Love Dead by dawn, but I haven't seen the other movies in the series.  Would that be a problem?

All you need to know is that there are ghost zombies and that Ash is too badass to wear anything other than a blue flannel shirt at all times forever. And in one of the movies he makes his hand into a chainsaw. Except Ash likely won't be in this as a PC, so all you need to know is Ghost Zombies, probably.
