Army of Darkness


The first time I saw Jason and the Argonauts, I couldn't help but recall the undead army from Sam Raimi's flick when the Children of the Hydra's Teeth showed up. Anybody else out there think Raimi was inspired by this movie when he made his film?

Oh, no doubt. And see also (and even more so):

Definitely Raimi was inspired by JASON, and the last season-ending episode of GAME OF THRONES without a doubt had a nod to Harryhausen's dead army.

Sam was inspired by many of the movies we came up on as kids. Jason was obvious as well as and especially Equinox.
