ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992) - Evil Ash (Bruce Campbell) Cable-Controlled Puppet
A full-size Evil Ash (Bruce Campbell) cable-controlled puppet from Sam Raimi's comedy horror sequel Army of Darkness. Ash battled an undead clone of himself at the end of the film. This puppet is designed to reflect Evil Ash's skeletal state after his skin melted away, and was used for shots in which Evil Ash was seen from the torso up.

The puppet consists of a foam-latex skin with fibreglass bones, over a metallic inner structure. The torso is dressed in various armour components made of vacuum-formed plastic, rigid foam and resin. The armor is attached to the puppet with leather straps. Evil Ash carries a resin sword in his left hand. The head was designed with articulating facial features, allowing controlled movement to the eyes, jaws and neck. Cable controls lead from the interior of the skull and down the spine, where they have been cut. The eyes were operated via radio control.

The puppet rests on a steel frame with a cross base. The lot shows some wear, particularly to the foam-latex skin, which has hardened and cracked in some areas. Minor restoration and sealing has been carried out on the foam latex skin. The piece remains in fair overall condition. Dimensions: 94 cm x 86 cm x 178 cm (37'' x 24'' x 70'')
