Connection To The Evil Dead Series[]
Ash, as he appeared in Poker Night 2.
The Army of Darkness theme also features Ash wearing Evil Ash's helmet.
- Ash Williams is a non-playable character whom you play poker against in the game. He is based on his appearance in Army of Darkness and is played by voice actor Danny Webber.
- This game is the first time Ash was performed by an actor other than Bruce Campbell for an officially-licensed product.
- Each of the opponent players offers a different object as a bounty prize for completing certain challenges; Ash offers the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (based on its appearance in Army of Darkness).
- There is also an Army of Darkness themed background with a windmill and graveyard, unlocked by acquiring Evil Dead-themed poker chips, cards, and table felt.
- The events of Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash are mentioned by Claptrap.
- One in-game conversation indicates that Sheila became pregnant from her brief romance with Ash in Army of Darkness, and had a child a few months after Ash left, and that their child (and therefore Ash himself) was an ancestor of Brock Samson from the The Venture Bros.. Interestingly enough, the STARZ series Ash vs Evil Dead, which acts as a sequel to The Evil Dead series, reveals that Ash has a father named Brock Williams. It is unknown is this was a coincidence or a direct nod to the random conversation.
