It’s amazing what Sam Raimi managed to accomplish on such a shoestring budget. No wonder Marvel needed him to bring their most popular superhero to life!
Legend has its that it was written by the darkones,"Necronomican X-Mortis",roughly translated,Book of the dead. The book served as a passage way to the evil world's beyond.It was written long ago,When the seas ran with Blood.It was this blood that was used to ink the book. In the year 1300 A.D. The book disappeared... when i was kid,i just peed in my pants literaly hearing this screaming sound effects from the creatures ..memories🔥🔥
The day i saw this movie in my childhood i cant forget... this scene felt me like a" real horror ".. no other movies ever made that kind of feel..... it delevers a real horror atmosphere.the music, story, one man army .....
I just realized that the necronomicon was created by H.P. Lovecraft. So that means Evil dead was kinda cosmic horror and that Cthulhu probably exists on the franchise
I'd like to think so, but little of it resembles Lovecraft's writings. It's still amazing just how many of his fingerprints are all over horror, though, and even beyond the genre. Stephen King is a huge fan of Lovecraft. “Lovecraft. . . opened the way for me, as he had done for others before me.... It is his shadow, so long and gaunt, and his eyes, so dark and puritanical, which overlie almost all of the important horror fiction that has come since.” - Stephen King Other artists who claim inspiration from Lovecraft include Alan Moore, John Carpentar, Guillermo del Toro, Neil Gaiman, and countless others. Lovecraft wrote Herbert West-Renanimator, which began some zombie tropes decades before George Romero shot Night of the Living Dead. Robert Bloch, who knew Lovecraft through letter writing, wrote the novel Psycho that became the movie we all know and love. So Lovecraft even has a vague presence in the history of the slasher genre. Robert E. Howard, of Conan the Barbarian fame, was close to Lovecraft. You could say Lovecraft is responsible for a lot of the direction of horror and science fiction to this day.
Some people didn't like the tone of Evil Dead II and preferred the horror/gore approach of the original, but I guess Raimi's point with II was: in order to battle/defeat evil, you must first laugh at it; whatever.
The comedy in the film is situational, i.e. it's the things which strike the viewer as funny, rather than the film trying to tell you what's funny. The comedy never feels tacked-on to the action, but rather it's a natural occasional consequence of the demented events taking place, like the eye flying into the mouth. There are lots of horror comedies, but the genres rarely seem so perfectly interwoven as here. Peter Jackson's Brain Dead (AKA Dead Alive) would be another one, imo. I actually think the horror aspect of the second film is better as well. It's just so much more creepy and atmospheric. This intro is perfect.
Hanzo We don't know for sure if Pamela resurrected Jason with it (but it would make sense considering how the Deadites' Force would explain his teleportation abilities) but the Necronomicon is confirmed to exist in the F13th universe as we see in the Freddy VS Jason VS Ash comics and in Jason Goes To Hell.
Found an ad for a repro version of this , gotta admit I was drinking and unsupervised with money …..so I bought one , now just have to wait for delivery 😁
"In the year 1300 AD, the book disappeared." However, since then copies have been available for Hogwarts students and can be purchased at Flourish & Blotts bookstore in Diagon Alley.
{Necronomicon board room} Demon 1: what should this book have? Demon 2: instead of it having the ability to talk to your dead loved ones it should make evil spirits attack you and swallow your soul into hell!! Demon 1: how much should we put in it? Demon 2: how about instead of it being filled with multiple spells, it should be one convoluted spell that can repeat itself how many times it likes! And then just put demon porn in the rest of the pages!!!!!!! Demon 1: fuck it! Let's do it!
I hope the new evil dead movies draw inspiration from this it is literally heavy in new content. New deadite designs, sea running red with blood, please do a movie in the historic setting of the year 1300ad. So much potential
@@ilchsm6330 no clue who Ryan is😂😂 I watched The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 growing up lol, + Army of Darkness! Great films along with any other 80s Horror film my guy
I’ve always admired the animation done in the movie, especially in the opening sequence, it’s just phenomenal.
Yup the stop motion animation or practical effects have that natural creepiness that cgi can't.
yes absolutely, so natural and has enough oomph to fear us ! Damn, present cgi - no life in it !
Have u seen ash vs evil dead or heard of it but the reason Have u seen ash vs evil dead or heard of it im asking cause its not really popular
Evil Dead II - the Opening had me hooked me from the start..
endgame ? , it’s actually extremely popular.
It’s amazing what Sam Raimi managed to accomplish on such a shoestring budget. No wonder Marvel needed him to bring their most popular superhero to life!
And returned for the Multiverse of Madness
he did it best too
I came late to the Horror community but watching these movies for the first time I understand how important they are to the genre
When did you get into the horror genre? For me it was 12
Legend has it that it was written by the dark ones. Necronomicon Ex Mortis. Roughly translated, Book of the Dead.
The book served as a passageway to the evil worlds beyond.
@Benjamin Houston When the seas ran red with blood
In the year 1300 AD,
The book disappeared.
the book isn't real
0:49 I honestly can't get over how the book shuts and then just spins away.
Look at me i'm a cool evil book wooo aight my job here is done

