"Evil Dead 2" is a comedy horror film directed by American director Sam Raimi, the second part of the trilogy of the same name, also known as "Evil Dead 2: Death by Dawn" (English: Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) .
The concept for an Evil Dead sequel was discussed and developed during the filming of the original film.
Among the many things that inspired the film were slapstick comedies, including mainly films by the Three Stooges. For example, Ash's fight with his possessed hand was taken from a short film by Scott Spiegel called Attack of the Helping Hand.


The Necronomicon Ex-Mortis (Book of the Dead) possessed various dark powers, such as summoning and controlling the Kandarian Demon and his servants, as well as creating a portal that could open both to the past and to another world where underground creatures like the dead live . The book itself was made from the skin of the "Damned", created primarily as a weapon against humanity. Images and spells were written in it with human blood. Most of the spells were intended to open a portal to another world.

Necronomicon Ex-Mortis possessed various dark powers, such as summoning and controlling the Kandarian Demon and his servants, as well as creating a portal that could open both to the past and to another world where underground creatures like the dead live. Although the book has many different spells, the book itself is more like a tool and passage for the Kandarian Demon and Deadites to Earth. The book also describes the Chosen One, who will be able to fight the evil caused by the book. The powers of the book can also affect inanimate objects (as, for example, was the case in Ash vs. Evil Dead).
