Bruce Campbell: Slayer of the undead










Our friend Sam Leno is known for his famous lantern jaw of justice just like his uncle Jay, this is why his superhero name is Chinstar. But he and Jay Leno aren't the only ones with a lantern jaw of justice. There are 3 different Disney characters that have a chin like Jay Leno's and they are: Gaston, Kronk, and Buzz Lightyear. Kronk is voiced by Patrick Warburton also known as Puddy on Seinfeld, Gaston is voiced by Richard White who played the phantom of the opera on stage, and Buzz is voiced by Tim Allen (from the sitcom Home Improvement) in the Toy Story movies and in Buzz Lightyear Of Star Command: The Adventure Begins but is voiced by Patrick Warburton in the cartoon series. One actor who is most famous for his lantern jaw of justice is Bruce Campbell- fans know him best as Ash Williams from Evil Dead and Army Of Darkness- the zombie slayer with a chainsaw for a hand. Bruce Campbell's nickname happens to be "The chin" because of his famous Jay Leno-like lantern jaw. Our friend Chinstar happens to be a big fan and close friend of his. Because he's known for playing Ash in the Evil Dead films a lot of fans always refer to him as his character's name and not his real name. He has a new movie out called My Name Is Bruce in which he plays himself.













Here's Bruce as Elvis in Bubba Hotep. It's one of our favourite movies.






And here is his most famous character- Ash, the zombie slayer with a chainsaw for a hand. Bruce doesn't usually like being refered to as Ash but there was one occassion that was a big exception. You see, someone had gotten their hands on a recalled Raise-The-Dead Kit and was planning on using to ressurect their deceased pet, when he tried to do it he awoke several dead people from their graves and caused a Zombie Apocolypse, it was like Return Of The Living Dead out there- but lucky for us we have Bruce Campbell's number on speed dial so we called him to help us fight off the zombies. And boy, he kicked some serious undead butt! We hope that no one else wants to ressurect a dead family member, celebrity, or pet- we would hate to have another Return Of The Living Dead situation. It's a good thing we have Bruce Campbell's number on speed dial in case of a zombie related emergency.






My brother went as Ash for halloween once, I helped him with the chainsaw hand thing.


Bruce Campbell is awesome. Plus, he looks like Gaston from Beauty And The Beast.
He is an awesome Elvis too.
In our stop motion version of the Eye Of Horus, the leader of the pharoah's army is made to resemble Ash from the Evil Dead movies. The original play had sand people as the enemy army but in our version we replaced them with undead mummies.

  1. I'm a big fan of Bruce Campbell myself. I read his autobiography, and I was impressed by the fact that he and his friends made a working tank as a prop for an early movie of his while still in their teens.

  2. By the way if you see an Ash talking cuddle buddy either regular Ash or Evil/Deadite Ash, you should buy it.
