First, Ash's hand is possessed and he chops it off, replacing it with the iconic Evil Dead chainsaw arm. The Evil Dead ends with Ash getting attacked and presumably murdered by an unseen entity.Įvil Dead 2 has a few differences here. In the Army of Darkness timeline, Ash is concurrently hibernating due to a potion in a cave near this very castle. He and his friends traveled to the Knowby cabin, where the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (revealed in Ash Vs Evil Dead to be written by Lucy Lawless’ antagonist, Ruby) was discovered by Professor Raymond Knowby in 1981 along with the Kandarian dagger in the ruins of Kandar Castle. Ash Williams, in this timeline, was born in 1958.

The Evil Dead is the next part of the timeline. According to the priest, the only way for Ash to return to the future is to obtain the Evil Dead Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, which contains both spells - the one to return to the present day, and the one to stop the Deadites. Ash is speculated to be the answer to a prophecy, which denotes that he will be the redeemer who saves mankind from the Deadites. However, the start of the third film in the Evil Dead franchise is the beginning of the timeline's chronology, as, after the events of Evil Dead 2, Ash (Bruce Campbell) is transported back to the Middle Ages.Īsh is taken to a castle after having his weapons and chainsaw confiscated he is thought to be in league with Duke Henry, who is a Scottish man at war with the English knights, the knights who found Ash after he time-traveled through his Oldsmobile. Where the Evil Dead timeline starts is open to interpretation, as Evil Dead features time travel. Even by the standards of Ash Williams' already out-there Evil Dead adventures, Army of Darkness takes things to a whole new level of bizarre gory weirdness.

A good deal of why trying to watch the Evil Dead movies in order becomes confusing is down to Army of Darkness.
