Hail to the Chin! Today Universal has blessed us with a form of something we’ve been asking for since they started using IPs at HHN. We’ll finally be able to start lollygagging with our favorite chainsaw for hand horror icon, Ash Williams. Ash vs Evil Dead, the television continuation of the Evil Dead on Starz network, currently going on it’s third season, will become a haunted maze at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Ash at Halloween Horror Nights, you may remember a small Army of Darkness scene in the Silver Screams maze back in 2009.
I’m sure we’ll get a ton of memorable scenes and if we are lucky enough, we’ll get a chance to see Ash and the legendary Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale save us from the Necronomicon and a bunch of deadites! For the most part I expected this house to happen last year and even put out a tweet.
While I'm at it, can we get @AshvsEvilDead to grace our wonderful event?

I’m a big fan of the show and @GroovyBruce so naturally the first thing I did was check his schedule on his website to see what the possible dates for a surprise visit would be and sure enough he’s free for opening night!

ORLANDO, Fla., UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. (July 27, 2017) – For the first time ever, the critically-acclaimed television series “Ash vs Evil Dead” from Starz, a Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B) company, will summon Deadites to a new haunted maze at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood, beginning September 15.
The “Ash vs Evil Dead” maze will transport guests into the town of Elk Grove, Mich., where they will encounter Deadites – people or objects possessed by evil demons – that have been unwittingly unleashed by Ash Williams – again.
