Trivia:
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.
Director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell were friends from high-school, where they made many super-8 films together.
They would often collaborate with Sam's brother Ted Raimi. Campbell became the "actor" of the group, as "he was the one that girls wanted to look at."
After completing principal photography in the winter of 1979-1980, most of the actors left the production.
However, there was still much of the film to be completed. Most of the second half of the film features Bruce Campbell and
various stand-ins (or "shemps") to replace the actors who left.
The cabin used for filming The Evil Dead was located in Morristown, TN. The cabin mysteriously burned down years later.
On the tape, in which the daemon resurrection passages are read aloud. The words are in a form of Arabic, which actually
mean Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi are the men on the side of the road".
