When Ash vs Evil Dead rises for Season 3 on February 25, 2018, the slayer of the undead will have traded his gory ways for some glory days.
Now a hometown hero, "Ash—like any shallow person—is determined to cash in on his fame," says star Bruce Campbell, noting that his super-chinned alter ego "is revving up the crowd at the grand opening of Ashy Slashy’s Hardware (and Sex Toy) Emporium."
Also keeping him abuzz? He’ll reunite with his long-lost daughter, Brandy (Arielle Carver-O’Neill)—and pity the fool who comes between a chainsaw-wielding papa and his princess!
MICHIGAN CITY — The Comic Book and Pop Culture Club (ComPop) of the Ivy Tech Michigan City campus will be hosting special effects artist Tom Sullivan as a guest speaker Nov. 30.
Last time Tom joined the group on campus, he had a “groovy” good time, so organizers are happy to have him back.
Sullivan is the make-up, special effects, and stop motion animation artist for the original "Evil Dead" movie. He created the Necronomicon, or the "Book of the Dead," used in the movie. As many know, reading from the book is what unleashed the terrors of the deadites that Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his friends had to battle and survive in the film. Sullivan has also worked on "Evil Dead II," "The Fly II,: and did the artwork for an H.P. Lovecraft role playing game.
To celebrate HALLOWEEN in the most awesome manner possible, JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, decided to dedicate this year's All Hallow's Eve to one of the most beloved, and enduring horror franchises of all time...EVIL DEAD!!!
And somehow, the horror gods looked up upon us and smiled. For our guests, we managed to snag the stars of the hit STARZ TV series, ASH VS EVIL DEAD...DANA DeLORENZO and RAY SANTIAGO!
With Kelly and Pablo in the house, they really put the "party" in MONSTER PARTY! Get ready for behind the scenes tales, straight from the mouths of these Deadite battling warriors, not to mention Dana vs Mint In Box Barbies, Ray vs His Hair, book titles stranger than the Necronomicon, and how pumpkin ale saved Halloween!
Back in October, Space Goat Productions launched a Kickstarter campaign for an Evil Dead 2 comic book omnibus and art book. The support from Ash and chainsaw enthusiasts has been overwhelming, and with the campaign now over 150% funded and plenty of groovy stretch goals on the horizon, we've teamed up with Space Goat for a special giveaway of their reward tier collectibles, including a Necronomicon prop replica from Trick or Treat Studios.
Ash spent some quality time in the asylum during the second season of Ash vs Evil Dead, and he even made a new friend at the frightening facility: a hand puppet version of himself. Dubbed "Ashy Slashy," this depiction of the iconic Bruce Campbell character will soon be released by the fine folks at NECA, who have unveiled the groovy packaging for the collectible.
Ray Santiago is an American actor of Puerto Rican descent who was born in South Bronx, New York, on June 15, 1984. His first acting job was in the film ‘Girlfight’ in 2000. However, he is more famous for playing the role of Jorge Villalobos in the 2004 comedy ‘Meet the Fockers’. He got this role after auditioning for Robert De Niro. Strangely, his acting coach had once said to him that he could play Ben Stiller’s half-Latino son in a movie. He was referring to Santiago’s prominent eyebrows that are similar to Stiller’s. As he is of Puerto Rican descent, he could have found himself in stereotypically racist roles, but he has defied this and gone on to establish a successful career as an actor in both film and television. Since 2016, he has been filming a television series called ‘Shiny Baby Goat’ in which he plays Rodd Scott.

Every year at the Edinburgh Fringe - the August institution where many of the best leftfield live projects are launched onto an unsuspecting public - there's at least one show that gets the whole festival talking, the 'Have you seen...?' phenomenon. This year, that show was The Elvis Dead.
On paper, Rob Kemp's one-man mash-up musical may not sound like a sure-fire bums-on-seats affair. His long-festering idea was to retell the decidedly niche horror movie Evil Dead 2 via the medium of Elvis Presley tunes, and the resulting show proved a lot less niche than he probably expected.
To keep in the spirit of celebrating anniversaries in film and television, this year marks the 30th, yes 30th, anniversary of Evil Dead 2. The film continues to entertain viewers since its debut in 1987, thanks to the success of the original 1981 film. A third film, Army of Darkness, came in 1992 to complete the Evil Deadtrilogy. The year 2013 saw the release of a remake to the original film, and there is currently a television series and a stage musical based on these films. What is the appeal of this series? In the case of Evil Dead 2 – its cartoonish nature.
