Evil Dead: The Musical

By now it's become trendy in our generation to respect (see: dorkish admiration) the now cult legendary works of Bruce Campbell (see: Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, etc..) .

But now there is a new homage to the greatness that is the quirky and frightening surreal Evil Dead series.

Evil Dead: The Musical... yes, that's right. Our favorite one-handed eviscerator of evil Ash is being further immortalized in musical form thanks to this new Off-Broadway show.

The show begins October 2nd at New York NY's New World Stages with tickets ranging in price from $26-$66 depending on whether or not you want to sit in the "splatter zone" or not.

S..P..L..A..T..T..E..R.. Z..O..N..E..

That is amazing, it will be like seeing Gwar, only, instead of Gwar there will be Ash, and instead of musical instruments it will be chainsaws. Other than that I expect the performances to be very closely related.

As an aside to any fanboys out there, will will unfortunately not have the luck of experiencing first hand the acting expertise *cough* of our beloved Bruce Campbell, as our shot-gun toting hero will be played by Ryan Ward, a seemingly experienced Ash role-player.

"See this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger."

Check it out, and support your local killer of evil-type things, I'll see you there.
