Evil Dead II (1987)

Bruce Campbell has announced his retirement from the Evil Dead franchise

You can see below what Bruce had to say about leaving the franchise for good. We here at The Deadite Slayer will support everything he does and his plans for the future. We got a first look at the season/series finale and we know that you fans are going to love it as we say goodbye to everything Bruce has done for us. We are excited to see what else Bruce will have in store for us in the future. To more projects ahead!

Good people, Evil Dead fans everywhere, I bid you a heartfelt farewell playing Ash - the character I took acting lessons with for 39 years.

I am hereby retiring from that portrayal. It’s time. I followed Ash from his formative years thru his mid-life crisis and decline. What a thrill! What a privilege!

We had a great resurgence with the help of Starz (kudos not jeers, folks). They made it possible for 15 more hours of Evil Dead-ness in your life - the equivalent of 10 more features!

Is Ash dead? Never. Ash is as much a concept as a person. Where there is evil in this world, there must be one to counter - man or woman, it matters not.

Thanks for watching.

Love,

Bruce

Grooovy!
