Hail to the king, baby! Bruce Lorne Campbell, who turns fifty-four
today, has been entertaining us for a little over thirty years, forty if
you reach all the way back to his work in the short, Oedipus Rex. He's enlivened such classic characters as Jack Forrest, Brisco County Jr., old Elvis Presley, Sam Axe, the Final Shemp in Darkman,
and of course, Snooty Usher. Of all his roles he is best known for
Ashley 'Ash' Williams and his never-ending battle against the Army of
Darkness.
After battling an ancient evil he unleashed from the Necronomicon, a.k.a
Book of the Dead, Ash (Bruce Campbell) and his '73 Oldsmobile Delta 88
are sucked back to 1300 A.D. He is 'greeted' by Lord Arthur (Marcus
Gilbert) and his men and taken to their castle to be tossed in the Pit.
The Pit isn't a spa for guests, but a dank hole filled with Deadites.
Ash rises up and takes charge, proving himself to be the prophesied
Chosen One as proclaimed by Arthur's Wiseman (Ian Abercrombie). The
Wiseman wishes Ash to quest for the Necronomicon which will deliver them
from evil, but Ash only wants the book so they can return him to his
own time and his job at S-Mart. One little book, three simple words; how
could anything possibly go wrong?
Rendezvous...
