Horror 101 – Episode 68: Evil Dead III: The Army of Darkness – September 26th, 2017
Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas
After our last farewell podcast we wanted to come back to you a little more upbeat and we had the perfect Part III to do it with. More comedy than horror, Sam Raimi’s Army of Darkness is the endlessly entertaining third chapter to his Evil Dead story. At the end of Evil Dead II we saw Ash transported back to medieval times. Army of Darkness is the story of this out of place 20th century man fulfilling the foretold prophecy and becoming the savior of the realm. We’ll discuss our first experiences seeing the movie over 20 years ago. There’s a horror geek dispute that you won’t want to miss. Its Horror 101 covering Bruce Campbell Vs. The Army of Darkness.

Just listened to the Army of Darkness podcast. Really enjoyed it. Like Mr. Stewart I also saw Army of Darkness first and then saw the other two Evil Dead films. I agree, you can definitely see a progression of increased comedy throughout the film’s. The second one had the best balance .
Been going through your old podcasts and have had the chance to watch some really great films you reconmended. REC is one of my favorites so far. Thanks for the great entertainment.

I’m looking forward to it. I heard you mention a film called Tales of Halloween in passing in one of your shows. Been thinking of taking a look at it. Is it any good?
