The Evil Dead

Hey Ash, where are we?

Well, we just crossed the Tennessee Border.

Which would put us...

Yeeeah?

Which would put us...

Right... Here.

What the hell was that? Are you trying to kill us?

Hey! Don't blame me! It's your steering wheel! Damn thing jerked

right out of my hands.

I don't understand it. I had this thing in for a tune-up yesterday

and they said they'd go over everything.

Yeah! Well you better take it back because the damn thing don't

work. The one thing that does work is this lousy horn.

Ah! Go to hell! I'm not honking at you!

Jesus Christ.

Hey Scotty! What's this place like anyway?

Well, the guy that's renting it says it's an old place. Little run

down, but it's right up in the mountains. Yeah, and the best part

is that we get it so cheap.

Yeah, why are we getting it so cheap?

Well, I don't know. Might be in real bad shape.

You mean, nobody's seen this place yet?

Well, not yet.

Well, it might not be that bad.

No.

Actually, it might be kind of nice.

Yeah.

It's probably a real pit.

Ya, I think this is where we get off.

This is the bridge we're going to cross?

Jesus Christ! The whole thing's falling apart on us!

Don't let the noise fool you girls, this thing is solid as a rock.

It's supposed to be one of these on here.

Will you stop it?

I would very much like to make a toast for all this evening.

"Ah, as a great friend of mine once said, he said, ""I..."" Oh Ok Ok"

"""??This miss tu tarine??""."

Which means?

Party down! Ya!

What is this?

Whatever it is, it's still down there.

I don't like cellars. Let's just close it up. It's probably just

some animal.

An animal? An animal? That is the stupidest thing I

ever heard of. Jesus Christ.

There's something down there.

Maybe it is just some animal.

Yeah, you're probably right. Probably just some animal. Here

Cheryl, why don't you go down 'n check, make sure?

Scotty! I'm not going down there!

Ok, Ok you cowards, I'll go.

Be careful.

Back in a minute.

Hey Scotty! You find anything? Scotty. Scotty! Scott!

He's just kidding around... Isn't he?

Scotty!! Scott! Linda, get me a flashlight.

That's the only one we brought up.

Then get the lantern.

Boo!! Hahahahahah Hey, come here, I wanna show you

something. Look at all this stuff. I bet this still shoots.

Probably does.

Oh God. Look at this.

Look at this. This kind of looks like your

old girlfriend. C'mon, let's take this stuff upstairs.

I'll grab the recorder and you get everything else now...

Ok, shhhh... Listen to this. This is the tape I found downstairs.

(On tape) It has been a number of years since I began excavating

the ruins of Candar with a group of my colleges. Now my wife and

I have retreated to a small cabin in the solitude of these mountains.

Here I continued my research undisturbed by the myriad distractions

of modern civilization and far from the groves of academe. I believe

I have made a significant find in the Candarian Ruins. A volume of

Ancient Sumarian burial practices and funerary incantations. It is

"entitled ""Morturom Demonto""- roughly translated, ""Book of the Dead""."

The book is bound in human flesh and inked in human blood. It deals

with demons and demon resurrection and those forces which roam the

forest and dark bowers of man's domain. The first few pages warn

that these enduring creatures may lie dormant but are never truly

dead. They may be recalled to active life through the incantations

presented in this book. It is through recitation of these passages

that the demons are given license to possess the living.

Hey! What did you do that for? It was just getting good!

I just don't want to hear it anymore, that's all.

Ooooooooo

Scotty, c'mon. Leave her alone, man.

Hey, c'mon. I just want to hear the rest of it. No big deal.

Shut it off! Shut it off! Shut it off!!!

Cheryl. Where're you going?

I can't believe this. Scott, you knew not to play that!

I mean c'mon, you knew it was upsetting her. You just don't know

when you're taking something too far.

Hey, don't give me that! You were playing it too. You could of shut

it off. I mean big deal! She's nuts. I mean it's just a joke,

c'mon! Jesus Christ. She acts like she's three years old or

something.

Listen. Why don't we stay up for a while and listen to the storm?

All right, yeah. Let me check on Cheryl first to see if she's Ok.

Aha!

Ohh! Stealing from the blind, hunh? This is for you.

Ash, how sweet of you.

Would you put it on?

Oh yeah, sure. I was going to give it to you before we came up here,

but things got so hectic, this is really the first chance we've had

to be alone. Take a look.

Oh Ash! It's beautiful. I really love it. I'll never take it off.

Join us!

Is anybody out there?

I know someone's out there. I heard you. I heard you in the cellar.

Ashley!!!

What the hell happened to you? What's the matter with you? Did

something in the woods do this to you?

No! It was the woods themselves! They're alive Ashley! The trees!

They're alive.

Ash. Why don't I take her in the back room so she can lie down.

I'm not lying down! I want to get out of here. I want to leave

this place right now. Right now Ashley!

Wait a minute. I sure as hell am not leaving any place tonight.

Cheryl.

Cheryl.

Cheryl, there's nothing out there. Trees do not attack people.

Ashley! Will you drive me into town or not?

What? Right now?! Look, sure, sure, I'll take you into town, but

just listen to what you're saying.

I don't care how it sounds. I wanna get out of this place right

now.

Ok, maybe you could stay somewhere in town tonight.

I know it's not gonna start. It's not gonna let us leave.

Why are you stopping?

Wait here a minute.

Do you see something? Where're you going? Ashley? Ashley?

It's not going to let us go! It's not going to let us go!

I told you! I told you! It's not going to let us go! Why won't

you listen to me?

(On tape) I know now that my wife has become host to a Candarian

demon. I fear that the only way to stop those possessed by the

spirits of the book is through the act of bodily dismemberment. I

believe now to avoid this horror, but for myself, I have seen the

dark shadows moving in the woods and I have no doubt that whatever I

have resurrected through this book is sure to come calling... for me.

Ok, ah, let me think. Ummm... It's a seven.

Oh! What suit?

Ahh... diamonds. N-n-no wait! Ummm, hearts!

Oh My! It's seven of hearts! You're right!

Hey Ash! I guessed the card right!

Yeah... truly amazing Linda.

I don't know. I don't know, but I think it's really some sort of

extra sense or something, you know, like ESP.

Ok, try this one.

Ok... It's a seven.

I don't believe it!

... of spades. Queen of Spades. Four of Hearts. Eight of Spades.

Two of Spades. Jack of Diamonds. Jack of Clubs!

Why have you disturbed our sleep? Awakened us from our ancient

slumber? You will die! Nightmare is before you. One by one we will

take you.

What happened to her?

Did you see her eyes? Oh Ash, I'm scared. What's wrong with her?
