‘Ash Vs. Evil Dead’ Season 3 Trailer: Ash Vs. Evil High School Mascot By Jacob Hall/Oct. 31, 2017 10:30 am EST The Evil Dead series has always been about blending grisly horror with tongue-in-cheek comedy.

And to prove it, a new Inhumans trailer has arrived to try to sell audiences one last time on the potentially confusing mythology on display.
