So this was announced today for Starz. It’s not exactly Evil Dead 4, but it’s certainly as close as we’re going to get now. And yes, it appears there is no “the” before Evil Dead. Odd. Anyway, it is from Sam Raimi and it does star Bruce Campbell, so that is pretty awesome. Sam Raimi is going to direct the first episode, but I am hearing there will only be 10 _half-hour_ episodes. Half-hour? Whaaaat? [Ash vs. Evil Dead](http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/10/evil-dead-tv-series-starring-bruce-campbell-coming-to-starz) ---

I think half-hour episodes could be great, in fact it might even be better if they’re variable-length but not more than 25 minutes. Would like to see more than 10 if there’s a chance of that, though. Could the title be riffing on ‘Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness’? ---

There should be one where he fights Suburgatory to prove there’s only one real Evil Dead. Come get some. ---

> [@panamajack](#): > > Could the title be riffing on ‘Bruce Campbell vs. Army of Darkness’? Or Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash, or Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness, or… The first movie had “the,” the second did not. If we are thinking it means the monsters, they are more properly “Deadites” as of the third movie. ---
