“There’s something out there. That… that witch in the cellar is only part of it. It lives… out in those woods, in the dark… something… something that’s come back from the dead.”
While promoting his Peacock series, Hysteria, horror legend Bruce Campbell revealed that they’re developing an Evil Dead animated series and he’ll be returning to voice Ash, according to a report on Entertainment Weekly.
“We are developing an animated version, like a series,” he said. “I’ll do that. I’ll do Ash’s voice all day long, because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have.”
When speaking about the films, Campbell went on to say “We’re out of the cabin, Sam [Raimi] doesn’t have to direct, I don’t have to star as Ash. The trick is to take the elements that people like, which is innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity, and it’s people who have no skills to stop it.”
A release date for the animated series has yet to be revealed.
Groovy
The originals were good because of campy practical effects, and the TV show did an OK job recreating it, but they can do so much crazier shit in animation.
Plus it’s about the only way Bruce could do it.
Interesting! I loved Evil Dead Rise. I hope there comes more soon and not just animated movies… Rise was a perfect horror movie IMO.
