Lionsgate has announced that they’ll be releasing The Evil Dead Groovy Collection on November 16th, bringing Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II to 4K UHD in a box set that will also include all three seasons of the television series Ash vs. Evil Dead on Blu-ray.
Sadly, that means Army of Darkness is being left out, so this box set could be referred to as “the incomplete adventures of Ash Williams”, but Scream Factory is already working on bringing Army of Darkness to 4K UHD as well.
Here’s how The Evil Dead Groovy Collection is described:
Horror fans, return to that iconic cabin in the woods, then travel decades beyond it, with this Evil Dead Groovy Collection. Wisecracking ladies’ man Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) is reborn as a slayer of Deadites in The Evil Dead (4K + Blu-ray) after a vacation in the country is ruined by the reading of an ancient demon-summoning text. In Evil Dead II (4K + Blu-ray), a chainsaw-armed Ash is pushed to the brink of madness by unhinged evil yet again, while “Ash vs Evil Dead” (Blu-ray) follows an older, grayer Ash over three wild seasons as he reckons with his bloody past in the face of a Deadite plague. Includes The Evil Dead Bonus Content DVD, with over three hours of features revisiting the film’s cast, crew, and undying legacy.
