can stand toe to toe with Ash Williams and match him insult for insult and one liner for one liner; and she loves nothing more than shooting deadites. We sat down with the Youngstown, Ohio native to talk about the upcoming season. When she sat down at the table, she warned us about her penchant for rambling on, slamming the table and talking loud, all things we were perfectly fine with her doing.
Hail to the king, baby! In this bonus NYCC LeagueCast, Adam talks to Ash Williams himself, Bruce Campbell! That’s followed up with press room audio from fellow Ash Vs. Evil Dead co-stars Lindsay Farris, Arielle Carver-O’Neill, Ray Santiago, and Dana DeLorenzo.

Arielle Carver-O’Neill and Lindsay Farris are the two “newbies” on the show. Both native Aussies, Carver-O’Neill plays Brandy Barr, daughter of Candy Barr (Yep) and Ash (yes, she’s Ash’s daughter!), while Farris is Dalton, a descendant of the Knights of Sumeria who joins the Ghost Beaters and holds Ash in hero-worship. Check out what they had to say during the press event.
This past weekend, Ash vs Evil Dead took over this year’s New York Comic-Con. The Starz series proudly displayed their season 3 premiere date, 2/25/18, on a sign by their fan experience. That was set up outside the Javits Center the entire 4 days, allowing fans to walk through a replica set and create GIFs of them fighting deadites. On Saturday, they took to Hammerstein Ballroom, where stars Bruce Campbell, Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago, Arielle Carver-O’Neill, and Lindsay Farris treated fans to a special sneak peek of the season 3 premiere and conducted a panel discussion and Q&A. They were back at Javits later in the day signing autographs and taking photos. The highlight for me was joining a press roundtable where we got to speak to the cast members of the series about their experiences on the upcoming season.
Bruce Campbell, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, Arielle Carver-O'Neill, and Lindsay Farris take the stage to discuss Ash vs Evil Dead Season 3 at New York Comic Con.

