* CaliforniaDoubling:
** ''Army of Darkness'' takes place in medieval England, but it's pretty obviously filmed in Bronson Canyon and [[KirksRock Vasquez Rocks]] in California. Bruce Campbell has a lot of fun ribbing Sam Raimi about it in their DVD commentary.
** Notably averted in the first two movies, which really were filmed in the Appalachian forest, specifically Tennessee for the first film and North Carolina for the second (much to the chagrin of the Michigan-based cast and crew, especially during the first film).
** Ever since the 2013 reboot, each franchise entry has been filmed in New Zealand, where producer Rob Tapert lives.
* ChannelHop: All of them were produced by Rob Tapert's Creator/RenaissancePictures, but the distributor has changed with each and every film:
** The [[Film/TheEvilDead1981 original film]] was released theatrically by Creator/NewLineCinema and on home video by Thorn EMI simultaneously in the US, and by numerous other distributors internationally (notably Palace Video in the UK, where it ended up as a notorious [[Main/VideoNasties "Video Nasty"]]). In the US, the film has since been released on home video by HBO/Cannon Video (VHS), Congress Video (VHS), Elite Entertainment (Laserdisc), and for over 20 years by Anchor Bay (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray). Lionsgate inherited the US rights after folding AB into their company, and they released the film on 4K UHD in 2018. Their rights expired in 2023, and the film reverted to Sony, who has distributed overseas since 2009.
** ''Film/EvilDead2'' was produced by Dino De Laurentiis, and released independently by De Laurentiis Entertainment Group under the name Rosebud Releasing for legal reasons. The film was denied an R rating by the MPAA, and this was the only way the film could go out unrated. The film is now in [=StudioCanal=]'s catalog internationally, and has been released on home video in the US by Vestron Video (VHS), Elite Entertainment (Laserdisc), Anchor Bay (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray), and Lionsgate (Blu-ray, 4K UHD).
** ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' was released by Universal domestically and MGM overseas (with different cuts). On home video, the film has also been licensed to Anchor Bay (VHS, DVD) and Shout Factory's Scream Factory branch (Blu-ray, 4K UHD).
** The [[Film/EvilDead2013 reboot]] was Sony's [=TriStar=] Pictures in most territories and [=StudioCanal=] in France and the UK. It has also been licensed by Scream Factory for a 4K UHD.
** ''Series/AshVsEvilDead'' was made directly by Starz, who was purchased by Lionsgate during production. On Blu-ray, the first two seasons originally went out under Anchor Bay (they were owned by Starz) and Season 3 was under Lionsgate. The series could not legally reference events from ''Army of Darkness'' in its first season, but were able to some in the second season after reaching an agreement with Universal.
** ''Film/EvilDeadRise'' is once again back with New Line, with Warner Bros. distributing in the US (the film was originally supposed to go straight to HBO Max). The film was released by [=StudioCanal=] in the UK.
* CompletelyDifferentTitle
** Japanese:
*** The Evil Dead [=/=] 2 [=/=] 2013-> 死霊のはらわた (Ghost Intestines)
*** Army of Darkness -> キャプテン・スーパーマーケット (Captain Supermarket)
** In Italy, along with CensoredTitle, it became just ''La Casa'' (The House) to widen its appeal…
*** DolledUpInstallment[=\=]TheMockbuster: ...leading to three InNameOnly sequels, released as ''[[Film/LaCasa3 Ghosthouse]]'', ''Witchery'' and ''Beyond Darkness'' overseas. In a bit of hilarious coincidence, two sequels to ''Film/{{House}}'' became ''La Casa'' installments, ''Film/HouseIITheSecondStory'' as ''La Casa 6'', and not-much-sequel ''Film/TheHorrorShow'' as ''La Casa 7''.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** Linda is played by a different actress in every appearance: Betsy Baker in the original film, Denise Bixler for ''Evil Dead 2's'' opening flashback (and [[spoiler: her corpse's talking head]]), Creator/BridgetFonda for ''Army of Darkness's'' opening flashback, and Rebekkah Farrell for [[spoiler: her corpse's talking head]] in ''Ash vs. Evil Dead''. Finally averted in ''Evil Dead: The Game'', where Baker returns after over 40 years to provide the voice.
** ''VideoGame/PokerNight2'' is the first time Ash ''isn't'' played by Bruce Campbell (he's voiced by Danny Webber).
** Ash never had the same voice in European French dubs in-between installments. In chronological order: Frédéric Girard (1981), Philippe Bellay (1987), Creator/PatrickFloersheim (1992) and Thierry Mercier (''Ash vs. Evil Dead'').
* RealLifeRelative: 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).
* ReferencedBy: In the hospital scene of ''Film/SpiderMan2'', the lunging POV shot from the sensors on the tentacles is reminiscent of the POV of the "Evil" in ''Evil Dead''. A side view of one of the tentacles zooming toward a screaming woman also mimics the "flying eye" gag in ''Evil Dead 2''. The doctor grabbing a chainsaw-esque surgical tool in particular feels like a nod to the chainsaw-handed Ash Williams.
* SimilarlyNamedWorks: The song "Evil Dead" by DeathMetal band ''Music/{{Death}}''.
* StarMakingRole: Bruce Campbell is most definitely annoyed by the amount of people who ask him about ''Evil Dead IV''.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Ash was planned to appear as a GuestFighter in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', but the plan fell through. No exact reason had ever been given, though the most popular and consistent seems to be legal issues that have plagued the ''Evil Dead'' series in the past.
