While the STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS panel was blowing figurative minds, another panel was busy blowing literal minds all over the wall…with a chainsaw no less. The new Starz series Ash vs. Evil Dead screened a brand new trailer which, unlike the brief teases we’ve seen prior, actually gives us a whole lot of Bruce Campbell deadite slaying goodness. Groovy baby.
Check out the trailer below and get ready to tango, bitch!
As much as I love the EVIL DEAD films, I must admit that the idea of a TV series didn’t excite me all that much; however after watching this new trailer all I have to say is…screw you past-Kevin for ever doubting it! Ash vs. Evil Dead looks like a hell of a bloody good time; Bruce Campbell, Lucy Lawless, Sam Raimi, and all deadites you can shake a boomstick at. Sign me up.
Bruce Campbell on Ash in the new series:
This is a guy who thought he could just quietly live a life of quiet desperation and—no, he brings it back upon himself and the world, and he of all people must save the world from his own doing. That’s classic Evil Dead. Ash is basically responsible for everything.
Along with today’s trailer comes a release date for the series, the 10-episode first season of Ash vs. Evil Dead will air on Starz on Saturday, October 31 at 9 PM. Get your trick r’ treating done early that night folks!
