Army of Darkness (1992)

If you’re joining us for Evil Dead II on Monday, October 26, why not come back for the sequel on Friday? See Ash go from one very bad night at a cabin to one very bad time in medieval England. They’re completely different movies, but together they make for a pretty great Halloween double feature spread across the week.
If Evil Dead II is horror canon, Army of Darkness is what happens when you give Ash Williams a chainsaw, a boomstick and a one-way ticket to the Middle Ages.
It’s bigger, sillier and more adventure-driven than Evil Dead II, but it has the same unmistakable Raimi energy: wild camera work, practical effects, physical comedy and a hero who is never quite as prepared as he thinks he is. Army of Darkness has become a Halloween favourite for a reason. It’s weird, quotable, endlessly rewatchable and a whole lot of fun with a crowd.
