Trivia:
Director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell were friends from high-school, where they made many super-8 films together.
They would often collaborate with Sam's brother Ted Raimi. Campbell became the "actor" of the group, as "he was the one that girls wanted to look at."
Ash's last name is never mentioned throughout the entire Evil Dead trilogy, though Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell did
toy around with calling him "Ashley J Williams" and "Ash Holt," the latter revealing how Sam viewed the character...
After completing principal photography in the winter of 1979-1980, most of the actors left the production.
However, there was still much of the film to be completed. Most of the second half of the film features Bruce Campbell and
various stand-ins (or "shemps") to replace the actors who left.
Was one of the first films to be labeled as a "Video Nasty" in England.
Some of the book translates as "Sam and Rob are the hitchhikers on the road", a reference to Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert playing the two men on the side of the road at the beginning of the film.
