▲In 1979, a bunch of kids got together in a cabin in Tennessee and made a film with a standard [[B-Movie]] plot; this film was '''''The Evil Dead'''''. The film, which was directed by [[Sam Raimi]] (of ''[[Spider-Man (Film)|Spider-Man]]'' fame), and starred [[Bruce Campbell]] (who is most associated with this series), managed to make enough money to warrant two sequels and get into the public consciousness. The result of the two sequels was a strange blend where [[Narm Charm]] meets [[Rule of Cool]].
The first film's story follows a bunch of kids who get together in a cabin in Tennessee and play a tape recorded recitation from a demonic book of the dead (the [[Necronomicon]]) -- which leads to each of them becoming possessed and attacking the others. ''Evil Dead 2's'' plot was '''seemingly''' a rehash of the prior film with some rewrites; only Ashley J. Williams (Campbell) and Ash's girlfriend Linda go to the cabin, and the ending leads straight into ''Army of Darkness''. The plot of the first film wasn't actually retconned, though -- due to copyright issues, Raimi was unable to use scenes from the first movie, which forced him to shoot a new recap (ignoring said recap makes ''Evil Dead 2'' a direct sequel).
Line 11:
''Army of Darkness'' is the most well-known (and quoted) film of the trilogy. Ash is transported back to Medieval Europe, where he finds out he can return to his own time -- if he can retrieve the Necronomicon first. Ash manages to find the book, but when he inevitably [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|screws up]] the retrieval, he's forced to train and help the [[Training the Peaceful Villagers|not-quite peaceful villagers]] he's placed in the path of an Army of Darkness.
The third film catapulted Ash into pop culture popularity; there are four videogames, tons of comic book adaptions (including [[Crossover|crossovers]] with [[Marvel Comics|Marvel Zombies]] and [[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena]], as well as ''[[Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash]]''), a [[Role
[[Evil Dead (2013 film)|A remake of the first movie]], directed by Fede Álvarez, was released in 2013. Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Bruce Campbell were producers, while Diablo Cody doctored the script.
=== Films in this series: ===
* ''The Evil Dead'' (1981)

* ''Evil Dead'' (2013)
=== Video games in this series: ===
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* ''Evil Dead: Regeneration'' (2005)
{{tropenamer}}
* [[Fake Shemp]]: During filming of ''The Evil Dead'', any castmember that wasn't Bruce Campbell eventually left due to various circumstances. To finish the movie, stand-ins were utilized wherever possible (sometimes quite noticeably, sometimes not) and these people were credited as this. Sam Raimi himself coined the term, inspired by the [[Three Stooges]]. The term became a fixture of later Raimi-related productions.
* [[This Is My Boomstick]]
{{tropelist}}
* [[Ashcan Copy]]: ''Within the Woods,'' a short film made primarily to get the first true ''[[Evil Dead]]'' film financed.
* [[Angrish]]: Ash has a tendency to babble and scream incoherently when frightened or enraged.
* [[Animate Dead]]: what happens when you remove the book. There's a spell to disable that, but Ash mispronounces it; [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[Apocalyptic Log]]: The source of the entire mess.
* [[Arm Cannon]] - Literally, in the games.
* [[Arrow Cam]] - A favorite of Raimi.
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: When his hand is chopped off, Ash replaces it ''with a chainsaw.'' Later, he replaces that with a [[Bamboo Technology|clockwork gauntlet]].
** And in the extended media beyond the films, he'll frequently swap out his gauntlet with the saw (for example, in ''A Fistful of Boomstick'', he can switch the chainsaw out with a flamethrower and a [[More Dakka|Gatling gun]]).
* [[Ax Crazy]]: How Ash copes with the events of the first two movies. By the third, he's turned it into [[Crazy Awesome]].
* [[Badass Normal]]: Ash goes up against demons from hell, medieval knights, the undead and his own mutated friends with no training, preparation or backup, and ''still'' manages to kick ass and take names.
* [[Banned in China|Banned in]] <s>[[Banned in China|China]]</s> [[Banned in China|Britain]]: It was one of the "[[Video Nasties]]" that got Mary Whitehouse's knickers in a twist. It was more to do with the title than the content; titles with stuff like "Evil" and "Dead" were banned in a knee-jerk reaction (although the [[Crosses the Line Twice|tree rape scene]] didn't do it any favors).
