Trivia:
The scream of Bruce Campbell at the end of the movie is genuine. Sam Raimi actually crashed into Bruce with the bike he used to create the "Evil Camera" effect.
Sam Raimi originally wanted to title this film "Book of the Dead," but producer Irvin Shapiro changed the
title to "The Evil Dead" for fear that kids would be turned off seeing a movie with a literary reference.
Was one of the first films to be labeled as a "Video Nasty" in England.
The cabin used for filming The Evil Dead was located in Morristown, TN. The cabin mysteriously burned down years later.
The cabin did not actually have a cellar. The cellar scenes were filmed in Raimi's garage. For the scene where the students descend into the cellar, a hole was cut into the floor, a shallow hole was dug, and a ladder was placed into the pit.
