Today we’re cracking open the Necronomicon in 8 bits with Evil Dead: Ash Lives!, a fan-made ROM hack of Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti for the Famicom — now fully reimagined to star Ash Williams, the chainsaw-handed antihero from Sam Raimi’s cult horror classic The Evil Dead.
This isn’t some unreleased NES prototype — it’s a clever and lovingly-crafted reskin of Wanpaku Graffiti, a game already known for its chibi horror aesthetic and parody tone. What the modders have done is give it a total Evil Dead makeover, swapping in Ash sprites, thematic backgrounds, and dialogue tweaks to bring that iconic cabin-in-the-woods chaos to your NES emulator.
🩸 Why Evil Dead: Ash Lives! is groovy:
Fully playable as Ash, complete with chainsaw arm and shotgun attitude
Modified dialogue and visuals to match the Evil Dead universe
Bosses and enemies reimagined as Deadites and demonic foes
Keeps the fun, fast-paced platforming of the original Wanpaku Graffiti
Hilarious tone — campy, self-aware, and full of retro horror charm
A great mashup of chibi parody and cult horror gold
If you're a fan of The Evil Dead and Splatterhouse, this hack is a must-play novelty — a fun, weird tribute that doesn't take itself too seriously, just like the source material. It’s not a full reworking of the game’s mechanics, but the new coat of blood-drenched paint makes it feel fresh and familiar all at once.
