We’re used to him being overwhelmed and overmatched and somehow still crawling out the other side.ĭon’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to tell you that characters like Sidney Prescott from Scream or Laurie Strode from Halloween weren’t formidable. Like John McClane in the Die Hard franchise, we know what he’s survived before. He was vortexed into an ancient time and responded by becoming their King! He’s the only good guy horror icon I see as formidable enough to pull this off. The man cut off his own hand and replaced it with a chainsaw. His survivability factor could work over and over again because that is what we’re used to seeing him go through. Ash is the one person in horror I could imagine surviving a near death fight with Freddy Krueger only to turn around and have Michael Myers waiting on him outside. As great as those have been in the past, it just doesn’t work for something this grandiose. But to survive something on this level you can’t just be a new camper, random teen or a tiny Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins cosplayer (Corey Feldman in Final Chapter). Here’s why.Īsh is the Perfect Good Guy for an Idea This Over the Topįirst off, a horror icon crossover needs someone to root for. Honestly? I think it would have changed horror forever.īecause of one reason….Ash Williams. Ash could have been the greatest horror crossover of all time, I believe it would have opened up the possibilities to do ANY future crossovers. The reason I bring it up today? Were it not for the alleged unwillingness of competing studios to have their character be the loser of the three way fisticuffs, i t totally would have worked. Ashand it’s all been covered by Bloody Disgusting before. Using Jason to gain access to the Necronomicon so that he could read its passages and become more powerful than ever. Actually, it did happen in both a comic book and a script for a movie we never received. Housewares! What a scene! A scene that never happened. The only thing standing between him and the gruesome murders of the teenage employees working there is Ash Williams. Imagine Jason Voorhees wreaking havoc in the aisles of a Crystal Lake S-Mart.
