-Army of Darkness- 1993

This third installment in the Evil Dead series picks up with Ash as a captive regaling us with his unbelievable story (ED2). Ash is taken prisoner, mistaken for one of Duke Henry's men. Who, along with others is also taken captive by King Arthur. The prisoners are to be thrown into a pit which contains deadites. The first prisoner lasts but a few seconds before having his blood sprayed all over. Ash is next in the pit, but he stands his ground against the Evil and crawls out of the pit. This heroic feat gains Ash some respect. Our Hero then goes on a quest to find the Book of the Dead, because it is the only thing that will get him back home to his own time. In his quest Ash unleashes the Army of Darkness with his bumbling ways. Ash and King Arthur's army fight against the Army of Darkness, and in the end are victorious. The Screen fades back to S-Mart with an evil demon showing up wanting to eat Ash's soul, he makes quick work of this demon, and Army of Darkness ends.

Note:
The original ending had Ash swallowing 6 drops of a sleeping potion, while sealed in a cave with his car. Ash miscounts and swallows one drop too many. When he awakes and breaks free of his cave he finds a decimated Europe and yells out in agony.

This movie is more of a dark comedy with horror, than a straight horror film.
