EVIL DEAD is a series with a huge cult following, especially to Bruce Campbell. Remove the man and you have nothing.
Stop giving money to those scammers and maybe they'll start to do something original.

I don't think Bruce wants to do it anymore, but some kind of "hand off" built into the movie would be a good idea.
Bruce has said he's officially retired from playing Ash, although I think he has recorded some voice work as Ash since saying that.

Wes Craven made maybe 3 good movies.
To me, he made more than 3 good movies...
2. Scream (1996) (5/5)
...
5. New Nightmare (1994) (4/5)
6. The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) (4/5)
7. The People Under the Stairs (1991) (4/5)
...
16. Swamp Thing (1982) (3/5)
...

I had forgotten SCREAM (1996) which I thought was great.  THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS was... okay, but so gross.  I liked NEW NIGHTMARE better than any of the others in the series... SWAMP THING has ADRIENNE BARBEAU.  'Nough said.   :thumbup:

Wes was like Tobe Hopper. He made one classic-the TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974). EATEN ALIVE (1976) was a fun sickie. After that...it's all down hill. I don't think he had much say so in POLTERGEIST (1982).LIFE FORCE (1985) was a mess. Hopper had lost his roots big time.
Wes Craven was putting his name on all sorts of s**t in later years- "Wes Craven presents" usually meant garbage.
It was like when Gold Key comics put out a line of comic books with Boris Karloff the host- in bad art form.
Some of the worst horror comics of the 60's and 70's.
Bad art. Story telling along the lines of someone telling an old spook story around a campfire if your 7.
I bought quite a few of these when I was 7.  :lookingup:

I thought that Wes Craven did some good films, but was often let down by his endings.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

I don't know about this...

sequels that come out much later then the previous installments have a tendency to be crap

I don't know. I mean, the Creed movies were pretty good. They had Rocky Balboa in them so I consider them to be canon and direct Rocky sequels, and there was a good nine year gap between Rocky Balboa (2006) and Creed (2015), for example. But then again, that's probably the only good example that I can think of.

those and Blade Runner 2049 are exceptions to the rule

for everyone one of those they are several piles of puke like Rocky 5, Puppet Master: The Legacy, and Puppet Master: Axis Termination

People usually toss Fury Road on there too.  Sometimes the Color of Money.  Maybe Rambo.  Trainspotting 2.  Borat 2.  Doctor Sleep.  Bill & Ted 3 (well, I liked it anyway).

I'd still say there's quite a few more misses than hits, and the misses are typically BIG misses so they really stick out.

I've read a bunch of those comics. 

They are the least scary horror comics I've ever seen.  I've seen Scooby Doo comics that were scarier. 
Having a celebrity host the comics just doesn't mean the same thing when the celebrity isn't actually there.

i think i have one of those issues as well, but as for Evil Dead 4 no Bruce i doubt it will be any good, now i may be wrong i admit that but Bruce Campbell is Evil Dead if they are gonna do a 4th film he needs to be in it i know he's in his what 60's now but no Ash no Evil 4 in my book
