Still trying to think of what to put on the poll for next Saturday #Scarefest ... battle of the 80's slasher franchises? It's going to happen, sooner or later. Mose well be sooner, perhaps...

“During filming of the climactic sword fight at Arthur's castle, Bruce Campbell suffered a small gash to his face when a decorative pin on his cape cut him during a stunt. He was immediately taken from the Polsa Rosa Ranch location to see a plastic surgeon to assess the damage. At the examination the doctor had to have the actual injury pointed out amid the myriad special effect scars and cuts Ash's character had accumulated during the story.”
“During the scene where Ash is being pelted with rocks, fake rocks were used, but to get a more realistic reaction out of Bruce Campbell (and partially as a prank), director Sam Rami pelted him with potatoes. This cut was used.” - IMDB
“Bruce Campbell says that in order to make it appear that the chainsaw was always running, tobacco smoke was pumped through a tube that was slid up his right pant leg, up his shirt, and into the chainsaw.” - IMDB
“The original end saw Ash time hop once again, but this time to a post-apocalyptic London, hinting at a fourth Evil Dead film where Ash fights demons and ghouls in a ravaged, ruined future. All of this led to Army of Darkness becoming slightly notorious for having four different versions released to the public: the U.S. theatrical cut, the European theatrical version, Director's Cut (future ending), and a U.S. television release.” - IGN
“The plot of Ash being transported the medieval ages and having to fight Deadites to return home was originally Sam Raimi's initial plot for Evil Dead II (1987). However, he was forced to keep the plot set at the cabin in The Evil Dead (1981) to make the film's budget affordable.“ - IMDB

Sam Raimi originally wanted to call the film THE MEDIEVAL DEAD, but Universal Pictures refused. Irvin Shapiro, the uncredited producer of The Evil Dead (1981) and executive producer of Evil Dead II (1987), came up with “ARMY OF DARKNESS,”with Raimi then planning to make that the subtitle, but the studio wanted the film to stand on its own from the rest of the series. - via IMDB

ARMY OF DARKNESS was originally released in the UK as ARMY OF DARKNESS: THE MEDIEVAL DEAD, While in Japan it was released as CAPTAIN SUPERMARKET.

Back later with trivia for ARMY OF DARKNESS!
Don’t forget Saturday #Scarefest starts at 6:00 PM US Central Standard time zone!
“There are a couple of Wes Craven Easter Eggs in the first two Evil Dead movies but the biggest one comes in the 1987 rebootquel Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn, when Freddy Krueger's glove can be prominently seen hanging in the work shed. Makeup artist Mark Shostrom, who was also working on A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors at the same time, borrowed the glove from the Dream Warriors set for a day and gave Dead by Dawn an added bit of Elm Street elegance.” - IGN
“A combination of heat and the cumbersome suit made the production extremely difficult for Ted Raimi. He would quickly become overheated and profusely sweat in the suit. The special effects team would have to pour the liters of sweat out of the suit into Styrofoam cups at the end of the shoot every day. In the climax of the film, the sweat can be seen pouring out of Henrietta's ear when she's flying through the air attacking Annie.” - IMDB
“The zombified Henrietta was actually played by Sam Raimi's little brother, Ted Raimi. He was forced to wear an extremely heavy full-body latex suit. With the addition of eye lenses and fake teeth, the only body part of Ted's the audience can see is his tongue when his mouth is open.” - IMDB
