The cabin from The Evil Dead is located in the town of Morristown, Tennessee. Although the bridge was in a separate location, the lonely trail leading in, and the cabin & workshed area layout existed pretty much as shown on screen. The cabin burned down at some point after shooting had wrapped. Sam has said this was because it was struck by lighting, but Bruce gives the real excuse that "...a bunch of 'beer swilling yahoos' came and lit a fire in it". The only current evidence of its existence is a partially standing chimney stack, and some corrugated roofing. During the spring & summer the area becomes overgrown and quite hard to make out, as the chimney is the only thing that's visible amongst the heavy undergrowth. Only in the dead of winter when the foliage has died back and the leaves have fallen; the same season in which the film was shot, that you get the true feel of the location.

I won't post the exact location of the cabin here because many people visiting take away stones from the chimney as souvenirs, not that I would begrudge anyone this whatsoever, I might do the same thing given the chance, but there is so little of it left now that soon it will all be gone. The information to find the site is out there if you look hard enough. A number of people who had posted their experiences of visiting the site recently have said the town is becoming more populated and edging closer to the area, so the site's days may be numbered. Directly across from the site is a large house, but whether they own it is unknown. I have heard accounts of a number of people being interrupted by angry property owners requesting they leave, and one strange story of a redneck wearing pink UGG boots who managed to scam $100 off one member of a group of visitors before allowing them access to the site.

Waving fishermen (taken by Douglas W. McKinney - 17/02/2009)

Just after the Oldsmobile narrowly misses the logging truck, Scott shouts at two waving fishermen (incidentally played by Sam & Rob, who had just cut each others hair). This was filmed directly below Clinch Mountain before you cross it. This road is the Old Highway 25E and is accessible from Highway 11W towards Rutledge (past Bean Station) on the right or Highway 25E north on the left. In this scene you can easily see the Clinch Mountain Gap (Thorn Hill Gap) / Highway 25E in the background, high on the mountain.

The Old Highway 25E is a small winding 2 lane road that was the original road through the mountain and is closed to through traffic near the top. It was replaced by Highway 25E, a new 4 lane highway in the 1970's. Now the Old Highway 25E is used only by local traffic only for local houses and such.
