Sam Raimi also is credited as R.O.C. Sandstorm as the film editor for Army of Darkness. By an equal number of websites. It appears that both Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi use this pseudonym. Does anyone know a reliable source for who is the film editor R.O.C. Sandstorm in "Army of Darkness". | | | Are you local?

| | Posted: | | | | This is definitely a tough one that I've tried to do research on myself. Both Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi have been attributed to using the name "ROC Sandstorm". Bruce has been asked in several interviews about who ROC Sandstorm is and he always basically gives an answer like "I don't know who you're talking about. I would never use fake name, you must be talking about Sam." That's not an exact quote by any means, but it's the basic gyst I've gotten from them. On the other hand I haven't found anything substantial linking Sam Raimi to the name so I think this is Bruce Campbell's way of playing a joke or misdirecting attention away from it.
Based on my research I'm fairly positive Bruce used that name several times in Evil Dead I and II so I'm fairly certain he at least started out using it. Whether others, like Sam Raimi, started using it, who knows? My opinion is that they are all Bruce and he's just having fun with us but I have absolutely zippy to back that up with.
For what it's worth, I've always attributed the name "ROC Sandstorm" with Bruce and not with anyone else. | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

I would ask the 'no voter' to provide you with documentation to back up his claim. If the evidence is not compelling, there is no reason to use the 'credited as' feature. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
