More information about Final Jeopardy:
(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2026 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)
Army of Darkness, the third installment of the Evil Dead franchise, was released in American theatres on February 19, 1993, in which Ash Williams (the franchise’s protagonist) was accidentally transported to the Middle Ages.
To be honest, I enjoy the pun, and I think “Medieval Dead” could have worked. But of course, the studio executives know best, am I right?
