* The BolivianArmyEnding sees Ash managing to survive, defeat the Deadites and emerge from the cabin the next morning after destroying the book. Cue a CruelTwistEnding when the ominous Evil Dead is revealed to still be alive, wakes up in the woods and rushes to and through the cabin, lunging at Ash before he can escape as he screams at the top of his lungs and the movie ends. If you didn't know it was a franchise, and thus that Ash had survived, it may very well have ended with Ash dead or something far worse [[AllForNothing after everything he managed to live through]].

* While some might say that ''The Evil Dead'' is really dated, few would deny that the scene of the demon-possessed trees raping Cheryl holds up as absolutely terrifying. It's actually considered one of the 100 Scariest Movie Moments.

A Happy Ending Override has to occur in a film’s sequel. Because it’s still during this film, it’s a Sudden Downer Ending.

* The whole scene that leads to the reveal of Cheryl's possession, starting with Cheryl calling the cards more and more angrily with each one, continuing with the Deadite telling them they will all be killed, and then with Deadite Cheryl stabbing Shelly in the ankle with a pencil, and ''dragging it down''. The worst is, it's only just begun.