Line 46:
* [[BBC Quarry]]: It wasn't shot in England (though the story does take place there), but Ash's arrival in the Middle Ages at the end of ''Evil Dead 2'' was filmed at a very similar-looking North Carolina rock quarry.
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: Mocked.
{{quote|
'''Ash:''' "Honey, you got ''reeaaaal'' ugly." }}
** Played straight with Ash himself, who only ever gets superficial injuries to his face that just make him seem more handsome. By the third film, his costume is a walking [[Shirtless Scene]]. There is a scene in the first film where he gets covered from head to toe in blood; a second later his face is completely clean, and the only thing the blood did was make his shirt cling to his chest in a fanservice-y way
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: The series begins with a college student fighting demons in an isolated cabin in the woods, and gets ''cooler from there.''
* [[Big No]]: Ash, repeatedly, but especially at {{spoiler|the alternate end of the third film.}}
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Trilingual? Necronomicon ex Mortis. The first bit means "Book of the Dead" in Greek, and the second is "from/by the Dead" in Latin.
** lets not forget its the sumerian book of the dead
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: Lampshaded in ''Army of Darkness''.
{{quote|
** Better one in the [[
{{quote|
* [[Black Blood]]: Along with all sorts of liquids the production staff used as blood, mostly to avoid an X-rating...
** And {{spoiler|the possessed Shelly}} bleeds white blood whilst {{spoiler|faking her death throes}}.
Line 66:
* [[Body Horror]]: Begins fairly early in the first movie and goes downhill from there. Highlights include a snake-like neck and a breakneck ballet in the second film.
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: Many. But here's one anyway:
{{quote|
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: At one point, Ash fires his double barreled shotgun at least three times in quick succession, far faster than someone with only one hand can reload. There's also the lever action rifle in ''Army of Darkness'' which he fires about 30 times without reloading. And then there's the bottomless gas tank for the chainsaw.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: [[Badass]] he may be, but Ash is still this quite often.
Line 72:
* [[The Cameo]]: Hinted at by ''the tape'' in the original ''Evil Dead'': "''Saman sa'rob dar ees haikar dande roza''", this being derived from "Sam [Raimi] and Rob [Tapert] are hitchhikers on the road." Sure enough, if you paid attention five minutes into the film, Scott drove the Olds past a pair of idiotic-looking hitchhikers in fishing gear, both of whom turn to wave as the car sped by.
* [[The Cavalry]]: Henry the Red and his peoples.
* [[Canon
** Sam Raimi explains in the ''Evil Dead 2'' commentary that you can attach the Evil Dead 2 scene with Ash being attacked at daybreak to the first movie's ending, then remove Ash's arrival in medieval times from ''Evil Dead 2'', and then attach Ash's arrival from ''Army of Darkness'' onto it instead, and you'll have the single-continuity storyline he envisioned. He also said he feels sorry for anyone who'd sit through the resulting 6-hour movie (though many fans might disagree).
* [[Sword and Gun|Chainsaw And Shotgun]]
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Probably one of the most iconic examples in media.
* [[The Chosen One]]: Technically, the "Promised One". Also mixed with a little [[It Sucks to Be
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: Ash's tying down of Bad Ash so he can properly chop him up with the chainsaw. There is, however, no gloating.
** Really, it was more about preventing Bad Ash from hindering him down the road (and a reference to the first movie), but it's quite likely that Ash enjoyed having a Deadite at his mercy (or lack thereof).
* [[Cool Car]]: Sam Raimi's 1973 Oldsmobile is Ash's in the series. Even the car [[Took a Level
* [[Daylight Horror]]: The ending to the first movie. A few scares at the beginning too.
* [[Dance Sensation]]: ''[[The Musical|Dooo the Necronomicon.]] [[Ear Worm|The Necronomicon.]]''
Line 85:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Played straight in "Army of Darkness." Ash finds plenty of opportunities to snark about medieval culture and action-adventure tropes.
** Ash gets some moments in the first two movies, too.
{{quote|
'''Ash''' (distracted): Yeah, truly amazing. }}
* [[Dem Bones]]: Most of the eponymous Army raised by Evil Ash/the Necronomicon in ''Army of Darkness''.
Line 92:
* [[Description Porn]]: From ''Army of Darkness'', Ash introducing his boomstick.
* [[Dirty Coward]]: Scott in the first movie. Played with in the sequels with Ash, where he seemingly acts like a coward, but he either really isn't or just mans up.
