Forrest Batson (USA)

(Last updated May 1, 2017)

Forrest is more of a general movie collector, but purchased this screen-used Evil Dead II Ash oversized effects head around 1990 on Ebay from an effects artist for around a thousand dollars. The head was constructed soley for the brief close-up shot of the evil fog draining from Ash's eye. He saw Evil Dead II theatrically about seven times as a fifteen-year-old, and has owned various VHS, Laserdisc & Blu-Ray versions. He's met Sam Raimi three times; twice at conventions, and once at an LA theatre screening put on by the late Eric Caidin, and has a cast signed Army Of Darkness poster, and a Raimi signed Evil Dead II poster.

(Last updated January 9, 2018)

Elise resides in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She's been collecting since 2007 and specialises in officially licensed merchandise, promotional items & on-set items. She's not quite as fond of collecting various versions of the films with the exception of laserdiscs. She runs her own Evil Dead fansite; TheDeaditeSlayer.com, which has been in operation since September of 2011. She also keeps a Photobucket Album cataloguing her ever growing collection. She's had the pleasure of meeting the entire cast of The Evil Dead in person, and stays in contact with other various cast and crew members who she's interviewed for her site. The site has garnered the attention of fans & media alike, including Starz which gave her the chance to give out tickets for the world premiere of Ash vs Evil Dead in Los Angeles.

Alex Lanco (Australia)

(Last updated May 1, 2017)

Alex First saw The Evil Dead on home video in 1983 at the age of eight. He liked it so much that it left a lasting impression, and is still his favourite film of all time. He's been collecting various video and DVD releases since he was 15, which he still has to this day. It wasn't until 2011 that he decided to start collecting full time, with a personal goal to see how far he could take it. He collects most things Evil Dead related, particularly the various media releases from around the world.

Jesper Mørch (Denmark)

(Last updated May 1, 2017)

Jesper first saw The Evil Dead on VHS in 1986. A friend gave him a bootleg copy of A Nightmare On Elm Street, Pt2, and The Evil Dead was also on that tape. The quality was less than impressive but at the end he knew he'd seen something really unique & original. Today he still feels the first movie has an atmosphere all its own. He collects stills & lobby cards from a number of movies, and especially loves Italian genre movies. Among his favourite pieces are his homemade Book Of The Dead, cabin site souvenirs and a series of rare behind-the-scenes stills from The Evil Dead. He doesn't collect anything from Army Of Darkness or Ash Vs Evil Dead.

David Munoz (Texas)

(Last updated January 31, 2020)

David always loved the Evil Dead movies, as well as horror & special effects. He was the perfect age for the boom in home video; the explosion in horror movies, especially the many advances in special effects in the early 80's. The original Evil Dead blew him away, and vividly remembers bouncing off the walls when it was announced that part II would happen. The humour was so different to the first movie, but he loved every crazy minute of it. He felt Army of Darkness was the perfect blend of everything. Over time he started finding a prop here and a prop there, mostly on eBay. He joined some prop websites and eventually participated in a few online auctions. With a lot of luck (and debt), he managed to build a modest collection of props mainly centred around Army of Darkness. Screen used items of note in his collection include; three stop motion skeletons, several helmets, Deadite armour, two additional Deadite suits worn by actors, the miniature battering ram, a couple of latex buckets which hit Bruce in the Windmill scene, and a skeleton arm that torments Bruce in the graveyard. He also has the original flying eyeball from Evil Dead II.

Michael Witchy (UK)

(Last updated November 15, 2020)

Michael has been collecting since 1983, back when he first saw The Evil Dead. That started with magazine articles, and his collection has been growing ever since. He won his favourite piece in Total Film Magazine's 'UK's biggest Evil Dead fan' competition; an original painting by Graham Humphreys, and adds his Elite master tapes are pretty special too. He has a great mix of fantastically rare, and more common items, but does tent to sway towards The Evil Dead related material.
