[[Memetic Badass\|Because he's Ash]]."''\|''[http://www.badassoftheweek.com/ash.html Badass of the Week]''}} In 1979, a bunch of kids got together in a cabin in Tennessee and made a film with a standard [[B-Movie]] plot; this film was '''''The Evil Dead'''''. The film, which was directed by [[Sam Raimi]] (of ''[[Spider-Man (film)\|Spider-Man]]'' fame), and starred [[Bruce Campbell]] (who is most associated with this series), managed to make enough money to warrant two sequels and get into the public consciousness. The result of the two sequels was a strange blend where [[Narm Charm]] meets [[Rule of Cool]]. Line 12 ⟶ 13: The third film catapulted Ash into pop culture popularity; there are four videogames, tons of comic book adaptions (including [[Crossover\|crossovers]] with [[Marvel Comics\|Marvel Zombies]] and [[Xena: Warrior Princess\|Xena]], as well as ''[[Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash]]''), a [[Role-Playing Game]] under the Unisystem umbrella, and '''[http://www.evildeadthemusical.com/ a Broadway musical]''' all based on Ash and the ''Evil Dead'' trilogy.
