Right on! Thanks on the daughter<—>niece correction. (And for that unsolicited compliment! I'm blushing!)

If I'm wrong about Samara, the season of Ash v Evil Dead, when the makeup test happened, please let me know. My rugged good looks and sterling prose alone shouldn't give the impression that my recollection and assumptions aren't incorrect.

This is a super small nitpick, but I'm pretty sure that make up test was from the first season of Ash vs Evil Dead, not the upcoming one. (I'm pretty sure the actress (Hugo Weaving's daughter)) was killed in the finale and dispatched.
