Evil Dead 2 (9:30pm ET/PT): The 1987 sequel in which Ash, the lone survivor of the original demon attack, returns. Armed with a chainsaw and a shotgun, he again must fight the evil dead when a group of strangers interrupt his romantic vacation in a lonely cabin in the woods.

Army of Darkness (10:55pm ET/PT): In the 1992 third installment, our hero, Ash, is transported back in time to 1300 A.D. and once again faces off against the evil unleashed. In order to return to the present and get back home, he must take up his chainsaw and “boomstick” to defeat the Deadites and return the Necronomicon to its final resting place.