* [[Dodge This]]: "Swallow this." * BOOM! *
* [[Ear Worm]]: Almost every song in the musical. "Cabin in the Woods," "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed By Candarian Demons," and "What the Fuck Was That?" come to mind...
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|The original ending of ''Army of Darkness''. The exact opposite of the theatrical version.}}
Line 108:
* [[Eye Scream]]
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: Assuming you trust the source, the second movie alludes to possession and death being the least of victims' problems in this series:
{{quote|
* [[Final Girl]]: Um...Guy, although with something of a [[Gender Blender Name]]. This "twist" was actually commented on by film studies, and it's now a bit cooler for guys to have this name.
* [[Fly At the Camera Ending]]: Inverted. The camera flies at [[Bruce Campbell]] at the end.
* [[Forging Scene]]: "Groovy".
* [[For the Evulz]]: Pretty much the Deadites' only motivation for doing anything.
* [[Fridge Logic]]: Brought up in the commentary for ''Army of Darkness''.
{{quote|
'''Bruce Campbell:''' It's 'cause the director told me to. }}
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Who'd have thought that one of the most significant [[Badass]] characters of the Eighties would be named Ashley?
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Ash may be a total cartoon character (when he's not being a badass), but he's still able to effortlessly create a fully-articulated {{spoiler|prosthetic hand}} for himself, synthesize gunpowder and explosive materials using only found natural resources and the Chemistry textbooks in the trunk of his car, and then turn said car into a whirling, bladed death machine. As he puts it:
{{quote|
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Ash knows that just because a Deadite is down, doesn't mean it's dead. However, he learns this through hard experience, not pre-thought wisdom.
{{quote|
* [[Genre Shift]]: The first movie is a more-or-less straightforward horror film. ''Evil Dead 2'' is a strange hybrid of gory, serious horror, and slapstick comedy. ''Army of Darkness'' drops almost all the horror and works instead as an action-comedy. This is surprisingly ''not'' an example of [[Executive Meddling]], as creator Sam Raimi helmed all three films, and the progression from horror to comedy was his own idea.
** The shift is also very effective in showing Ash's descent into madness.
* [[Gorn]]: The second and third film cranked up the gore, with the second having a near-flooding of the cabin floor with orange blood from a decapitation, and the third having a ''geyser'' of blood.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: In the second movie, just as Ash is about to use the chainsaw on {{spoiler|Deadite Linda's}} head, this trope is invoked - showing blood splattering on the walls and shadows rather than the actual act. The DVD commentary points out the irony of this.
{{quote|
* [[Guns Akimbo]]
* [[Groin Attack]]
Line 135:
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Ash.
* [[Ignored Expert]]: The wiseman in ''Army of Darkness''.
{{quote|
'''Arthur:''' What? That buffoon? Likely he's one of Henry's men. I say to the pit with him! }}
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Deadite Cheryl speaks in nearly nothing but these in the musical.
{{quote|
'''Ash''': Shut up!
'''Cheryl''': We’re like that Columbia House 'Ten CD’s for a Penny' club. Sooner or later, you’ll ''join us!''
'''Ash''': Shut up!
'''Cheryl''': I’m like Dom DeLuise at an all-you-can-eat fish house. I’ll swallow your 'sole'!
'''Ash''': God, shut up!
'''Cheryl''': It’ll be like you were killed by some guy whose first name happens to be Dawn, so you’ll be dead... by Dawn!
'''Ash''': That is ''it!'' }}
** After having to cut off his own possessed hand, Ash sticks it to the floor with a knife, covers it with a bucket, and proceeds to stack on books [[Genre Savvy|just in case it tries to escape anyway.]] The book on top? ''A Farewell To Arms''.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: In the spin-off comics Ash has become something of a crossover whore, having encountered [[Darkman]], the Universal Monsters, Xena, Doctor Herbert West, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, the Marvel Zombies and... [[Barack Obama]].
* [[Insult Backfire]]:
{{quote|
'''Ash''': Nope. Just me baby... Just me. }}
* [[Ironic Echo]]: In the first film, Ash flirtatiously peeks at Linda while pretending to be asleep, shutting his eyes when she looks back at him. After she's possessed and apparently killed, her "corpse" does the same thing to him.
* [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: ''"We're going to get you, We're going to get you."''
