If you’re a fan of Ash Williams (and really, who isn’t?), then you’re itching to know what happened to the courageous S-Mart staffer after he overslept by a hundred years at the end of ARMY OF DARKNESS: THE DIRECTOR’S CUT!
Finally, the time capsule that Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, Josh Becker and the rest of the cast and crew buried after wrapping The Evil Dead(aka Book of the Dead) in January of 1980, has been found!
I dug this up in 2011 and had it stashed in my office drawer ever since because I was not sure if I had actually found THE time capsule. I suspected that I did or at least just something that the crew left behind, but I stashed it and honestly forgot about it for a while. Finally, in 2019, I went to meet Sam Raimi at the Texas Frightmare Weekend in Dallas. I presented this to him and I can proudly say that he confirmed that this is THE time capsule they buried.
I meant to make this video years ago, but unfortunately got side tracked by my first feature film and bouts of laziness. Anyway, I just wanted to make this video to publicly announce my findings and share the famous Evil Dead time capsule with the world.
Ted Raimi is a staple in genre cinema, from his frequent appearances in the Evil Dead franchise to starring roles in Xena: Warrior Princess, Twin Peaks, Skinner, Shocker, Candyman,Crimewave, and many more across four decades.
Now, the actor is back in the big screen with Alex Kahuam in Failure! a tense crime thriller shot in one, impressive, 87-minute take. With its world premiere taking place at this year's FrightFest, the film sees Raimi step out of his comfort zone and take on the lead role. Speaking to FILMHOUNDS, he let us in on how the cast and crew prepared for the mammoth shooting of the film and why horror is so beloved to him.
