GET SCREAM FACTORY'S GROOVY 3-DISC COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF "ARMY OF DARKNESS" ON OCTOBER 27TH!
I am a lifelong fan of Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD series, and I've purchased all three films so many times, in so many formats. Thankfully, with the rise of Blu-ray disc, I've gotten relatively definitive editions of the first two films. All that stood in my way of having the ultimate high-def collection of the original EVIL DEAD TRILOGY, was the lack of a be-all and end-all ARMY OF DARKNESS Blu-ray release.
Until now.....
Film Synopsis: Back to do battle with the hideous "Deadites," Bruce Campbell returns to the role of Ash, the handsome, shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed department store clerk from S-Mart's housewares division. Demonic forces time warp him – and his '73 Oldsmobile – into England's Dark Ages, where he romances a beauty (Embeth Davidtz, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and faces legions of the undead. Can Ash save the living from the evil dead, rescue his girlfriend, and get back to his own time?
On October 27, 2015, SCREAM FACTORY is proud to present ARMY OF DARKNESS Collector’s Edition, featuring the Theatrical Cut of the film, the Director’s Cut (with 15 minutes of extra footage), the International Cut and the TV version (in standard definition).
