ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992) | Sam Raimi, Part 5

After the success of DARKMAN, both Universal Pictures and Dino De Laurentiis — who'd produced EVIL DEAD 2 — were willing to move forward on a new entry into the EVIL DEAD franchise.
The third EVIL DEAD film, which would eventually be titled ARMY OF DARKNESS, moved the franchise even further from its gritty exploitation horror roots and into the world of Harryhausen-inspired fantasy adventure, but with Raimi and Campbell's signature humor intact.
In this episode, we'll discuss the creation of ARMY OF DARKNESS, including all of the ups and downs of its production, delayed release, and eventual ascension to cult classic status.
