Top Horror TV Series From the Last 25 Years as Ranked by IMDb Users18 of 20
3. "Ash vs Evil Dead" – Rating 8.6
Groovy! Bruce Campbell became a horror icon as Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead franchise, and Campbell returned to the role for this Starz series set 30 years after the first three movies. The comedy/horror show premiered on Halloween night in 2015, and got the green light for a third season, which is set to air later in 2017.
You may be surprised to see this one rank so high on the list, since it's more of a "cult classic" with episodes that average only about half a million viewers. But fans pushed it high with a 8.7 rating. That's only from some 26,000 users, which means it barely made the over-20K cut. But the people who watched Seasons 1 and 2 loved it enough to rate it high.
Here's one 10/10 user review:
"Was really hoping this was going to kick ass, and it certainly does. It's 'Evil Dead'-tastic. Fans of the films will certainly not be disappointed: Cheesy jokes, gore, and chainsaw/shotgun action against the Dead-ites abounds. It feels like a natural extension of 'Evil Dead 2,' with Ash gone to seed and feeling the miles as he straps on the shotgun to do battle again. Brilliant. The pacing, laughs, and splatters come thick and fast. It just feels right and is pitched at just the right level for the nostalgia crowd and the horror fans alike. Winner!!"
