“Ash vs Evil Dead”: Bruce Campbell Throws a Chainsaw Kegger!
The first season of “Ash vs Evil Dead” ended with Bruce Campbell’s Ash making a deal with Ruby, which leads to his friends’ safety, and his retirement in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a bit anticlimactic, but also sort of hilarious.
The second season is deep into production, and apparently kicks off with a kegger and Ash being the life of the party. The above first shot shows our “hero” chainsawing a keg of beer in half. No demons in sight, but they’re coming…
“When you have a chain-saw hand, this is how you tap a keg,” executive producer Craig DiGregorio said of the new photo, adding that Ash unfortunately won’t be able to relax for long, as “the party is cut short when he must return home to continue the fight against evil.”
There’s a lot to celebrate in the forthcoming Season 2 as Lee Majors will play the role of Brock Williams, Ash’s father, and Michelle Hurd was cast as the high school sweetheart. Cult horror movie favorite Ted Raimi will also join the second season as Ash’s childhood best friend, Chet Kaminski.
Oh, and here’s the synopsis!
The cast is led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, “Burn Notice”) in the role of Ash Williams; Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Spartacus”) as Ruby, who now possesses the powerful Necronomicon; Ray Santiago (“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, Ash’s loyal sidekick dealing with the trauma he suffered in the cabin; and Dana DeLorenzo (Harold and Kumar Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, who, grief-stricken after the death of her parents, plots revenge against The Evil Dead.
There’s not much there, but I like that Sam Raimi and company are building out the Williams family tree and it will be interesting to see what an all-powerful Deadite (Ruby) will be like in the second season.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