This opening is much better than the Evil dead opening 1981 .
I have seen Evil Dead 2 more than 300 times
Hanzo i see myself in you
Get a life!
Cuz you were watching this movie for 16.25 days.
Eli Sst let him watch you moron
@@AutoSia "Let me go get my calculator so I can absolutely humiliate this guy." 🤓 /s
That's nothing, I've seen it more than 400 times 🤷♂️
I love nothing more than a dark comedy, and a lot of that probably attributes to the Evil Dead 2 VHS tape I watched religiously when I was a kid.
Hello Beautifal
This book had been used in just about every horror movie franchise at one time or another.
Thanks to HP Lovecraft
@@sweetcinnamonpnchkin written by the mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred.
Watching this as a kid. Messed up my brains. Lol
Legend has it there was once a king so evil that even the gods feared him...
This and In The Beginning by Mötley Crüe used to freak me out when I was a kid.
0:48 - 0:52
it was never meant for the world of the living.
Epic
That was used at the beginning of "Army of Darkness".
I watched this at 7 years old. It’s still in my mind.
Vi esse filme primeira vez na band quando tinha 6 anos morri de medo nem cheguei ao final
I was 7 years old when i watched it. I was born in the 80s. It might be the first horror movie I watched.
the piano, my GOD such creepy music..

So this and re animator are the same universe? Same decade for one
Amazing opening, amazing first act... amazing 2nd act, amazing ending... feckin amazing film!
Aah....so it's the Darkhold

0:23 What is that spider thing? I'd love to see Ash fight that.
maybe "the thing" reference
I’d love to see Ash fight the creatures showing around the book
0:21 I believe that was the demon who possessed Ash's friends in the first movie except it had eyeballs and its draping cloth was purple.
THE EVIL BOOK YOU READ THEN THE EVIL COMES
klato verta nickto.
*(cough cough)*
Then the vorehees family came and took possession of the necronomicon
Hanzo We don't know for sure if Pamela resurrected Jason with it (but it would make sense considering how the Deadites' Force would explain his teleportation abilities) but the Necronomicon is confirmed to exist in the F13th universe as we see in the Freddy VS Jason VS Ash comics and in Jason Goes To Hell.
Part 9 doesn't count.
Hanzo well the book of the dead appeared in the voorhees house in Jason goes to hell.
Plus in the tv series of ash vs evil dead ash williams kept it for 30 years
It’s confirmed! The Freddy glove is in the basement of cabin in Evil Dead 2
Spooky opening
The Book served as a passage way to the evil worlds beyond
Noah Johnson so trumps house
@Hanzo true dat
@@patrickstar8149 Shuuttt up lol
It's always the in the now to see someone else's videos of Evil Dead 2. Fantastic.
0:35 The Collector: Once, for a moment, a group was able to share the book amongst themselves, but even they were quickly destroyed by it.
Great intro. Very creepy.
There's something about old books with arcane forbidden knowledge that's intriguing, eh?
now that's an opening sequence.
The book. Spiders, horses , dead people , tornado hmmm. This books seems familiar .
Found an ad for a repro version of this , gotta admit I was drinking and unsupervised with money …..so I bought one , now just have to wait for delivery 😁
this is the opening to the 50 shades of grey movie
"In the year 1300 AD, the book disappeared."
However, since then copies have been available for Hogwarts students and can be purchased at Flourish & Blotts bookstore in Diagon Alley.
Harry Potter meets Evil Dead....That would be Awesome!
Harry Potter: Wicked.
And then it became known as the Day of the Doctor novelisation
Find the way, noble challenger! The WAY of the WARRIOR!
Very lovecraftian opening
I’m disappointed that Ash wasn’t in the multiverse madness fighting the marvel zombies
That would have been a sick ass cameo
That would have been sick AF
How long did it take The dark ones to create the books
{Necronomicon board room}
Demon 1: what should this book have?

@@theguy3851 is the "dark one" refers to the demon ? or merely a human
el mejor intro de todos los tiempos para una película de terror por eso es mi favorita
the real necronomicon also disappeared in around 1300s century now the book of the dead in Mascatonic university archive
The legend
*Now compare this opening to that of Evil Dead Rise (2023) and see the difference..*
Rise was so bad lol
@@blastradius9136 it was literally spitting on the name of this masterpiece franchise
This movie gave me pissless nights
I`m here after read the "at the Moutains of Madness": remembers me this opening
I hope the new evil dead movies draw inspiration from this it is literally heavy in new content. New deadite designs, sea running red with blood, please do a movie in the historic setting of the year 1300ad. So much potential
Still waiting for someone to edit all 3 movies into one long adventure cutting the recaps
Schade das dieser Trailer nicht als german version gibt das wäre auch sehr gut gewesen
super LEGEN HAS IT....AMAZING..

Sure
I never knew that there was a incantation to summon ash in the book of the dead😮this is news to me today
So its Twitter
Fun fact, the book created for ED2 was stolen and really did disappear
Ryan...yep
professor raymond knowby he has a tape recorder to speak his quick translations about Nerconomicon ex mortis the book of the dead
"The book served as a passage way to the evil worlds beyond." Now does that mean the book has been to other worlds than our own?
Absolutely
Imagine trying to visit these worlds.

It may hold a special place in so many, but the first movie is ALWAYS the best.
This introduction is still kind of scary. Check out my tribute video: ua-cam.com/video/Ec2BNCEl088/v-deo.html
