Bruce Campbell Speaks Out About Ash’s Fate

Just days after Starz announced it had cut down “Ash vs Evil Dead“, one of our favorite series, Ash himself, Bruce Campbell, had a few words for fans and a statement about the future Ashley “Ash” Williams. According to Campbell, after Sunday, April 29th’s season finale we will say our final farewell the suave, chainsaw-handed character we fell in love with in Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead back in 1981. There is an article from Bloody-Disgusting with instructions on how to send Starz a message that we want the big guy back, but Campbell has since made it known in no uncertain terms that Ash is officially retired. But, you can’t blame fans for trying. Big props to fans for the effort, but I’m retired as Ash. #timetofrysomeotherfish https://t.co/Di1aeBV0dl — Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) April 23, 2018 No one will ever fill those groovy’s shoes. Goodbye Ash, we’re going to miss you!

Bad News For “Ash VS Evil Dead” Fans

It seems our wild ride with jefe and deadite slayer Ash Williams has come to an end. It’s with a heavy heart that we report that Starz has canceled “Ash vs Evil Dead” (*tear falls). Bruce Campbell posted a message shortly ago via his Twitter account: Ash Vs Evil Dead has been the ride of a lifetime. Ash Williams was the role of a lifetime. I will always be grateful to Starz, Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and our tireless fans for the opportunity to revisit the franchise that launched our careers. Thank you! 😎 pic.twitter.com/oNmTopS1Ab — Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) April 20, 2018 This will be the last season for “Ash vs Evil Dead”. It breaks our hearts to know we will soon say goodbye to Campbell’s Ash Williams, Pablo (Ray Santiago), Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), Ash’s daughter Brandy (Arielle Carver-O’Neill), and that demonic Ruby (Lucy Lawless). The season finale on April 29 at p.m. will be the show’s last episode. That

Stephen Lang Confirms “Don’t Breathe” Sequel Is Still Happening

In this cinematic landscape where entire franchises are outlined before their first film releases, the mere announcement of a sequel is far from a guarantee that sequel will be made. Stephen Lang, however, is pretty damn confident a second Don’t Breathe film is coming. In an interview with Screen Rant, Lang was about as clear as possible stating, “Oh yeah, we’re doing a sequel.” Well damn, that sure was easy. Lang played the old blind man in Don’t Breathe to genuine, terrifying perfection in what was one of 2016’s best horror films (which also include 2016’s grossest use of a turkey baster). This won’t just be a second helping of the same old stuff either, if producer Sam Raimi is telling the truth, stating way back in November of 2016 “It’s only the greatest idea for a sequel I’ve ever heard. I’m not kidding.” We haven’t actually seen any plot details for Don’t Breathe 2 but the first film did