* [[It Got Worse]]: Pretty much the entire point of the series. Every time it look like it might either be getting better, or he might hit rock bottom, or he has any kind of fortune or misfortune whatsoever, something happens to Ash. Case in point - after surviving most of the night, killing his zombie ex-girlfriend and {{spoiler|presumably}} taking care of his own zombie hand by cutting it off, another group of people show up, think he murdered their family, and throw him in the cellar. Headfirst. Then, they listen to the [[Apocalyptic Log]] and find out the old man who lived there was actually attacked by his possessed ex-wife. And he buried her in the cellar...
* [[Jerk
* {{spoiler|[[Kill'Em All]]:}} Everybody but Ash in {{spoiler|1 and 2.}}
* [[Kensington Gore]]: Lots of it. The Musical is one of the few Broadway shows to include a "splatter zone" and fans have taken to wearing white t-shirts to shows to take home as bloody souvenirs.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: The musical does quite a bit of it. It even points out the inconsistency with {{spoiler|Ash being brought back from the curse from seeing Linda's necklace... even though Linda is a Deadite now}}.
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]
* [[Large Ham]]: Rumor has it that Bruce Campbell was hospitalized for two weeks after filming "Army of Darkness" on account of the damage done to his digestive tract after eating all of that scenery.
** Deadite Cheryl in the first film is also a major one.
* [[Late to
* [[Leg Cling]] The poster for "Army of Darkness"
* [[Licking the Blade]]
Line 170:
* [[Losing Your Head]]: Linda in "2" and ''Evil'' Ash in "Army of Darkness".
* [[The Lost Woods]]: The setting of the first two movies once the Necronomicon's been read aloud, they also take up some of the plot during ''Army of Darkness'', as Ash rides to find the Necronomicon.
** ''Within the Woods'', a "practice" film Raimi and Co. made pre-''Evil Dead''.
* [[Madness Mantra]]: ''Evil Dead 2''
{{quote|
* [[Madden Into Misanthropy]]: Ash evolves from a fairly sensitive guy into snarling comedic misanthropy over the course of the movies, though he's had one ''hell'' of a bad weekend to justify it. It probably didn't help that his allies in both the second and third movie introduced themselves by trying to kill him.
{{quote|
* [[The Magic Versus Technology War]]; To some point, thanks to Ash's quick application of steam and gunpowder knowledge the medieval Englishmen got a chance against a vast undead army.
{{quote|
* [[Medieval Morons]]: "You primitive screwheads!"
* [[Men Are the Expendable Gender]]: SPECTACULARLY averted. Of the seven people killed in the first two movies, five of them are women. The [[Sole Survivor]] is even a man.
Line 184:
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]: On the Deadites.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The two sequels go from scary to hilarious and back again so quickly that your neck will hurt.
* [[The Musical]]: The franchise gained a musical adaptation, which has appeared on Broadway.
* [[Name's the Same]]: [[Mass Effect|Ashley Williams.]] Yeah it was deliberate.
{{quote|
* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: The titular army in ''Army of Darkness''. Partially subverted in that they ''run away screaming'' when shelled with explosive arrows and bags of gunpowder.
* [[Nipple-and-Dimed]]: There's a short, blink-and-you-miss-it moment in "Army of Darkness" where a couple of topless slave girls are herded past the camera. It may have been intended as [[Fan Service]], but the fact that they're being led off to be raped by demonic undead monsters achieves the [[Fan Disservice|opposite]] effect, underscored by the fact that it happens while {{spoiler|Sheila is being forcibly kissed by Deadite!Ash}}.
Line 193:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: The Two Other Lindas (the latter played by [[Bridget Fonda]])
* [[Our Demons Are Different]]: They're Sumerian demons that possess corpses and the weak-minded, turning them into monsters.
* [[Peek
* [[Popcultural Osmosis]]
* [[Post
* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: Kind of Ash's specialty...
{{quote|
'''Ash:''' Come to Papa.
'''Ash:''' Lady, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store. }}
** Cranked [[Up to Eleven]] in ''Fistful of Boomstick'' videogame, where Ash would spout random one-liners with a press of a button.
* [[Rain of Blood]]
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: Although this is present in the second film as well, "Army of Darkness" is so manly that it can make your TV grow chest hair and a full-length beard. [[Testosterone Poisoning|Some of it is definitely satirical, however.]]
* [[Real Life Relative]]: Ted Raimi, natch, who appears in every movie in different roles. Ivan Raimi is also credited as Fake Shemp in the first and third movies (the latter of which he co-wrote).
