    • Trivia
      The English-dubbed version of this movie, Return of the Evil Dead, popularized the use of the generic term "evil dead" to refer to malevolent undead.
    • Goofs
      throughout the movie the day changes from a night to day multiple times.
    • Alternate versions
      The Anchor Bay version claims to be uncut, however it is actually missing quite a bit of footage. Most of the gore has been cut out, along with a few other minor scenes. Here is a complete list of the missing footage:
      • During the opening flashback, all shots of the knife plunging into the woman's chest have been removed, as well as the shots of the Templars removing her heart.
      • There is a brief line of dialogue from one of the Templar Knights missing just before he is blinded by the villagers.
      • A shot of a woman, tied and gagged in the trunk of a car, has been cut from during the fireworks display.
      • A complete sequence has been cut in which the woman from the previous shot is tied to a wall by Murdo the village idiot and stabbed between the breasts. This particular cut makes it unclear why the Templars suddenly return from the grave. In the uncut version, this scene establishes that Murdo has deliberately summoned the Templars by offering a human sacrifice.
      • A single shot of blood dripping down a telephone and onto the floor has been removed.
      • Two close-up shots have been removed which show Bert's stomach being punctured by swords, along with an intervening shot of the Mayor watching from a nearby window.
      • The scene where the little girl leaves a room and encounters the Mayor (just before he leads her outside) has been cut.
      • Various close-ups of swords entering the Mayor's body have been removed.
      • A single close-up of a sword penetrating Amalia's stomach has been cut.
      • A single shot of blood spurting from Murdo's neck after he has been beheaded has been removed.
      • Just before the camera pans down to reveal that Howard has fallen onto a spear, a few shots of his face have been removed.
      • A single shot of the village square has been cut, just before Vivian, Jack, and Nancy leave the church.
      • The end credits have been considerably shortened.

    Best Forgien Film Of The 1970's
    The speical effects of the Blind Dead movies are the greatest I've seen in the 1970s. Even better then some of the movies made by Hollywood at the time. The story is a tad on weak and some of the characters are as likable as a dentist drill but still I for one am going to buy it on DVD. I give it 8 out of 10 stars
