A full-size Evil Ash (Bruce Campbell) cable-controlled puppet from Sam Raimi's comedy horror sequel Army of Darkness. In the finale of the film, Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) battles his evil deadite clone. 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 fiberglass bones over a metallic inner structure. The torso is dressed in various armor 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 for 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.

Itis in good overall condition with some wear from production and age, 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. Dimensions: 37" x 24" x 70" (94 cm x 61 cm x 178 cm)
