Evil Dead
Summary
The Evil Dead is an American horror film franchise created by Sam Raimi. The films focus on the protagonist, Ashley J. "Ash" Williams, played by Bruce Campbell, who deals with "Deadites", which are undead antagonists created by the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. The original series includes The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987), and Army of Darkness (1992). The franchise has since expanded into other formats such as video games and comic books. A musical opened in Toronto in 2003 containing material from all three films, and a remake of the first film is currently in development and due for release in 2013.