This is an advance review of Ash vs Evil Dead's Season 3 premiere, which aired at New York Comic Con 2017. Ash vs Evil Dead returns with Season 3 on February 25th on Starz. This review contains mild spoilers about the new episode.
Ash vs Evil Dead has been coming to New York Comic Con every year since before its season 1 premiere in 2015. And why shouldn’t it, baby? In the halls of comic book geekdom, Bruce Campbell’s glorious chin is held in the same regard as the faces on Mount Rushmore, and his alter-ego’s chainsaw is more revered than any cherry tree-destroying axe. Of course Ashley J. Williams doesn’t just use his blade to cut wood.
So it was an obvious delight when Campbell took the stage of the Hammerstein Ballroom in Midtown on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by his co-stars and fellow icons of the cult TV series, Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago, and newcomers Arielle Carver-O’Neill and Lindsay Farris. Basking in that glow, Campbell cheerfully introduced the season 3 premiere episode four months before its Feb. 25, 2018 debut. He also gave some major hints about what to expect in the new year, such as potential time travel shenanigans and trips to the sperm bank.
It was just the other day that Starz announced that “Ash vs Evil Dead” Season 3 was going to premiere on February 25, 2018. And today we have our first look at the upcoming third season with FOUR new stills. This includes our first look at Arielle Carver-O’Neill as Brandy Barr, aka Ash’s long-lost daughter.
Bruce Campbell has bills to pay, y'all. Campbell, the namesake behind Starz's hit Ash vs Evil Dead, opened the series' New York Comic-Con 2017 panel on Saturday by thanking fans for helping pay his kid's tutition.
The audience was treated to a sneak peek of Season 3 along with the entire first episode. The show is slated to return Sunday, February 25, 2018 at 9PM ET/PT on Starz.
Our take: Without giving too much away, the Season 3 premiere is hilariously gruesome. Lucy Lawless (Xena) returns as Ruby, the Demon Mother of Fire, and she isn't holding anything back. We also meet Ash's daughter Brandy in the premiere and her mom Candy Barr. In typical Deadite fashion, Ash and his newfound fam are thrown into mayhem as he shows his daughter what his life entails, taking high school drama to a whole new level.
Actress Dana DeLorenzo (Kelly) returns to Ash vs. Evil Dead with some killer instincts and a friend, Dalton, played by Lindsay Farris. Arielle Carver-O'Neill also joins Season 3 as Ash's daughter Brandy Barr. At the panel, Carver-O'Neill says the experience being a newcomer on the show is both "terrifying and awesome." On parenthood, Campbell says Ash is the "best and the worst" as a father." He did reveal Ash never lies to his daughter and is very protective.
During the fan Q&A, DeLorenzo spills to the audience she and costar Ray Santiago had to share a shower one time after a scene, calling it a "murder scene" with all the fake blood.
Starz took to New York Comic Con today where they officially premiered the first full episode for Ash vs Evil Dead Season 3! For those of us unable to attend, however, come three brand new photos from the all-new episodes. Check them out in the gallery below. The highly-anticipated, 10-episode third season of Ash vs Evil Dead will premiere on Sunday, February 25, 2018 at 9PM ET/PT.
The wickedly gore-filled series stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, the chainsaw-wielding anti-hero tasked with saving the world from evil; Lucy Lawless as Ruby, the unpredictable foe and occasional ally who has strong ties to the origin of the “Necronomicon;” Ray Santiago plays Pablo Simon Bolivar, Ash’s loyal sidekick and eternal optimist; and Dana DeLorenzo returns as Kelly Maxwell, orphaned in Season One and ready to kick some evil ass. Ash vs Evil Dead Season 3 also finds Ash discovering his long lost daughter, Brandy Barr, played by newcomer Arielle Carver-O’Neill (House Husbands, Suburbs, Conspiracy 365).
In anticipation for the return of Ash vs Evil Dead next year, IGN can exclusively reveal this first look photo from Season 3.Click to enlarge image:
Check out the exclusive photo below, which sees Bruce Campbell's Ash in a rather unfavorable situation.
Ash vs Evil Dead star Dana DeLorenzo says there’s a scene in the upcoming third season of the series that tops the fight between Ash (Bruce Campbell) and a cadaver’s Deadite colon from last year. The Evil Dead saga, of course, is the brainchild of director Sam Raimi, producer Rob Tapert and actor Bruce Campbell, whose independent filmmaking toils paid off in 1981 when they made The Evil Dead a horror cult classic.
While the first film in the series was strictly for scares, the trio took their love for Three Stooges-style slapstick and infused those sensibilities into their Evil concept with 1987’s Evil Dead II, giving that and the third Evil Dead film — 1992’s Army of Darkness – a distinct combination of horror and comedy. Suddenly, the idea of excessive blood and gore turned into scenes of gut-busting laughter, and in the case of the film’s spinoff series, Ash vs. Evil Dead, other parts of the body have inspired some gross-out guffaws, too.
The high point (or low point, depending on your point-of-view) of gag-inducing humor came in last year’s second season of Ash vs. Evil Dead, when in the episode “The Morgue”, Ash got into a tussle with the Deadite colon belonging to a deceased man, which ended up pulling the wise-cracking antihero’s square-jawed mug up into the sphincter of a cadaver. And while there were plenty of scenes of blood, guts and gore to go around the rest of the season, “The Morgue” scene was arguably the most disgusting one featured in the show’s 10 episodes.
Apparently, though, an effort was made to top the Ash/Deadite colon scene in the upcoming Ash vs. Evil Dead season 3. DeLorenzo made the reveal during an Ash vs. Evil Dead Facebook Live session Friday, which featured the actor, who plays Ash’s butt-kicking sidekick Kelly, along with Campbell, Ray Santiago (Pablo) and Arielle Carver-O’Neill – who joins the series this year as Brandy, the daughter Ash didn’t know he had.
The reveal unfolded when a fan asked what the cast members did to keep the new episodes fresh, to which Santiago responded with the motivational idea of, “How can top what we did the episode before?”
"Ash vs. Evil Dead" follows heroic, chainsaw-handed monster fighter Ash Williams, now an aging lothario who has successfully avoided responsibility, maturity and heinous villains for the past 30 years. Constantly peering over his shoulder, Ash somehow knew that the Evil Dead would return for him. That day arrives when Ash commits an act of carelessness, unleashing a Deadite plague that threatens to destroy mankind. Stars Bruce Campbell, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo & Arielle Carver-O’Neill stop by to talk about the series.

STARZ announced the February 25th, 2018 premiere date for Ash vs Evil Dead Season 3 on Facebook, along with new key art featuring horror in the high school halls.
According to Deadline, this is the synopsis for the third season: "Ash’s status in Elk Grove, Michigan has changed from murderous urban legend to humanity-saving hometown hero. When Kelly witnesses a televised massacre with Ruby’s fingerprints all over it, she returns with a new friend to warn Ash and Pablo that evil isn’t done with them yet."
Bruce Campbell will return as the boomstick king, Ash, and he will also executive produce with Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi, the director of the original Evil Dead film franchise. Also reprising their roles from the first two seasons are Lucy Lawless, Ray Santiago, and Dana DeLorenzo.
As previously reported, Arielle Carver O'Neill has joined the season three cast as high schooler Brandy Barr, although we now know that the character is the "long-lost daughter" of Ash.

If you’ve been coming to Rotten Tomatoes regularly for a while, you’re probably already familiar with our Five Favorite Films interview features. We wanted to do things a little differently for the month of October, leading up to Halloween, so we decided to speak to a number of actors and filmmakers who have a special connection to the horror genre and ask them specifically what their Five Favorite Horror Films are. We begin with none other than Bruce Campbell.
Anyone who has followed the career of Bruce Campbell knows that the actor has a talent for turning up in colorful, eclectic, and sometimes downright bizarre projects. So it makes sense that Campbell's nearly two decades of living in Southern Oregon have been lively. As the cult favorite writes in his new memoir, "Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions of a B Movie Actor," since moving to Southern Oregon in 1998, Campbell and his family have encountered gun-toting neighbors, wayward skunks, severed deer legs, and other Northwest folkways.
