De Amerikaanse TV serie Ash vs Evil Dead is simpel weg briljant te noemen, en is voor Bruce Campbell zijn terugkeer naar de rol waar hij wereldberoemd mee werd. Nu de grand finale van het eerste seizoen voor de deur staat, had de website Uproxx een interview met hem en daar van kan je hier onder alvast een stukje lezen.

What made you decide to come back to Ash and this world after 23 years?

We kept being pressured by fans to do something, so we tried and did a remake a few years ago. It was pretty well received and made some money, but it fell under the category of "close, but no cigar." Fans were very vocal about it and said, "Yeah, that's fine, but we want Ash and we want Sam." So, we kept toying with making another movie. Sam makes these giant movies now, so was there really going to be a $200 million Evil Dead? I don't think it would have fit. Rob Tapert's done a lot of TV. I've done a lot of TV. So, we brought it to Sam like that. Like, "What if we did this as a TV show?" People can get way more page count than they'd ever had before from a TV show.

You've got a great supporting cast, especially Dana DeLorenzo and Ray Santiago.

They're dual sidekicks. This first season was probably tougher on them than it was on me. They were going to have to deal with it no matter what they thought. We just made sure to pick actors we thought could bring it, both physically and mentally. That they could do humor, horror and that they were also very patient and willing to be covered with blood. There's a lot of physical discomfort. So, they passed the test wonderfully, and people have accepted those two. Jill Marie Jones, as well, and the great Lucy Lawless. She'll be playing a more defined role coming up.

At the beginning, people were always asking what we were doing with Ruby since she wasn't around all that much. That's because we had to work her in because she wasn't available for the first half of the season. She was working on Salem. So, we sort of shoehorned her into it; that's how bad we wanted her. Now that she's available, we can do her proper.
