Since we’ve officially made it past all of the “on October 3rd he asked me what day it was” memes, we can transition into celebrating Autumn and Halloween the best way we know how– with horror films.
In 1978, Sam Raimi wrote, directed, and produced a low-budget short film called “Within the Woods.” After convincing a Detroit theater manager to play the film alongside “Rocky Horror,” it gained interest, garnered a remake, and launched the successful “Evil Dead” franchise. Now, just in time for a fall evening scary movie marathon, Scream Factory is releasing “Army of Darkness Collector’s Edition” on 4K UHD and Blu-Ray in a limited edition steelbook.
“Army of Darkness,” which is the third film in the franchise, sees Bruce Campbell return as Ash. This time, however, he is transported to the medieval days. While facing legions of the undead, Ash is sent on a perilous mission to recover the Book of the Dead. Will he be able to save the living from the evil dead, rescue his girlfriend, and get back to his own time? You’ll have to watch to find out and we are giving you the opportunity to do just that.
We’ve teamed up with Shout Factory to give our readers the chance to win one of three copies of the film.
