The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness

Ok folks, if anyone here can help me figure this out, please do…

If you go to us.imdb.com and look up any of these three movies:
The Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2:Dead by Dawn
Army of Darkness

you will see in the cast list a bunch of people credited as “fake shemp”. What in the hell is a “fake shemp?” Is this some kind of joke? Unca Cece! Help!

mmm, evil dead… #2’s my favorite…
and, no, i can’t answer your question. just thought I’d share my opinions on the movies, though.

Go ye forth and become knowledgeable!

From the horse’s mouth (Bruce Campbell). http://www.bruce-campbell.com/ go to “All About BC” then “Manifesto” - he explains it all.

hijack, but a short one.

there are so many things about the evil dead trilogy that i love, but thiws is one that always sticks in my head. watch the opening scene of AOD- ash falls from the sky, and HE AND HIS CAR LAND AT THE SAME TIME!!!

that is a great fucking shot. must have been a bitch to get right, though.
