[edit] Plot
About 12 years after the events of "Hail to the King" Ash Williams (voiced by Bruce Campbell) is sitting in his favorite bar at the red light district having a few drinks when a special "Live" episode of Mysteries of the Occult starts at the local television station. Trisha Pettywood hosts, a journalist out to expose the truth of The Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
The best-selling occult author Professor Alex Elridge, colleague of the late Professor Knowby, is featured on the live show. It is decided to play Knowby's old tape on the air as a special 'treat' for the viewers. Ash, knowing this will summon monsters, tries to have the reading stopped but it is for naught. A 'Vortex of the Dead' opens, unleashing Deadites and other monsters into Dearborn, Michigan.
Ash heads into battle with his chainsaw, shotgun(a.k.a. boomstick) and trademark wit. He is helped for a time by a local priest, who gives him advice. Sadly, the priest falls victim to the Deadites.
