==Plot== <!-- Per [[WP:FILMPLOT]], plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words. As of August 12, 2020, the word count for this plot summary is 684 words.--><!-- Please keep the necessary improvements to this section (grammar, style, coherence, general-audience friendliness, etc.) within those guidelines.--> Five [[Michigan State University]] students β [[Ash Williams]], his girlfriend Linda, his sister Cheryl, their friend Scott, and Scott's girlfriend Shelly β vacation at an isolated cabin in rural [[Tennessee]]. Approaching the cabin, the group notices the porch swing move independently. However, it stops as Scott grabs the door key. While Cheryl draws a picture of a clock, the clock stops, and she hears a faint voice instruct her to "join us." Her hand becomes possessed, turns pale, and draws a picture of a book with a face on its cover. Although shaken, she does not mention the incident. When the cellar trapdoor flies open during dinner, Shelly, Linda, and Cheryl remain upstairs as Ash and Scott investigate the cellar. They find the ''[[Necronomicon#In popular culture|Naturom Demonto]]'', a [[Sumer]]ian version of the Egyptian ''[[Book of the Dead]]'', along with archaeologist Raymond Knowby's [[tape recorder]]. Scott later plays a tape of [[incantation]]s that resurrect a demonic entity. Cheryl yells for Scott to turn off the tape recorder, and a tree branch breaks one of the cabin's windows. Later that evening, an agitated Cheryl goes into the woods to investigate strange noises, and she is attacked and raped by [[Demonic possession|demonically possessed]] trees. When she escapes and returns to the cabin bruised and anguished, Ash agrees to take her back into town, only to discover that the bridge has been destroyed. The pair return to the cabin, where Ash learns from the tape that the only way to kill the entity is to dismember a possessed host. As Linda and Shelly play [[Spades (card game)|spades]], Cheryl correctly calls out the cards without looking at them, turns into a white-eyed zombie known as a βDeadite,β and begins levitating. In a raspy voice, she demands to know why they disturbed her sleep and threatens to kill everyone. She stabs Linda in the ankle with a pencil and throws Ash into a shelf. Scott knocks Cheryl into the cellar and locks her inside. Everyone fights about what to do. Having become paranoid upon seeing Cheryl's demonic transformation, Shelly goes to her room but is drawn to look out of her window, where an unseen demon crashes through and attacks her, turning her into a Deadite. She attacks Scott before he throws her into the fireplace, slashes her wrist, and then stabs her in the back with a Sumerian dagger, apparently killing her. When she reanimates, Scott dismembers her with an axe. Ash and Scott then bury her remains. Shaken by the experience, Scott leaves to find a way back to town. He returns shortly after, mortally wounded by the possessed trees, and dies while warning Ash that the trees will not allow their escape. Ash checks on Linda and realizes that she has become possessed. She attacks Ash, who stabs her with the Sumerian dagger. Unwilling to dismember her, he buries her instead. She revives and attacks him, forcing him to decapitate her with a shovel. Her headless body bleeds on his face as it attempts to rape him. He escapes as Linda dies and then retreats to the cabin. Back inside, Ash discovers that Cheryl has escaped the cellar. Cheryl eludes Ash and attempts to choke him. Ash escapes her grasp and then shoots Cheryl in the jaw. As Ash is barricading the door, Scott's dead body reanimates into a Deadite. Scott attacks Ash and inadvertently knocks the book close to the fireplace. Ash gouges Scott's eyes out and pulls a tree branch from Scott's stomach, causing him to bleed out and fall to the ground. Cheryl breaks through the door and knocks Ash to the floor. As Scott and Cheryl continue to attack Ash on the ground, Ash grabs the book and throws it into the fireplace. While the book burns, the Deadites freeze in place and decompose rapidly. Large appendages burst from both corpses, covering Ash in blood. Dawn breaks, and Ash stumbles outside. As he walks away from the cabin, an unseen demon races through the forest and attacks him as he screams in terror.
