Sam Raimi, director of the Evil Dead trilogy, has always been heavily influenced by the Three Stooges (see the skeletons poking Ash in Army of Darkness). He often credits a "Fake Shemp" in his movies, in reference to the fake Shemp used as a stuntman in some Three Stooges movies. Some notable fake Shemps have been Ivan Raimi (Sam's brother), Scott Spiegel, and Bruce Campbell himself.
