Ash vs. Evil Dead
Purple music is prominently featured in the new installment of the Evil Dead horror comedy franchise — TV series Ash vs. Evil Dead. The first episode theme was Space Truckin’, with Highway Star featured in the second.
For all the wrong reasons. Creator Sam Raimi explains:
When my brother Ivan and I were writing the character, and asking where he’d been for the last 30-35 years, we realized he had not grown. He stopped his development. My brother said the music should reflect the last time he was engaged in society, and living. My brother and editor chose those different pieces to reflect his lack of growth.
By that time frame they might as well use Perfect Strangers next…
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I drove a very similar car (Olds) cranking the same tunes back in the day!! I wasn’t fighting the “deadites” or evil dead.

I’m sure it’s about 70s rock in general and they chose these tracks at random. There are worse ways of getting attention for your music. Machinehead was already getting some serious attention on television this way, since SOTW featured in the season’s finale of the Better Call Saul tv show.

Best Lines:
“Shoot first, think never!”
“I got two hands…I need two beers!”
This is getting good! 🙂
