Sam Raimi's Evil Dead universe will soon be back with Ash vs Evil Dead season 2 and this time the blood and gore will increase with Ashley "Ash" Williams all set to form an unlikely alliance with his season 1 nemesis Ruby Knowby to fight the Evil looming over his hometown.

Bruce Campbell, who plays the titular character in the horror comedy, has shared a hilarious image on his Twitter account explaining how Ash is preparing to slaughter some deadites with his chainsaw hand. "Ash has been burning the midnight oil, trying to get it just right. Words matter," he captioned the image where a few words do attract the attention of the readers. "The only thing we have to fear is a shitload of deadites."
