Description[]
Every town has at least one looney bin in it. The Kenward County Asylum was shut down many years ago, but the Dark One known as Baal made use of it when he had Ash Williams committed. Baal took on the form of a psychiatrist named Doctor Peacock, and gave Ash an "Ashy Slashy" puppet, which he used as tool for brainwashing Ash as part of a larger scheme to destroy the Necronomicon. Ash's allies, Kelly Maxwell, Linda Emery, Lacey Emery and Ruby Knowby infiltrated the asylum to rescue him. Lacey Emery became possessed by a Deadite and killed her father. Kelly Maxwell managed to destroy the Lacey Deadite as well as the Ashy Slashy puppet. Ash proved that he was never truly brainwashed, but was merely biding his time until he could Baal into a position so he could be defeated.
Characters[]
Note: It should be noted that as the asylum had been abandoned many years ago, all those who appear as "staff" and "patients" other than Ash Williams are actually delusions in Ash's mind.
