EVIL DEAD BURN digitally inserted an image of the 2013 Naturom Demonto over a page which is shown in its unaltered state mere seconds later. The red ink markings seen on the lower right of the page are identical. #evildead#evildeadburn
The 1987 VHS release of EVIL DEAD 2 has a bizarre description of the film on the back cover. This text was used in US and international VHS releases until 1998. The most recent release to use the text was the 2023 ED2 limited edition VHS tapes from Vice Press #evildead2#evildead
Sometime between 1983 & 1986, author William Preston Robertson was personally hired by Sam Raimi to write a novelization of THE EVIL DEAD, though it was never published. Robertson got to visit the set of Evil Dead 2 and puppeteered Henrietta's severed head for a scene. #evildead
(2/2) ...resulting in Moore giving them free artwork, which Anchor Bay then used for advertising their Evil Dead DVDs. Moore was later paid for his art when it was used as a cover for an AOD comic years later, and Kirkman's story pitch has never been revealed #evildead
(1/2) Writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore tried to launch an Evil Dead comic series in the early 2000s. Anchor Bay, who currently had the home media license for the three Evil Dead films, intentionally misled Kirkman and Moore and claimed to be the full IP owners…
Larry Watts was also involved in a scrapped "Ash vs Trump" comic during Space Goat's time with the EVIL DEAD 2 license, where Ash fought Trump's possessed wig. This idea was scrapped by StudioCanal, and retooled into the "ED2: Revenge of Hitler" one-shot #evildead2#evildead
Continuing the theme of scrapped comics: According to comic artist Larry Watts, there were plans for an Army of Darkness comic crossover with Robert Rodriguez's MACHETE some time in the 2010s, though it never materialized for reasons unknown #armyofdarkness#machete#evildead
Following FREDDY VS JASON VS ASH: THE NIGHTMARE WARRIORS, an "Ash vs Leatherface" comic was developed by then-current AOD comic writer @jameskuhoric, though it unfortunately never materialized #evildead#texaschainsawmassacre#armyofdarkness SOURCE: https://t.co/tmAcibrDzU
@EvilDeadNews I was more than willing to do it, I just started at a bad time when they changed the algorithm and I (along with many others at the time) never got posts circulated. I'll give it another go now that BURN has reinvigorated interest in the franchise!
Prior to the film's theatrical release in early 1993, bootleg VHS copies of the uncut version of ARMY OF DARKNESS began to circulate at conventions in early 1992. As a nod to this, Anchor Bay's Director's Cut DVD was subtitled "Official Bootleg Edition" #armyofdarkness#evildead
In 1990, Sam Raimi made a cameo on the French TV show Les Nuls, l'émission, which starred the comedy troupe Les Nuls. Les Nuls member Alain Chabat would later make a voice cameo in EVIL DEAD BURN as Alice's father #evildead#evildeadburn#samraimi

Between 1989 and 1994, EVIL DEAD 2 was technically owned by skin care/makeup/shampoo company L'Oréal. L'Oréal's entertainment division bought Dino De Laurentiis' film catalog when DEG went out of business in 1989. L'Oréal's film division was then sold to StudioCanal in 1994.
