Evil Dead II, according to Bruce Campbell, " was originally designed to go back into the past to 1300, but we couldn't muster it at the time, so we decided to make an interim version, not knowing if the 1300 story would ever get made ".

The working title for the project was Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness.

The title " Army of Darkness " came from an idea by Irvin Shapiro, during the production of Evil Dead II.

Initially, Raimi invited Scott Spiegel to co-write Army of Darkness because he had done a good job on Evil Dead II, but he was busy on rewrites for the Clint Eastwood film The Rookie.

After the re-shoots were completed, Joseph LoDuca, who composed the music for The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, returned to score the the film.

The film currently holds a 71 % " Fresh " rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 38 reviews, which made its critical reception above average but is much lower than The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, which received 100 % and 98 % critical approval, respectively.

Roger Ebert gave the film two out of four stars and wrote, " The movie isn't as funny or entertaining as Evil Dead II, however, maybe because the comic approach seems recycled ".
