* MalevolentMutilation: Crosses SelfHarm with BodyHorror. Deadites from all three books have been shown mutilating themselves: Deadite Shelly gnawed off her own half-severed arm to be able to properly wield a weapon, while Deadites from the books seen in the 2013 and 2023 movies seem to be driven to mutilate themselves almost on instinct, it usually being the first immediate thing a possessed individual does.

** Across the film franchise, Deadites behave differently and have different powers and advantages depending on which book summoned them. The Williams copy can possess the widest variety of objects and move between hosts with the greatest ease, while the Allen copy can summon an EldritchAbomination if it's able to possess five people. The Bixler copy produces Deadites that are by far the hardest to kill--however, it's worth noting that the incantation read from the first two was a mere three or four words, while the incantation from the third was much longer, [[FromBadToWorse perhaps suggesting that]] ''[[FromBadToWorse all]]'' [[FromBadToWorse Deadites could be even more dangerous if an entire incantation were read]].

* InvincibleBoogeymen: While the Deadites are vulnerable (if very conventionally difficult to put down), the Evil that dwells in them is often beyond the protagonists' ability to confront, having no physical shape and possessing power far beyond theirs. This occasionally presents problems; in the original movie and the [[EvilDeadRise 2023]] movie, even if the Deadites are contained or destroyed, it won't stop the Evil from simply vacating the corpses and possessing someone else. If the original trilogy is any indication, the only real means of defying it once it's loose lies within the pages of the book that summons it.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: [[InvertedTrope Harshly inverted.]] While Deadites seem to be driven by a malicious hatred of all life, the Evil that possesses them almost universally targets women first and men a distant second. [[Film/TheEvilDead1981 All three]] [[Film/EvilDead2013 possession]] [[Film/EvilDeadRise scenes]] have shown the Evil targeting and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping its way into]] control of isolated women. From there, women have mostly undergone successive possessions long before any men are turned into Deadites. Cheryl, Shelly, and Linda all turn well before Scotty or Ash, and the pattern is followed with Mia, Olivia, and Natalie in the remake and Ellie and Bridget in the 2023 movie.

* BloodMagic: Each book responds to blood in different ways. The first copy (see below) wakes up and speaks, while the second one found in the Allen cabin simply absorbs the blood and allows its incantations to be seen through the scribbles intended to make them illegible. Similarly, the third copy has ''teeth'' and won't open at all until exposed to a blood sample.
