What is Ash vs Evil Dead? Ash vs Evil Dead is a sequel to the original Evil Dead trilogy that began in the late 70s. The basic gyst is Ash Williams (the main star of the show played by Bruce Campbell) is basically an every day guy that has to save the world from the evil forces of Hell that he accidently summons from a book known as the Necronomicon. It is written that every generation evil tests the metal of men and Ash is prophecized as the one to fight back the forces of evil and save the human race. Of course the story is much deeper and the world much richer. This show oozes in atmosphere! You do NOT have to had seen the movies to enjoy the series. While the movies are fantastic and come highly rated, the show does a decent job recapping the events of the movies and making the show into it's own thing.
When does it air? Season 3 of the best show ever begins Sunday February 25th on Starz.
How about a trailer for this season? Sure thing:
How and why should I pay money for Starz to support this show? There is nothing on tv right now quite like Ash vs Evil Dead. It's one of the most unique and fun shows I personally have seen in years. A show that is often times overlooked as just a dumb comedy but instead has some of the coolest creature designs, gore effects and campy acting I've ever seen. If you like horror then you're likely going to love Ash vs Evil Dead. It's also a show that is very much on the verge of being canceled if ratings do not pick up or at least hold. You can watch seasons one and two on Netflix currently and subscribe to Starz for about $9 a month (they even offer a free one week trial). It can also be subscribed via Amazon Prime as well. You can use the Starz app on your favorite game console, computer or most media devices. While it may be "cheaper" to just pirate the show, it's essentially killing off the chances of getting more. Do the right thing and support the show legally. It's worth it! Bruce Campbell has also stated that if the show gets canceled, he will not return to this role ever again and the Evil Dead franchise will likely die with that. Subscribe to Starz, convince your friends to do the same and get the word out about this gem of a show.
Hows the fun factor? This is something that is rarely discussed when tv threads are made but it's something that I wanted to personally comment on. Ash vs Evil Dead is among the most fun I've had with a television show in many many years mainly due to it's fast pacing, beautiful and unique creature and set designs, fantastic use of licensed music, badass characters, fantastic humor and large amounts of gore and creative death scenes. Each season features ten episodes and every episode delivers on the fun factor! As mentioned before, there is very little in the way of tv content like this series and it would be a huge shame if it gets canceled due to piracy or lack of support. It's also one of those shows that I think more people would love if they were willing to give it a chance. Go watch seasons one and two on Netflix and support season 3 next week!
