"Listen up, Screwheads" - Evil Dead's Ash To Return As Series!

You can't keep a good man down. 33 years ago, Sam Raimi unleashed Bruce Campbell on the world, with The Evil Dead, and now after two sequels and a feature "reimagining," Ash will return to wield boomstick and vanquish the forces of darkness on the Starz cable channel in a series of 10 half-hour episodes:

“Bruce Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons –personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its ‘Evil’ grip."

Sam Raimi will exec produce the series and direct the pilot episode. Bruce Campell certainly makes it sound like the right mix: "I’m really excited to bring this series to the Evil Dead fans worldwide — it’s going to be everything they have been clamoring for: serious deadite ass-kicking and plenty of outrageous humor."

We don't have long to wait, either - the Ash vs. Evil Dead series debuts in 2015!
