'Cult classic horror movie Evil Dead 2* reinterpreted through the songs of Elvis**.
Just once (so far) Bruce Campbell performed as Elvis in the ‘soul-stealing mummy in a nursing home’ movie, Bubba Ho-Tep.
On rare occasions, it has been remarked that (Leicester Comedy Award Nominee) Rob Kemp bears a passing resemblance to Bruce Campbell*** (we’re not here to discuss the accuracy of this observation, just accept that it happened).
With enough regularity to consider it habit, Bruce Campbell has also appeared on-screen as Ash Williams in the Evil Dead movies (and TV show).
Every now and then, an idea will strike that will seem extremely absurd, and yet at the same time bizarrely fitting.
This being the case, the only logical thing to do is don a jumpsuit (blue and brown, naturally) and sing your way through as much of the plot as you can in 48 minutes.
If this is a concept that you feel will keep you engaged for 48 minutes, then it may be the show for you (JOIN US!)
If not, then it's probably best for both of us if you stay away (don't JOIN US!)
