Scream Factory has announced on their Facebook page that they will be releasing a collector’s edition blu-ray of Army of Darkness coming this October.

Today will be one of the more memorable days in our brand’s history that’s for sure! If you’re still trying to catch your breath from our recent announcement of the upcoming Tales From the Crypt films, then steel yourself for the following…ARMY OF DARKNESS – the third film in the Evil Dead franchise, starring Bruce Campbell – is coming to Blu-ray “Scream Factory-style” in October! We will certainly aim to make it the most definitive version to own to date.

We know you’ll have lots of questions on this one but we have no concrete details to report at this moment other than that newly-commissioned artwork (yes, its a “Collector’s Edition”) and pre-order links will be up next month and a full list of extras and specs will appear in early Fall.

There are no spec details yet but we’ll keep you updated!

Joseph LoDuca is returning to his roots to score the soundtrack for Ash vs Evil Dead. Joseph sits down with Daniel Schweiger of Film Music Magazine to talk about his work.

Few composers who continually get pulled back into a genre that gave them birth have as much fun both screaming, and laughing about continually being clawed by their fateful, creative relationship than Joseph LoDuca. Born in Michigan around the same time as another native with whom he’d be joined at the hip, LoDuca was well into fulfilling his rock and roll aspirations with the big town likes of Jeff Beck and Bob Seger before getting the call to enter a possessed cabin in the backwoods. The result of his impressively frenetic, orchestral score done a dime was the beginning of horror history for both LoDuca and Sam Raimi, whose “Evil Dead” series spun both men into Hollyweird careers. LoDuca would become one of the hardest working composers in terms of TV hours on such sword-and-sandal, Raimi-produced series like “Xena,” “Hercules” and “Spartacus,” in addition to the modern-day adventures of “The Librarians” and “Leverage” amongst his monstrously prolific credits.

Michael Bassett, the director of Ash vs Evil Dead has revealed on his instagram what The Necronomicon looks like on the show for the first time:

Dynamite Entertainment has announced they will be release a four issue crossover of the classic comic Vampirella and Army of Darkness. Written by Mark Rahner and drawn by Jethro Morales, the first issue will be available this July with three variant covers.

The events of Vampirella / Army of Darkness take place during Ash Williams’ time trapped in the England of 1300 A.D. When the terrified, primitive screwheads approach the Chosen One with tales of a horrific flying Deadite — one similar to the one he blasted out of the air when first arrived, but much deadlier — Ash sets out with his boomstick and chainsaw to protect his adopted people. At the same time, a raven-haired temptress wants to give him some sugar… as his last meal!