** Bruce Campbell's father also appears in ''Army of Darkness'' as one of the soldiers that gets killed in battle.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Retcon]]: In-universe example; the Book of the Dead is given the title "Naturom Demonto" in the first film, then changed to being the Necronomicon in the second film as a [[Shout-Out]] to [[
* [[Revised Ending]]: ''Army of Darkness'' originally has an [[Cruel Twist Ending]] with Ash {{spoiler|waking up in post apocalyptic England after taking too much of a sleeping potion}}, which was changed to a [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] filled ending thanks to [[Executive Meddling]].
** "Hail to the King, baby!"
* [[Rule of Cool]]: Ash kills demons with a shotgun in his left hand, and a chainsaw ''as'' his right hand, all while spouting one-liners and puns that are [[So Bad It's Good|so bad they're good.]]
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Partially the driving purpose behind the two sequels.
* [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche]]
* [[Sawed-Off Shotgun]]
* [[Shaky POV Cam]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: Included in the cellar is a ripped poster from ''The Hills Have Eyes''. Wes Craven returned the favor by showing ''Evil Dead'' on TV in ''[[A Nightmare
** A number of physical-comedy scenes from ''Army Of Darkness'' are an obvious ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' homage.
** The haunted forest with a girl running in the darkness and attacked by possessed trees reminds a little [[Snow White and
* [[The Siege]]
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: [[Lampshaded]] by Ash in ''Army of Darkness''.
{{quote|
* [[Slave Mooks]]: The first 2's deadites.
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Annie Knowby in ''Evil Dead 2''.The creators joke in their DVD commentary that, had she been in Ash's situation from the beginning, she would have solved the whole thing in about 30 minutes.
Line 225:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Twice in ''Evil Dead.'' Jazz music from a possessed record player when Ash is in the cellar where blood starts leaking from everything. Cheerful, big-band music also begins playing over the end credits, and then begins to... slow.
* [[Stock Shout-Outs]]:
** "[[Klaatu Barada Nikto]]" Taken from ''[[The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film)|The Day the Earth Stood Still]]'' but [[Older Than They Think|some just know it from this.]]
*** Well, they shouldn't, considering the line here is Klaatu Verata Nicto.
** In some of the movies the "Book of the Dead" is referred to as the [[
* [[Slept Through the Apocalypse]]: the original end of ''Army''.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Bruce Campbell is most definitely annoyed by the amount of people who ask him about ''Evil Dead IV''.
Line 234:
* [[Tired of Running]]: By the last fifteen minutes of each movie in the trilogy, Ash has been driven mad by the things the Evil has forced him to see and do, to the point where he is no longer scared so much as just pissed off. It is at this point he raises hell with his chainsaw and/or shotgun.
** In ''Army of Darkness'', Ash actually tells the panicking to go ahead and run if they wish.
{{quote|
* [[Title: the
* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: The "Morturom Demonto," though it becomes the "Necronomicron ex Mortis" in the sequels (after Sam Raimi learned about [[
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Cheryl, to some degree. The musical hangs a huge lampshade on this:
{{quote|
* [[Took a Level
** Bruce Campbell himself actually took a level in badass during the filming of ''Evil Dead 2'', so he could be a better fit to the shotgun-wielding chainsaw-handed king of badasses that Ash would eventually become.
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: Ash, in the [[Marvel Zombies]] crossover, is much more willing to hit on women and general has no idea what is going on.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Training the Peaceful Villagers]]: Sort of. They weren't exactly peaceful to begin with, but showing them how to make gunpowder certainly was useful. Oddly enough there's another scene where he teaches them how to use ''their own'' [[Blade
* [[The Undead]]: Naturally.
* [[Unholy Matrimony]]: Bad Ash and Bad Sheila in AOD.
Line 253:
* [[Weaponized Car]]: See [[Cool Car]] above.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Annie from ''Evil Dead 2'' was written as a role for [[Holly Hunter]]. Dino De Laurentis vetoed the choice as he didn't think she was beautiful enough.
* [[What Happened to Mommy?]]: Ash has a hard time convincing himself to kill his friends and girlfriend after they're possessed. Annie briefly faces this situation literally with her possessed mother.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Ash messes up reciting The Words and doesn't care that he has doomed everyone.
{{quote|
** It takes the castle getting raided, everyone turning his back on him, and his love interest kidnapped for him to snap out of it.
* [[When Trees Attack]]: The infamous "tree rape" scene from the original ''Evil Dead''.
Line 263:
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: the English in 1300 are perfectly capable of understanding Ash's very slangy modern English, and themselves speak modern English peppered with "thee"s and "shalt"s.
