The Evil Dead returns from the grave in the form of an iPod/iPad app

Much like the characters in the film, The Evil Dead simply will not stay dead. 

In recent years, we've seen Evil Dead: The Musical, Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick, Evil Dead: Regeneration, and now, in our age of Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, comes The Evil Dead for the iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad.

The game, which is played as a 3D shooter, pits the player in the middle of the action as Ash. The game contains over 30 levels, the first half following the events in the first film, and the second half introducing a new story and characters. 

The Evil Dead is one of those movies that will never truly go away, and with good reason. The 80's classic is one of the best movies with one of the lowest budgets, and continues to intrigue fans generation after generation. 

"Sam, Bruce and I have always been interested in finding ways to bring our 1980's Evil Dead into the digital age," said Evil Dead co-creator Rob Tapert. "And taking this first step with Trigger has been a great experience."

We'll likely see the app launch in the next month or so, so those of you with an iPhone or iPad, look for The Evil Dead game this spring!
