"Evil Dead" The Mini-Series, Because They Can

Bruce Campbell Is Back To Kick Some Ash

OMG! This is very cool news indeed! I remember when I saw the first Evil Dead movie in 1981 with it's unique blend of horror, camp and over the top gore it was unlike any thing I had ever seen before, I was hooked!

Of course I saw the equally loopy and freaky Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness.

Well all of you "Dead Beats" get ready here comes Ash vs. Evil Dead. The Starz Network announced its plan to air the 10 half-hour episode miniseries, with the 1981 film's star Bruce Campbell back as Ash and director Sam Raimi executive-producing. Raimi will also direct the pilot. Raise a bloody stump and say Hallelujah!

"I'm really excited to bring this series to the Evil Dead fans worldwide," Campbell said in a statement. "it's going to be everything they have been clamoring for: serious deadite ass-kicking and plenty of outrageous humor."

Raimi added, "Evil Dead has always been a blast. Bruce, Rob Tapert, and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the next chapter in Ash's lame, but heroic saga. With his chainsaw arm and his ‘boomstick,' Ash is back to kick some monster butt. And brother, this time there's a truckload of it."

Set 30 years after the first film, Ash vs. Evil Dead will follow Ash, who has spent the last three decades "avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of Evil Dead," as he is forced to finally face his demons after a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind. "Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its 'Evil' grip," states the press release.

They're going to get you on Starz in 2015, take me, I'm ready!
