With major studio backing behind them, the Renaissance boys were able to fill the cast and crew of Army Of Darkness with a long list of seasoned professionals, as well as a smattering of collaborators from their previous films.

Among the cast, the film was the American debut of South African actress Embeth Davidtz, who went on to great acclaim for her roles in Schindler's List and Junebug, among others. Nonetheless, she has gone on to say that Army Of Darkness is still the film she is most recognised for. Among the other character actors in the film were genuine British actors such as Marcus Gilbert (Rambo III) and Ian Abercrombie (now infamous for a recurring guest role in Seinfeld), as well as Americans like Richard Grove and Michael Earl Reid (who memorably starred in a 1982 "dollar baby" short film based on Stephen King's story The Boogeyman). Patricia Tallman, who played the Deadite Witch, is actually a stuntwoman appearing in many TV & films productions, but is probably best known for her leading role as Barbara in Tom Savini's remake of Night Of The Living Dead, and a subsequent leading role in the US TV show Babylon 5. In amidst the more experienced actors were old favourites like Ted Raimi (playing at least five different roles!) and high school friend Timothy Patrick Quill.

Army Of Darkness was Sam's second collaboration with cinematographer Bill Pope, after Darkman, and they'd go on to work together on the second and third instalment of the Spider-Man franchise. Incidentally, Bill shot The Matrix, sandwiched in between the two, which features a helicopter sequence very similar to that of Darkman. Bob Murawski would not only edit many of Sam's films afterwards (including the Spider-Man series), but also founded distributor Grindhouse Releasing with Sage Stallone; which is touring a recent theatrical re-release of The Evil Dead throughout the US.

The enigmatically-named co-editor, R.O.C. Sandstorm, is in fact Sam under a pseudonym. The production's costume designer; Ida Gearon, was at the time recently-wed to none other than Bruce Campbell. (The pair met whilst filming a previous film; Mindwarp, and are still together to this day.)

The Fake Shemps list is largely filled with names of friends who either appeared as peasant extras in the castle (Josh Becker, Bill Vincent, and Bruce's father Charlie Campbell for example) or fellow filmmakers roped in to appear as S-Mart customers in the re-shot upbeat ending (William Lustig and Bernard Rose). The woman who Ash takes into his arms in the S-Mart ending, is Canadian actress Angela Featherstone, who for some reason went uncredited in her first of many film roles. Before the editing & budget cutbacks took over, Charles Napier also had a small prologue role as Ash's mean S-Mart boss.

Here is a transcript of the end credits of Army Of Darkness, formatted as per the original – the volume of credits compared to it's predecessors is testament to how far the Renaissance boys' careers had come in just ten years.
