Creative Principles

Bruce Campbell is an actor and producer widely celebrated for his role as Ash Williams in the cult-classic EVIL DEAD film series and the hit TV show ASH VS. EVIL DEAD. Renowned for his charismatic performances and deadpan humor, Campbell has become an icon in the horror and sci-fi genres. His latest show, HYSTERIA!, follows a struggling high school heavy metal band of outcasts who use the town's sudden interest in the occult to start a reputation as a Satanic metal band, until a strange series of events triggers a witch hunt that leads back to them. In this interview, we talk about the early days of EVIL DEAD, the importance of collaboration between actors and writers, the dangers of excessive studio interference, the value of producing your own work, and much more.
