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."
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".
As the car is driving up to the cabin at the beginning of the movie, instead of Teresa Seyferth, it's Sam Raimi you see from "Shelly's" window.
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.
