Sam Raimi’s ‘Army of Darkness’ Cements Ash as the Indiana Jones of Horror [Halloweenies Podcast]
“Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I *am* king.” The Halloweenies are back to hail to the king that is Bruce Campbell. In the second of two episodes dedicated to Sam Raimi‘s Army of Darkness, the gang celebrates one of horror’s greatest and unlikeliest heroes in Ashley Williams.
“He’s the Indiana Jones of the horror genre,” they proudly declare as the four pick up where they left off last week. Together, they weigh in on Campbell’s impeccable Arthurian turn before digressing on the film’s curious cast, tracing the strings behind its greatest graphics, singling out its grooviest kill, and, finally, rating it with chainsaws.
