We’re falling through time to pay off a cliffhanger as Ash Williams goes up against the Medival Dead in 1992’s ARMY OF DARKNESS.

After the success of DARKMAN, Sam Raimi was ready to turn EVIL DEAD into a studio picture, and Universal Pictures was more than happy to oblige. What they wanted was a PG-13 adventure film, but what they got was a barely R-rated horror comedy that was notoriously difficult to market and ultimately flopped at the box office. However, the film would go on to become an instant cable classic and to this day, remains the only feature film from a major studio featuring Bruce Campbell in a lead role. 

Film critic Jeremiah Sherman has his boomstick at the ready as he joins Nick & Scott to explode as many skeletons on screen as possible in this deadite-lite episode of FRANCHISOGRAPHY.
