Evil Dead, Savage Worlds

So I'm thinking of doing a game more or less set in the Evil Dead universe (the sillier Evil Dead 2-style, I mean). I have intentions of using deadites and killing PCs a lot. The mechanical premise is like so:

Each PC will be playing an Extra up until every other PC is killed off, at which point the survivor instantly upgrades to a Wild Card. Then we bring in the next batch of Extras to join that Wild Card, and they all get killed of until there's one survivor, who then becomes a Wild Card. This goes on until everyone's a Wild Card. I figure it'll take a while over PbP, but I think it could be fun. Extra fun because you would then go from playing a living Extra to a reanimated Deadite fighting the other PCs and probably dying messily but awesomely.

The setting would be the fictional coastal town of Santa Mira, California, in roughly the year Two Thousand *cough*teen. The players would be more or less normal folks who get pulled into the horrifying world of Things Trying To Break Into Our World, and try to survive and figure out what's going on to probably stop it. I've also taken a lot of inspiration from the old Army of Darkness RPG, which I was planning on running until I realized Savage Worlds is more my speed and can more easily adapt to that mechanical idea above.

What I don't have is everything ready to go, but I'm looking to see if there's interest before I move too far forward. I'm also gonna be out for a week or so and unable to get this thing started for some time.

Any interest, or thoughts on the concept?

I have vague familiarity with the movies, which I last saw decades ago. But I really want to learn Savage Worlds! I am interested. I am fine with the sillier parts of the franchise. In fact my best memory of the movie is Ash refusing to be king so he can return to this world and work at "S-Mart".

Sounds good! I'm a fan of the movie, also of Ash vs Evil Dead.

Seems interesting. If I have the time I'd love to come die in a horrific fashion. Love Bruce Campbell and the sillier movies.
