This UK based fansite represents months of hard work by Evil Dead fans to assemble the the definitive online resource covering every aspect of the Evil Dead trilogy in a huge amount of detail, from the early Super-8 days, through Evil Dead, Evil Dead II & Army Of Darkness, and beyond. It pulls together a vast array of sources to present the most comprehensive account ever, either currently online or available in print, and uses a number of very rare and some never before seen images.

The 'news' presented on this page relates strictly to major updates of this site. It doesn't cover the little additions & corrections made on a daily basis, and also doesn't cover general news & happenings in the wider world of Evil Dead. For that I would highly recommend the excellent blog website EvilDeadNews.com, which is updated every day or so with new articles. there is a linked banner below.
February 10, 2010 - Collectables Section Updated
The 'Collectables' index page has had it's first big update, with around 50 additions; there are now 816 individual items listed. We have to say a big thank you to everyone who contacted us with new suggestions & additions. Even so, the section will never be 100% complete, so if you see that we've missed anything, or want to point out any corrections, please do get in contact.
January 19, 2010 - Collectables Section
The main 'Collectables' index page is now online. It aims to be the ultimate comprehensive reference list of all the the official and unofficial Evil Dead trilogy related merchandise available in the past or present. The material listed, ranges from mass produced items down to one-off fan made items, and everything in between. Rather than spilt the items down in to sub-page after sub-page, we've decided to have everything together on one huge page, so it might take a minute or so to to load as there are nearly 800 individual items listed, all with pictures.
We've decided to restrict the 'Collectables' section to just the main index page for the time being, with a long term goal of expanding it to include 'More Details' sub-pages linked from the main list, with additional photos, specs & information about each item.
Because of the vast array of official and unofficial items which have been made over the years, knowing about & cataloguing every single past present & future item ever produced is virtually impossible, and the section can never really be certified 100% complete. It will simply remain 'in progress' for the foreseeable future, with periodic updates of new items from time to time. If you have anything we don't, please get in contact and let us know so we can add it to this list.
January 2, 2010 - Army Of Darkness Version Differences
Seasons greetings and a happy new year to everyone out there!
We have just added a new page; 'Different Versions', to the Army Of Darkness section, giving a highly detailed breakdown of the differences between the various retail Army Of Darkness versions/cuts. It compares the US Theatrical Cut, the Director's Cut, the International Cut and the US Television Version.
We're still working away on the 'Collectables' section, and currently have around 600 individual Evil Dead trilogy related items, and rising! Expect the vast main indexing page to be online soon, with the huge number of 'more details' pages to be added over the next few months.
December 22, 2009 - Evil Dead 4 and Collectables additions
The Evil Dead 4 page is now online. It explores the various prospects of a new Evil Dead film, either as a further instalment to the existing series, a complete Remake, or a Freddy vs Jason vs Ash movie.
Also, the bare skeleton of the last section still under construction; 'Collectables', is online, although it currently has no items listed. As this section will be huge, it will likely be updated as each batch of items is catalogued. Given the vast array of past, present and as yet unknown future Evil Dead Trilogy related items, this section can never be certified 100% complete. It will simply remain 'in progress' for the foreseeable future, with periodic updates of new items from time to time.
One other little addition; As someone emailed us and asked about it, I have added a short piece to The Evil Dead section 'Score' page about the song Shelly & Scott sing while driving to the cabin.
December 11, 2009 - Army Of Darkness Section Now Complete
We have just added the Army Of Darkness section 'Deleted Scenes' page, which means the Army Of Darkness section is now complete. Although quite comprehensive, we may still expand it yet further to include the differences between each of the retail DVD versions, rather than just the differences & omissions from the shooting script. Lookout of the Evil Dead 4 section next.
December 6, 2009 - Cheryl Guttridge Interview & Army Of Darkness section
Head over to the [newly re-ordered] features page to read an email interview conducted with Cheryl Guttridge. She acted in numerous Super-8 productions, had a leading role in Josh Becker's feature film; Thou Shalt No Kill... Except, as well as appearing as a Fake Shemp in The Evil Dead. We're still actively seeking other interviews, so expect further updates in the future.
Eight of the nine pages for the Army Of Darkness section are complete, but the 'Deleted Scenes' page is taking a little longer to work through than planned. As everything else is done, we have opened the other eight pages rather than keep it all offline. The remaining page should be online shortly, and the Evil Dead 4 section is next on the list.
November 26, 2009 - Josh Becker Interview
We have just added an interview with director Josh Becker to the features page. He directed & assisted with numerous Super-8 productions, along with writing & directing a list of feature films including Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except & Running Time, and was also a crew member on The Evil Dead managing a large portion of the lighting and sound, along with cameo roles in Evil Dead II & Army Of Darkness, and publishing a number of interesting books about the world of film making.
Expect further interviews to be added over the next few weeks.
November 19, 2009 - Tim Quill Interview
We have recently conducted an interview with Actor Tim Quill. He had roles in numerous Super-8 productions, along with many of Sam's later feature films, including an appearance in each of the Spiderman films, and perhaps most famously playing the Blacksmith in Army Of Darkness. To read it, please see the features page.
On the subject of general site updates; further interesting interviews are in the pipeline, and we're currently working through the large Army Of Darkness section which is about 50% complete, and should be online in the next few weeks.
October 31, 2009 - Site Online
The site & forums are now open. The 'News & Updates', 'Super-8 Origins', 'Within The Woods', 'Features' & 'Links' sections are all complete, along with the 'The Evil Dead' and 'Evil Dead 2' pages of the 'Trilogy' section. The 'Army Of Darkness', 'Evil Dead 4' and 'Collectables' sections are still in progress, but given the amount of detail covered, it may be quite some time before everything is 100% finished. The three pages in the 'Features' section are complete, but keep an eye out for further additions in the future. It's worth noting that we have made a deliberate decision not to cover the next generation computer games or 'Evil Dead: The Musical' at the moment.
