Official Start Date has been announced!

That means the show will wrap up for the season on the 4th or 11th of December, depending on whether or not they take off Thanksgiving weekend this year.

F**K YES, they played it straight through last year so it probably won't be much different this year either. 

And why is the cheers theme suddenly coming to mind when i look at this image ?

Also worth noting that that is the first picture we have of Michelle Hurd as Linda.

The Fall TCAs are happening now and Bruce is doing press for it during the Starz panel, any new spoilers I come across I'll siphon out.

Might that be what Bruce kept talking about at the Comic Con pre-press?

Panel is over; there has been a lot of commentary about Outlander and Power from Chris Albrecht, but nothing about AvED. Though nothing will ever top the bon mott in my sig file.

For some reason that tweet seems to have misinformed what was actually said here's the ign article. 

[font=ars-maquette-web, sans-serif]Tapert said there was one performer in Season 2 whose character “has this issue that happened between his legs” and “He had to run around for 20 days in boxer shorts that were sticky. I felt so bad for this guy and he was just sticking to himself.” Tapert, who has been with Campbell and Raimi on the entire [/font][font=ars-maquette-web, sans-serif]Evil Dead[/font][font=ars-maquette-web, sans-serif] series, said that as far as better technology there days, “Even though we had ways of delivering gore and blood and those things, the components that make them, it's still not an incredibly comfortable experience.”[/font]

I'm not gonna read much into this statement as it's been worded really wired and it's quite confusing, guess will just have to find out what happens there when oct 2nd comes around. *Shrug*

Actually they gave them a good part of there panel time for AvED so they must hold the show still in high regard, that say's alot to me there still giving a lot of attention to the show.

and michelle hurd was at the panel for tca's as well

I had a feeling they were going to joke around with the linda name, but really who didn't see that one coming because that's been a major joke with both evil dead fans and the creators for years, so it dosen't surprise me none that they threw that little joke/jab in there.

RE: Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 General Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

Got some more  news here on the first episode and when there airing the episodes

the first episode is going to be a extended episode and starz will be airing the episodes a hour early so they aren't competing with WD/TD, westworld and anything else that's airing on sunday, very smart move on starz part. 

[font=tvg-sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Ash vs. Evil Dead[/font][font=tvg-sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif], Starz's extension of the beloved [/font][font=tvg-sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Evil Dead[/font][font=tvg-sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] franchise, will return for its second season Sunday, Oct. 2 at 8/7c[/font]

[font=tvg-sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The new season, which is 10 episodes long and promises to be bloodier and gorier than ever before (something of a dangerous promise considering the amount of chainsaws and shotguns in the show), will kick things off with an extended episode featuring [/font][font=tvg-sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Bruce Campbell[/font][font=tvg-sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]'s reluctant hero Ash returning to his hometown of Elk Grove, Mich. to face his past mistakes and take on the Evil Dead once and for all.[/font]

Source : http://www.tvguide.com/news/ash-vs-evil-dead-season-2-premiere-date-details/


We have the official name for episode 1 for season 2 and it's been titled "Home"

The second season roars back into action with an extended episode where Ash is forced to leave his cushy retirement in Jacksonville, return to his hometown of Elk Grove, Michigan, and mount up once again to face The Evil Dead. This time, he’ll have to form an uneasy alliance with his former enemy Ruby as Elk Grove becomes the nucleus to the most dangerous horror Ash has faced to date. The upcoming season of [/font][font=Arial, Helevtica, Verdana, san-serif]Ash vs Evil Dead[/font][font=Arial, Helevtica, Verdana, san-serif] will include ten half-hour episodes.[/font]

I wouldn't be shocked if she's the one who dies this season (I know at least one main character will probably die per season), but the general lack of Linda B in the pre-press seems to point in her direction.

The Tweets sound like the same info, just parsed differently through two different mindsets.  I think they were straining for some kind of taste in describing the injury and it's just convoluting things.

For the curious, Bruce has gotten his traditional post-season buzzcut.

Kelly looks particularly badass in those photos

Bio spoilers:

Spoiler

* Brock owned the town's hardware store, but the Ashy Slashy drama led to his forced retirement .

* He hangs out at the Elks Lodge bar (possibly where Chet works?)

* Linda B is married to the town sheriff.

Well, it's partially a smart move; it takes it out of the direct path of TWD and other competition in that demo.  Its main competition in the demo is probably NCIS: LA, though I'm sure that the Simpsons would cut into it a tad as well, though not severely.  The biggest dangers posed to the show will be runover from Fox's football games, various important World Series-related games and NBC's Sunday Night in America pregame show.

The writer listing, if accurate, is interesting if accurate; not many people well know for horror on the list.

I can now confirm the director's and writers for this season with this link as starz already has them listed on the main site, which is where i'm gonna guess is where the person who edited the wiki got it from.

Some of them are known to those who followed Xena, Hercules, and Spartacus... or in the case of Rick Jacobson who did all three plus Bitch Slap which pretty much had the main cast members from the first two in small roles. He also did some Baywatch so he might be perfect for anything involving Florida and/or beaches. Sadly we don't get any Michael Hurst directed episodes this season though.

I thought rick did one helluva job with the finale, he nailed raimi's style down to the tea and did some pretty unique things for the finale so it's great to see his directing the first and last two episodes, i am also glad to see Micheal and Tony are back again as well ,The one i'm iffy on is Mark, we'll have to wait and see how he does but i'm glad to see that they picked the best directors for most of the episodes for season 2 and 1 unknown this around.

I'm gonna guess this image is when there facing off with each other on the mechanical bull ride, i get the feeling ash just get's destroyed by his father immensely. I'm already in love with his dad, can't wait to see how this relationship play's out over the season but i get the feeling it's gonna be a rocky start judging by this image.

Here's our first look at the main demon for this season, named "Baal" played by Joel Tobeck

Source : http://dailydead.com/starz-unleashes-the-demonic-wrath-of-baal-in-new-ash-vs-evil-dead-season-2-photo/


This season is starting to really shape up here to be something very interesting and is starting to really make season 1 look very bare bones in comparison, here's the press release info as well 

"[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Hell has come to earth as Starz gives a sneak peek of the character Baal, played by Joel Tobeck (“Sons of Anarchy,” The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) who appears in season two of the series. When Baal is released from the underworld, our team will face an enemy more powerful then then any that have come before. One with bigger plans than just destroying Ash as well as a secret link to Ruby (Lucy Lawless). It was recently announced that Season 2 will premiere Sunday, October 2 at 8:00PM ET."[/font]


So i looked into who Baal is....

RE: Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 General Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

I was going to post those when they came out but i felt those last two videos contained huge spoilers/big hints, but overall i loved these commercials as they are very tongue in cheek, Baal's and the last two are probably my favorite out of the bunch.

Spoiler

Tanya and Knowby's videos makes me wonder if we won't be time traveling near the end of this season as tanya's clothing is very retro looking.

RE: Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 General Discussion Thread [SPOILERS]

If neither Pablo nor Kelly get killed/leave this season then they are ruining the series.

To keep up the horror element non-walk on characters have to die.

Season 1 was getting goofy with the obviousness every walk-on you knew was going to die--the only surprise was the cop dying.

This is a big part of what actually made Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead popular, it's not rocket science.
