Director Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films have solidified their status as cult classics, blending high camp, outrageous gore, and genuine scares. However, it's Bruce Campbell's pitch-perfect portrayal of Ash Williams that truly cemented the trilogy's place in horror movie history. While Campbell's finest performance as Ash might be in the 2015 TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead, which picks up the story of the chainsaw-handed demon-slayer 30 years after the events of Army of Darkness. As Halloween approaches, now is the perfect time to grab the series on Blu-ray, especially since you can get Ash vs. Evil Dead: The Complete Collection at a significant discount on Amazon.

In Army of Darkness, Ash was transported back to medieval Europe due to the Necronomicon's demonic magic, where he battled and ultimately vanquished the eponymous demonic army. When the show catches up with him, Ash is still working as a stock boy, but he quickly resumes his role as a demon-slayer when the Evil Dead return, threatening the entire world. Teaming up with coworkers Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), Ash reattaches his chainsaw prosthetic and resumes his battle against possessed monsters.

The Evil Dead series on Blu-ray pairs well with the recently released RetroRealms Arcade, a double-feature of side-scrolling horror games—one based on Halloween and the other on Ash vs. Evil Dead. GameSpot's Mark Delaney awarded RetroRealms Arcade an 8 out of 10, praising its tight controls, solid platforming, and excellent 16-bit graphical presentation. You can purchase the digital versions of RetroRealms Arcade and the Ash vs. Evil Dead and Halloween games now, but physical editions are also available for preorder.

The physical versions were initially set to launch alongside the digital release but were slightly delayed. The $50 Double Feature edition releases on October 25, while the $80 Special Edition releases on October 31. The $80 RetroRealms Special Edition includes:
