    • Trivia
      Stephen King was such a huge fan of Evil Dead (1981) that he convinced producer Dino De Laurentiis over dinner (who was producing King's Maximum Overdrive (1986) at the time) to have his production company DEG (De Laurentiis Entertainment Group) finance Evil Dead II.
    • Goofs
      When Ash is thrown into the cellar he breaks a few of the steps, later he goes in to retrieve the pages of the Necronomicon and every step is intact.
    • Quotes

      Henrietta: I'll swallow your soul! I'll swallow your soul! I'll swallow your soul!

      Ash: [aims shotgun at Henrietta's face] Swallow this.

    • Crazy credits
      The sequel to the ultimate experience in grueling horror
    • Alternate versions
      All the Anchor Bay releases are uncut for gore, but the new "Book of the Dead" edition digitally erases wires in several scenes (most noticeably when Henrietta's eye pops out).
    • Connections
      Edited into Iggy Pop: Cold Metal (1988)

    An electrifying roller coaster ride of a movie!

    This film, is without a shadow of a doubt, one of finest, most imaginative comedy horror films ever made. Raimi, has put all the aspects of the film together in masterful fashion. The camera work and sound effects are pulsating, and the timing is perfection. And in Bruce Campbell, the film as a lead actor who gives an exceptional performance. Campbell plays "Ash", an everyday, supermarket attendant who suddenly finds himself thrown into the unusual situation of having to defend himself against, zombies, evil spirits and even his own possessed hand, just in order to survive the night. I laughed, I gasped, and I gripped the arm of my chair throughout! If you like your comedies, black and hilarious, and your horror, gory and sensational, then look no further. Raimi has created the definitive comedy horror! Fantastic!

    • Is this film a remake or a sequel?
    • Why does Ash go back to the cabin in the beginning?
