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.

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.

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.
