Bruce Campbell screaming as Ash in Evil Dead 2
Evil Dead franchise star Bruce Campbell explains why the franchise started to embrace more comedy after the first film. Released in 1981, Evil Dead hails from director Sam Raimi and marks a seminal entry into the horror genre, with Campbell starring as Ash, one of five friends who become tormented by flesh-possessing demons while at a cabin in the woods. Campbell would reprise the role for Evil Dead II in 1987 and Army of Darkness in 1992, both of which mixed horror and comedy.
And so we thought, ‘Is that us? We’re horror guys for the rest of our lives?’ But we were huge fans of The Three Stooges. So we thought, let’s start putting some of that in there. Stuff gets too serious. Writers get too serious. They get too serious about their own words. “Don’t change my perfect words.” Some of the best lines of dialogue were never written in a screenplay.”
