Horror fans are also well-served in terms of nostalgia. Evil Dead made quite an impact on fans when it came out in 1981. The franchise went a little bit more for dark humor with its second movie, while keeping a horrifying and gruesome atmosphere… Before embracing a completely cartoonesque vibe with the third movie happening during the Middle Ages. And Ash (played by Bruce Campbell) made his comeback in 2015 to once again face the diabolical book. However, this time, in Ash vs Evil Dead, he can count on the help of his two colleagues who work with him in a home improvement store. The show lasted for three seasons.
