Despite what Arthur’s wise man (Ian Abercrombie) said about Ash being the possible hero who was foretold to save them, he is forced into an ominous pit as his fate. He is taken back to Arthur’s castle along with Duke Henry and awaits to be executed. Ash is suspected of being an agent for, and imprisoned with, Duke Henry The Red (Richard Grove) who Lord Arthur is at war with.

Instead of the previous film’s cliffhanger of Ash killing a flying demon creature and becoming the regretful saving grace of 13th century medieval England, he becomes a forlorn prisoner for Lord Arthur (Marcus Gilbert). Released in 1992 and taking place directly after the events of “Evil Dead II,” the film begins where the last left off… sorta. However, “Army of Darkness” doesn’t tend to reach the same levels of iconicity that the first and second had. With a substantially larger budget than the already larger budgeted “Evil Dead II,” with $11 million Raimi was able to break away from the small simple one location set designs of the previous movies for much more grandiose scenes/settings and technical achievements in “Army of Darkness.” Filled with more puppets, monsters, models, stop-motion, makeup effects, and explosions, it is the largest film of the series.
