In our continued celebration of the upcoming Halloween premier of Ash vs Evil Dead, Zombie of the Week has been overrun by Deadites! We’re bringing you our favorite Deadites from across the franchise!
This week we’re acknowledging the oft-maligned (even by us, read our review at our sister site, DepressedPress.com) 2013 reboot. Despite our being unable to forgive that one damn scene, the remake wasn’t truly that bad. In it troubled Mia (Jane Levy), a recovering addict, is the target of the evil. She’s possessed, says and does some very naughty things, gets better and is attacked by her evil doppelgänger, the abomination.
The message is clear kids: don’t do drugs.

This week we’re honoring those brave souls that took arms – and only arms – against Ash in the cemetery of the Necronomicon in Army of Darkness. When Ash, despite his very best (honest!) effort, was unable to recite the magical words correctly he released the Army of the Deadites. Those brave deadites immediately, viciously and hilariously attacked the interloper:

The first official trailer for Seth Grahame-Smith’s horror Pride and Prejudice and Zombies [IMDB] has been released. We’re still withholding final judgement, but at the moment this looks like it might be a fun (if empty-ended) ride!
There’s no official release date yet, but smart bets seem to be on early 2016!

We continue with another featured deadite from Evil Dead 2, Ed Getley. Ed was Prof. Knowby’s assistant and helped to excavate the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. He began dating the professor’s daughter, Annie, and accompanied her to the cabin when she lost contact with her parents. After turning, “Evil Ed”, as the fans dubbed him, started chanting his famous refrain:
“We are the Things that were, and shall be again! Ha ha ha ha ha! Spirits of The Book! We want what is yours! LIFE! Dead by Dawn! Dead by Dawn!”

Featured in Evil Dead 2, Henrietta was wife of Prof. Raymond Knowby, principle researcher of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. When he suggested that they spend a nice weekend up at the cabin, she jumped at the chance. Sure, he was taking a little work with him, but this would be a chance for them to work on their marriage and maybe rekindle their stagnant love affair. Nights by the fireplace, breakfast in bed and long walks in the woods. Instead, he decided to read aloud from the Book of the Dead.
Henrietta’s first romantic getaway in years began with her being possessed by an ancient, primeval horror and ended with her being murdered by her husband and buried in the basement. Is it a surprise that she was a little cranky when Ash and his friends showed up and woke up her corpse? Isn’t she the real victim here? Isn’t she?!

As the New York Times reports, China is now arresting people creating hoaxes on social media after a rash of scares. Apparently, in addition to a refrigerated alien in Shandong Province and a hairless, lemur-elf-thing in the Huairou District of Beijing there have been no less that two high profile zombie reports that have gained traction with the population.
In one case photos of a mummified corpse found by archaeologists was promoted as evidence of a zombie outbreak. In a second case, photos from an apparent subway zombie attack of a woman in the city of Guangzhou were published. Some reports claim the photos were of an actual assault, while others pin them as stills from a low-budget movie. Whatever the case may be, the man who posted them as a zombie attack spent 10 days in prison.
The moral of the story is clear: if you get attacked by a zombie in China, you might want to keep it to yourself.
