When Ash and his friends are first going to the cabin Scott blows the horn on the car and the two fishermen (Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert) on the road wave at them. Scott shouts out the open window yet when the car is driving away the window is closed.

Just when the car begins across the bridge at the start and the camera is pulling back a man can be seen standing on the right hand side of the screen.

Another near the beginning, when Scott enters the cabin at first on his own he walks across the room towards the clock on the wall. As he walks by the window the reflection of someone standing behind him can be seen.
