7 | * The final scene of ''Film/AloneInTheDark2005'' is (depending on how generous the viewer is) either a rip-off or an homage of the final shots of ''The Evil Dead''. |
8 | * ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' shares quite a few things with the film, as a deliberate homage: |
9 | ** Identical plot set-up (five college students go on a retreat in the woods; things go wrong). |
10 | ** The titular cabin is basically a copy of the one seen in ''Film/TheEvilDead1981'', complete with an evil basement. The scene where the basement trapdoor swings open is a faithful recreation of the same scene from the original. |
11 | ** An ominous book with an ancient chant plays a role in the plot. |
12 | ** Deadites and "Angry Molesting Tree" are among the creatures listed on the technicians' blackboard, and the latter makes a (non-rapey) cameo in the initial elevator-room carnage scene. |
13 | * In ''Film/DonnieDarko'', the title character takes his girlfriend to see the film at the movies; it's what's playing on the screen when the wormhole appears. |
14 | * In ''Film/JennifersBody'', Needy has the film's poster on her wall, and Jennifer wears a T-shirt with the poster on one occasion.. |
15 | * Nancy is seen watching the movie in ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet1984'' (Freddy Krueger's glove later appears in the workshed in ''Film/EvilDead2''; apparently, Creator/SamRaimi and Creator/WesCraven had something of a FriendlyRivalry at the time and would try to one-up one another). |
16 | * 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". |

19 | * In ''Literature/{{Newsflesh}}'', Shaun uses a rather odd plot summary as a burner-phone password. |

21 | [[AC: TV Series]] |
22 | * Director Creator/EdgarWright is a self-proclaimed fan of the franchise, and while ''Series/{{Spaced}}'' references the Evil Dead sequels in a more overt manner, it also recreates certain camera shots from the first installment. |
23 | * In ''Series/StrangerThings'', Jonathan has the movie's poster on his wall. The Byers house is also filmed similarly to the cabin setting in the film. |
24 | |
25 | [[AC: Video Games]] |
26 | * ''VideoGame/GhostlyMatter'' has, as one of its many references to horror and fantasy properties of all kinds, a part where the protagonist enters a lone cabin in the woods, activates a record player and summons a demonically-possessed floating man for a boss fight. |
