Oct 31, 2016 · Ever wonder why Ash was dumb enough to go back to that cabin a second time in Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn after the events of The Evil Dead? Or why the ending of Evil Dead II doesn’t...
Evil Dead 1 and 2 were pretty clear both just taking place over 1 24 hour period or so. Army of Darkness however is where it gets tricky. I counted 3 days passed in AoD. The first day lasts from Ash’s arrival to the making of his hand.

The Evil Dead Has Expanded In Some Unexpected Ways
The Evil Dead's multi-century storyline has been built over decades. The franchise began all the way back in 1981, and it became an instant hit despite having a micro-budget. The Evil Dead had a budget of just $375,000, and that's clear from the DIY visuals and camerawork that established Sam Raimi's directorial style. Raimi directed Evil Dead II six years later, returning to the franchise after the box-office disappointment of Crimewave. Despite the time gap, Evil Dead II's horror comedy rem...
The Evil Dead Spans Centuries
The recurring antagonists of the Evil Dead franchise are the Deadites, a collection of undead parasites that possess the living and feast on the souls of people. The Deadites have been haunting humanity in service of their ancient master, the Kandarian Demon. Their widespread nature allows the Deadites to be unleashed anywhere and anywhen across human history. As a result, the franchise has been able to both chart the growth of a consistent character (Bruce Campbell's Ash Williams) and also s...
Putting The Evil In Medieval
A big reason that trying to watch the Evil Dead movies in order is tricky comes down to Army of Darkness. Even by the standards of Ash Williams' already out-thereadventures, Army of Darkness takes things to a whole new level of gory weirdness. The start of the third film in the Evil Dead franchise is the beginning of the timeline's chronology. After the events of Evil Dead 2, Ash (Bruce Campbell) is transported back to the Middle Ages. He spends much of the film in this setting, working to fi...
Why The Second Film Is A Remake Of The Original
The Evil Dead timeline was convoluted way before Army of Darkness. Raimi wasn't able to actually reqaccuire the rights to The Evil Dead for a prospective sequel. As a result, Evil Dead 2 was made as a "re-quel", essentially remaking The Evil Dead with new people and expanding the plot. The first five minutes of Evil Dead 2 is a remake, shot as a recap with different actors (except Bruce Campbell, who reprised his role as Ash Williams). Ash Williams was born in 1957, and in 1981 he and his fri...
All Hail The King
Another wrinkle in the timeline is the fact that Ash is technically alive twice in the same era. After defeating the Deadites in Army of Darkness, Ash is given a potion that will allow him to sleep for centuries until he returns to his own time. In the film canon, Ash sleeps for six centuries and re-awakens in 1982. He returns to his regular life afterward, resuming his job back at the S-Mart. It's a goofy ending for the film, especially when a Deadite attacks Ash and he's forced to jump righ...
Same Cabin, New Victims
Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead is considered canon in the Evil Dead timeline. Alvarez stated that it continues the first movie but in a modern setting. According to Alvarez, the coincidences between his version and the original 1981 version are deliberate "dark fates" created by the Necronomicon. As such, when Mia and her friends arrive at the Knowby cabin, certain things — such as Ash's rusting car — are apparent. The biggest difference is that Mia's parents are apparently the current owners of th...
Ash Is Back
Ash vs. Evil Dead is set approximately 30 years after the first three Evil Dead films, and takes place over a contained period of time. Three decades after his first encounter with the supernatural, Ash Williams is working as a stock boy at Value Stop. The central threat of the series is a Deadite plague that threatens to destroy the world. Ash must gather new allies to help him fight the evil that he's already been attempting to stop for decades (and technically centuries) At the culmination...
A Haunting In The Big City
The fifth movie in the franchise, Evil Dead Rise is far less directly connected to Ash. The film follows Beth as she struggles to protect her nephew and nieces from their mother Ellie, who has turned into a Deadite. The plot is set in motion after the teenage Danny discovers a book in the bowels of a building that summons demonic flesh-possessing demons. This book seems to be one of the three Necronomicon that was seen in Army of Darkness, the second of which appeared in 2013's Evil Dead. The...

Throughout the show’s run Ash must once again battle the evil dead and he’s joined by a few surprising coasters, including Samara Weaving and Lucy Lawless (aka Xena the Warrior Princess).
Apr 20, 2023 · Ash vs Evil Dead (2015-2018) By the time we get to the franchise's one and only show, Ash's tenure as the king of Deadite-slaying has faded as he's gotten older.
